I love this series. Definitely one of the best fantasy series I’ve read. The story and world are immersive; I enjoyed the variety of viewpoints; the characters are so fleshed out and relatable yet exciting to follow. I was worried how it would all be wrapped up (especially getting closer to the end when it seemed like not many pages were left) but I am satisfied. Excellent writing.

So disappointing that this book is only available as an audiobook. I wasn’t even impressed with the narrator (somewhat droll and yet also ended sentences as questions with an uptick). Okay book. Very predictable. I would’ve enjoyed an epilogue during game production or post release.

Gave it a chance even though I didn’t like the first. Writing style still like bad fan fiction and just such unlikely scenarios. I read about 30% then skipped to the end for the conclusion and the book was just meh and painful for me.

Super cute with great chemistry and progression. Perfect light, romantic read! It’s somewhat refreshing to have a romance with no big drama/break up near the end.

Meh did not hit the spot. Very light and unserious for vampire book. I did not connect to the characters or plot much.

I like the story of a woman who is constantly underestimated, even by herself, and finally begins to look for more. I wish there was more reveal of her adventurous side though, maybe the siblings’ reaction to her getting a tattoo, or her opening a bookstore instead of the flower shop. I just feel like this book was good but missing the extra step.
