Novel & Cerita Book Review The Nest

“Did you turn the second bedroom into a fully furnished nursery for your baby with the hopes that she’ll see how thorough you’re being?” “Have you been going through my accounts again?” I can hear Nik’s smirk through the phone. “Let me guess: if she were to walk into that kitchen right now, she’d find it fully stocked with all the best prenatal foods your G****e research has come up with. All organic, too.” “It’s important to be prepared.” He’s really starting to grate on my nerves. “You literally created a love nest. ‘Look at me, I’m the best mate, I made you a nest with food and shiny rocks!’ Penguins mate with more subtlety than you.”

The one in the nest, however, was unmistakably Kire. Her deep purple tail was coiled protectively, layered over itself in tight, thick rings, completely shielding her lower body. The nest around her had been built with precise care—layers of furs, woven blankets, and softened reeds arranged perfectly to maintain warmth and comfort. The air around her was dense with an unspoken warning, a silent declaration of her space. Even as she turned to look at Ashwin, her golden eyes gleaming with amusement, there was an undeniable weight in her presence. Nest protection.

The idea of food was tossed out, and no one disagreed. Valen led us through a series of winding alleys until we stopped before a humble, single-story place tucked between tall buildings. The sign read Dragon Nest. From the outside, it looked… plain. Ordinary. Inside wasn’t much better—stone walls shaped like a dragon’s cave, dim candlelight, a few rough paintings of dragons. The tables were dark, worn wood. Nothing fancy, nothing regal. But there was a warmth to it, a mysterious coziness that made me curious.

Its beak and talons were free. "It's nest must be in that tree. Approach with caution." Tatsuya instructed. The Devourer's nest was down a hole in the middle of the huge tree. It was only accessible from the top and hidden from view thanks to the lush canopy of the tree. Upon reaching the nest, they realised that what was in the nest were not chicks like they feared but huge eggs amongst what could only be described as the aftermath of a disaster. There was a mix of dead and half-alive creatures of different sizes. There were even hints of hover ship wreckage among the mess.

Ernest looked at her. Don said: "You read the book." Ruth said: "Yes. Both books." She had the specific quality of someone who had read the books as the arguments they were, not as the records of the people she was about to meet. "The Inside Account gave me the frame for understanding what an estate is when it is inhabited correctly. The Ground Keeps gave me the frame for understanding what the ground requires from the person who is in it." Don held her gaze. "What did you find in The Ground Keeps that was most useful," he said.

Jade thought of buying some nutritious supplements for Yvonne for her health. When Jade got back home, she went searching for recipes for pregnant women. Then she found out that the pregnant women in Singapore and Hong Kong started eating bird nests two or three months before they got pregnant. Not only that it could strengthen the mother's health, but it could also make the baby stronger in the future, fairer, prettier, and would not get sick easily. A bird nest was a nourishing tonic. Jade's eyes brightened up, she decided to get some bird nests for Yvonne to nourish her body.

But since I just couldn't bring myself to sell the house, I rented it to a small family and moved into the apartment with Reese and Nick's cat Cherry. But too much had happened there too for both of us to have endured there for long. About half a year after I moved in with him, we looked for an apartment near the guild. Our little retreat. There we could lock out the past and hide away if the world threatened to collapse over us again.

At the top of several sat what looked like enormous nests. A quick perusal of my immediate surroundings and I knew that I was inside a nest. Three great eggs were nestled together in the center. Thankfully, I hadn't broken one when I arrived. From outside the nest came an atrocious sound. I turned in time to see an enormous emerald dragon appear out of the sky and hover above one of the nests with what looked like the remnants of a broken cow dangling from its claws. Little faces appeared and began devouring the carcass. "I need to get out of here." If a mamma found me inside her nest, she would probably tear me to shreds.
