More Than A Book Club

Adults who enjoy reading novels written for teens are invited to relax over refreshments and discuss books chosen by club members. Along with this month's discussion, we will play the board game, Forbidden Island.

March's feature is Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes. We encourage you to read the book in advance. Ask for a copy at the circulation desk.

Book jacket description: War brought them together. Love will tear them apart.
 
Princess Cleo of Mytica confronts violence for the first time in her life when a shocking murder sets her kingdom on a path to collapse. Once a privileged royal, Cleo must now summon the strength to survive in this new world and fight for her rightful place as queen.
 
The King of Limeros's son, Magnus, must plan each footstep with shrewd, sharp guile if he is to earn his powerful father's trust, while his sister, Lucia, discovers a terrifying secret about her heritage that will change everything.
 
Rebellious Jonas lashes out against the forces of oppression that have kept his country cruelly impoverished and finds himself the leader of a people's revolution centuries in the making.
 
Witches, if found, are put to death, and Watchers, immortal beings who take the shape of hawks to visit the human world, have been almost entirely forgotten. A vicious power struggle quickly escalates to war, and these four young people collide against each other and the rise of elementia, the magic that can topple kingdoms and crown a ruler in the same day.
