So it has become tradition. When a new Sarah Rees Brennan book comes out, I get all ready, read the previous books in the series, and wait. And wait. And check my email and the tracking information, or call the book store, and wait, and wait, and finally, it arrives, like a shower of gold from heaven! Only not like that at all, because that was the Ancient Greeks being strange. But you know what I mean. Actually, the first time, I reread a bunch of Rees Brennan’s fanfiction, but it comes to the same thing.
With Merris, the leader of the Goblin Market’s proclamation, and Nick showing up as a student at her school, Sin’s life has not been going as well as she hoped. The Aventurine Circle, magicians who feed people to demons for their power are on the move with her friend and rival’s brother among their ranks, and she can’t get rid of the Ryves brothers, to whom she owes a debt that can never be repaid. She must stop the circle and figure out what to do with the brothers if she hopes to keep the Market and its people safe and take her place as their leader.
( “Your plan is always killing, Nicholas,” Alan said. “It worries me. I want you to have many goals.” )
The last book in the trilogy is out, which means there will be no more novel snippets from said series or short stories set in the same universe showing up on Rees Brennan’s livejournal. It’s all over. You have no idea how much this grieves me. She called the ones she published between the release of Covenant and Surrender “Surrender Cookies”, which always makes me think that there are these cookies that you eat, and suddenly, *swoon* you feel compelled to throw down your weapons and accept this new guy who insists he’s ruling your country now.
Her livejournal, where you definitely should go, Dear Readers, at least to read the cookies, is
