Today is day 27 of my countdown to 2023.  Today’s prompt is ‘Christmas Crackers’.  The prompts can be found here if you want to join in.  I’m hoping to use mostly books read this year.  Let’s begin:

CHRISTMAS CRACKERS (Ended With A Bang)

I had a book in mind for this one as soon as I came up with the prompt.  The Girl and the Moon by Mark Lawrence is the concluding book in the Book of Ice series.  It’s a fantastic conclusion to the series but more than that it seems to make reference to other works by the author and it’s just so satisfying.  A masterpiece.
