It was an okay read. Not my usual cup of tea, but not terribly hard to get through.
It was very... disturbing.

Enjoyable,  action filled, and sexy.
I can see myself continuing the rest of the series.

What a great ending for our beloved characters. And o my, the spicy spicy spicy!! πŸ”₯🌢🌢🌢πŸ”₯ As others, I too, am sad to have the conclusion of the trilogy.  One of the best fae, witchy, sex-positive, polygamous romances I've read so far. I cried and laughed and blushed... o how I blushed...

I decided to save this until closer to finishing the the end of the series. A perfect choice for me before going into the final book, and because of the way book 13, Towers of Midnight ended.
I really appreciated this prequel of Moiraine's progress to Aes Sedai, and how she met Lan, two of my favorite characters in this world.

So much is happening as we get closer and closer to the final battle with the Dark One. All the pieces are coming together!

This sequel to Ninth House was a good continuation to Alex Stern's story. However I'm not feeling a high priority to continue if there is a 3rd book in the future.  This could change though.

A cute Rom-Com. Grumpy meets sweet... another lovely story by Sarah Adams. 
The perfect cinnamon roll for a fall day.... or in this case a slice of pie with a scoop of ice cream on the side.

This was an enjoyable quest adventure fantasy. I'm intrigued enough to possibly pick up the next book at some point. I definitely do not regret my time reading this story. The side characters who assisted our young protagonist where an eclectic little group.  I  wonder if they will meet again, and who she will meet next on other adventures.

So much happening! I didn't want to stop reading... even to eat, or sleep! 2 books left! I will be finishing the series before the end of the year!
There was more of each character, and Matt, omgosh... I was so annoyed by him and now he's more than grown in me, because I found him to be a source of comic relief. I was laughing out loud many times.
I also, found myself feeling for Rand in this book. I'm shocked.
Can't wait to read book 13!

It was OK. I thought it was an interesting premise.  But I won't be continuing the series.
