This book is remarkable. What a comprehensive and beginner-friendly overview of the history of the war in Palestine. I can’t wait to get a physical copy and annotate this. The audiobook was incredible and I highly recommend it! It’s important to learn more about the world around you and what our gov’t participates in. The good, bad and the downright evil. 

This started so slowly I lost interest in this about 30% in. It didn’t pick up until the last 25% where everything starts to come together. I think this book was way too long. I would have liked this a lot more if it was more concise. My favorite twist (and favorite part honestly) was the one about the Wolf Queen. 

I can see why this book came so highly recommended. I loved the world-building, the characters, the chosen one with a twist trope, found family and the magic system especially. 

One major issue I had with this was the pacing. I had to reread the first page like three times because I couldn’t really understand where we were starting. I thought the first chapter was a really odd way to open the book. It made more sense as the book went along but it was just strange that I was confused by the first page. I almost softly dnfed this. Then also it would go really fast in parts with alot of action and then slow way way way down in between to the point where I was like are we going to get to the action at some point 🤣 The ending felt completely rushed even though there was a really good twist right before the ending that I did not see coming. 

Overall, a really good book that just suffered from bad pacing. I also don’t feel invested enough in the characters to continue to the next book. I think this would have been fine as a standalone novel. 

This really is about what a Hollywood writer will do to succeed in a world that wants you dead. The protagonist goes on a really fascinating journey seeing his written villians come to life to kill him. A very original concept and one I enjoyed very much. It was quite graphic so please keep that in mind. This is not a cozy horror book lol. The point this book lost me was the how. How were the evil characters in his scripts real? Well.. read and find out. The details confused me but I still really liked this. 

I waited to listen to the audiobook because so many famous writers were cast to be in it but I honestly couldn’t tell you who was who and it sounded like only one or two different voices. So it was alittle disappointing that the audiobook wasn’t as big of a production as I thought it would be. Still enjoyable

That is not where I expected the story to go lol this was good. Very original. The idea of what happens to Eve is terrifying. Her anxiety was palpable.

In the acknowledgments the author mentions he got a 3 book deal so hopefully it involves a sequel and/or prequel to this book?? 🤞🏼 Cause there’s definitely alot that wasn’t answered and that could definitely be expanded upon

Okay!! I’ve had to sleep on this one because there was so much going on and I had to sort out my feelings. I love looking up author interviews which I’m feeling like this because they often help me process my thoughts better. 

This was incredibly twisty, twists inside of twists, a novel inside of a novel with the backdrop of the Mojave Desert. This book is actually based off of MK Ultra, CIA experiments conducted in the 60’s and 70’s. The experiments touched on here involve dogs so if that’s triggering for you skip this one. 

Catriona said in an interview, “a lot of the book and characterizations are like a Rorschach test in itself, who and what you’ve been led to believe is good or bad will determine what you think of the book and the people in it.” There is no one understanding of this. 

I’ll admit I was confused at the end but knowing that it’s open-ended really helped. Last House on Needless Street is still my favorite but this one is really good. 

This felt like such a dark fairytale which is exactly how it was meant to be taken I believe. Highly recommend listening to this on audio, the bridegroom’s voice is mesmerizing 🤩 Kind of wish he narrated the whole book. Funny thing was I was annoyed the POVs were everyone’s but Indigo who is the main focus of the story…but is she really?? You won’t find any answers until the end. 

This was good but there was something missing.. I wish maybe the ending was more fleshed out. It left on such a fairytale note, “and they lived..”. I did like The House of Dreams and how it was a living presence. The setting was very cool. I also liked the mention of

fairies even if I didn’t understand what kind exactly Asher/Indigo turned into 😂🤣

I am OBSESSED with this series!! I would follow Emily Wilde and Wendell Brambleby a n y w h e r e

They are easily one of my all time favorite couples (Feyre and Rhysand who??? Emily and Wendell are superior!!!). The way they have come together in this book to further their quest is nothing short of amazing. Emily is such a baddy. I love her to pieces. Her bravery and smarts are incredibly admirable. Also her undeniable love for Wendell is so damn cute to watch unfold. Their love for each other is G O A L S. The lengths they are willing to go for each other is the stuff only found in fairytales (ha! Get it?!). 

FIVE ST- no, SIX STARS! ALL THE STARS!!! The hold these characters had over me within these five hundred pages was something I haven’t felt in a long time. I was laughing, literally rolling my eyes, smiling, and tearing up a couple of times. I completely understand and agree that this book is FUCKING AMAZING. THAT ENDING?!! Are you kidding me?!!! I audibly gasped while trying to process everything else that was going on. What 👏🏼 a 👏🏼 way 👏🏼 to 👏🏼 end 👏🏼 the 👏🏼 book 👏🏼 And the dragons?!!! 🐉🐉🐉 They were the best part 🥹🥹

Violet is a fucking boss and so is Andara. Screw Aetos. I got a bad feeling about him from the beginning. Such a damn snake. Xaden and Tairn are 👑

I stayed for the writing style. Not the plot because there isn’t much that happens. The narrator interjects himself into the story quite a bit but it was in a way I’ve never seen before (even though the author even states that this is a common writing tool). This book feels like it was written recently. Not in 1935, almost 90 years!! Insane.
