The Odd DUck Society
|
Jessamy Aubertine is too much for her university classmates, too little for her overstressed mum, and nothing in between. Then a mysterious letter signed by Jane Austen brings her back to her family’s fading tea shop and a pair of unlikely comrades. Will they find the letter writer—and perhaps discover themselves along the way? Or will their friendship fade with The Muses?

Rachel Leitch writes stories of self-discovery and exploration for young and new adults. In the past, this has taken the form of historical with a dash of adventure, but lately she's been experimenting with fantasy.
She lives her own adventure in northern Indiana, with her momma, three sisters, two brothers, and a dog who thinks he’s the hero of her story (and quite frankly, everyone's story). She teaches students to be as bookish as she is during the school year as a general paraprofessional and volunteers at an off-Broadway theater during the summer. When she’s not hidden away writing, she’s trying to fit all her reads on her shelf in a somewhat organized manner, consuming a level of chai that borders on hazardous, or nerding out over Disney. In all her adventures, she discovers more about the Father of Lights. |

My Not-So-OFFICIAL SIX OF CROWS ANALYSIS
April 29, 2025
Who’s up for another hyperfixation time?
I warned you about this article. An article detailing all the reasons that I love the Six of Crows duology by Leigh Bardugo. Friends recommended these books over and over, and every time they did, I’d add it to my TBR list, certain I’d get around to it at some point. (Famous last words.)
Except this time, I did get around to it. And this book blew me away. I speed-ordered the sequel and found myself just as engaged. These books quickly worked their way into my favorites of all time.
So I did what I love to do with all my favorite stories and tried to figure out why it drew me in. I’ve learned a lot about telling stories and my own writing this way.
Six of Crows was no exception. And I realized that Six of Crows also showed me what stories I want to tell.
