Bonus Book of the Month: ‘Network Effect’ by Martha Wells
Well, if you are and in case you didn’t know MBC is obsessed with the series, and the community has chosen Network Effect as the bonus book for February! This month feels extremely short and we have chosen two short books filled with magical world-building and wonderful characters.
Maude Garrett has had Martha Wells on the show to discuss the first two novellas, and it was a great discussion.

‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’ Courts Breakdown
We know that Fantasy readers LOVE maps. Any map found when opening a book for the first time fills our hearts with joy. It draws the reader directly into the world and gives much-needed structure in visualizing where these characters reside. The map in A Court of Thorns and Roses shows where all the Faes live and the breakdown of the Courts.

‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’ Character Breakdown
Maude’s Book Club will FINALLY dive into A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. There will be a total of six books in the series. There is a long list of characters in each court. But Maas breaks down all the courts so well. The world-building is possibly the best aspect of the series because of what Maas created.
The main characters of Tamlin, Rhysand and Feyre keep readers invested in the story and have become household names for Fantasy readers. MBC is thrilled to have these characters in January! And for those reading it for the first time, we’re hoping that our community members would want to continue the series!
