Super far fetched plot, but also a thrilling weekend read. I enjoyed how everything came together in the end.

Hard DNF. I made it over 70% ish, and I just couldn't take anymore. I had high hopes bc it starts so strong. Then it just tanks. Every character is insufferable. The FMC ignores every obvious thing happening, and never speaks up. Every man is obnoxious and hates women. It got so old going in those circles. If you loved this book, I love that for you.

I normally don't like graphic audiobooks. HOWEVER, I absolutely loved this. Maybe it's because I am already so familiar with the series? Regardless, this reread with the graphic audio was so enjoyable. I loved the full cast. It gave the story so much life. As always, I love this series.

It has been so long since I've read high fantasy that I felt so dumb. I probably should have taken notes. I really enjoyed this. If you're looking for a good fantasy series this one is fantastic. The world is so well done, and the characters are phenomenal.

I don't usually read novella or individual short stories. In my defense, I started this audiobook and had no idea it was a short story. However, it was fun for a very quick read.

Vampires 🤌🏻 However, these friends annoyed me equally for entirely opposite reasons. This was quite a ride. I enjoyed this a lot. It felt very unhinged. Recommend for sure.

Well hell if that didn't keep me on the edge of my pockets. I loved the two POVs. This keeps you guessing until the end and I was yelling at the book the whole time. I love books that keep me interested and keep the pace and tension up 🤌🏻 I can't wait for her next book in January.

I'm catching up on some Netgalleys, so first off, thank you to Forever publishing for this copy!
I haven't read any romance for 8 months. This was fantastic. I have a particular love for orchestra, so it hit a soft spot for me. Also, if you say Reylo fics, I will take notes ✍🏻 speaking of notes, I have none. This was fun. Go read it.

This felt way longer than it is. This fmc, and others tbh, make so many choices that you just make you cringe. The ending was too convenient for me, and it was annoying 😒
