I did imply the next crossword puzzle was going to the These Broken Stars on last week’s Illuminae puzzle, but I happened to finish my Children of Blood and Bone puzzle and wanted this one to be up next!
I am banana’s excited for Children of Virtue and Vengeance (coming December 3rd, 2019) and thought this was a decent way to refresh on the story! Kind of a summary that you have to work for. Which might defeat the purpose. Lots of people have the book recapped, and I have a review here, but I do think that this is a fun way to see how much you remember. Also it has been on the NYT Bestseller list for 76 weeks so I assume lots of people have it fresh in their minds! And those new B&N Maji Clan Editions, they make me want to be financially irresponsible.
Basically Tomi Adeyemi is a genius and I had so much fun revisiting her world!
Notes on the Puzzle
Ignore #41, that totally should have been whited out. Also #20 down has a spelling mistake that is noted in the clues, I did not notice it until my final check while writing the questions. So you get a freebee.
Here is the link to last week’s Illuminae puzzle answers! I’m not sure which puzzle is going up next! I have three puzzles completely finished and ready to go (These Broken Stars, Pride and Prejudice, and The Storm Crow) but I am currently unsure what is going up next!
