Your reviews are always so hilarious
I've been reading this for a week and though I was the only one who was STRUGGLIN with it. Felt like I was reading a different book because OMG I can't stand any of the characters and still haven't found what is so good about this book.
i asked my wife to read your comment out aloud to me andi nearly died of laughter, dear ageless, I absolutely adore your comments. im sorry you always go through torture to bring us joy, its really appreciated!
I should’ve listened to your review before bothering to read this book myself, but I was hopeful the neat world building concept could carry a mediocre plot. But no.
Started reading the book, put it down for a week. Just picked it back up and may put it down again. There’s a whole lot of words to describe a whole lot of nothing.
Thank you for the honest review! I tried reading this book after the ARC hype on bookstagram and it was so boring and predictable. The author used way too many metaphors in every page that made it so hard to read and understand what’s going on.
I’m have way through and I keep going “mmmm that sounds like throne of glass” or “mmmm that sounds like ACOTAR” pfff and like I get fantasy books have overlapping themes but the resemblances were a little too uncanny 🤨gonna try and push through thoooo!
Not to be annoying and comment again, but for all the extreme descriptive writing, was anyone else not able to picture the setting like whatsoever? Like the wind tunnel and stuff, I was so freaking confused 😀
The "fantasy lingo" in every third sentence made it even worse, I had to jump back and forth to the glossary on my kindle. The next challenge was then to try to find the actual term as well because the glossary could never be too long and the reader is stupid and we would never be able to find out on our own what "mah" or "pah" might mean, so it’s totally reasonable to add self explanatory terms and to make us suffer 😂
Damn. I just finished this as decided to be generous and give it 4 stars but after your review I realize I was thinking about everything you brought up. I personally felt the writing style was more authentic medieval but then definitely fell apart with using modern words. It absolutely felt like a rip of of Throne of Glass. I liked the world concept but she didn’t give us much besides the basics. And the dragons should’ve been a much bigger part vs basically being like battered dogs. I’ll stick with 3 stars because I at least held out and kept reading hoping for some twist or turn I wouldn’t see coming… it didn’t happen but it’s been so hard to find anything worth reading lately I was just happy to have a book somewhat keep my interest. Glad to know I’m not alone though with all the shit I found annoying and eye rolling the whole time. Hilarious review
I've never felt so seen lol. I had SO MANY of these same thoughts. I wish I would have stumbled upon this review instead of the raving best fantasy of the year ones that lead me down this long confusing reading journey.
I loved the glossary pages. It was like being a scroll deep in the archives, doing to the work to earn the keys to the stories. It was worth it a million times over.
Oh wait, does it mean "could be a brown person, could just as well be a tanned white person"?
Also, you mentioned Mor all of a sudden, who is that?
I just recently read Fritz Leibner's Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser and Fafhrd's mom (he's a cold wasteland barbarian) is called Mor. Which mean mother in Danish.
I’m about to start reading this book but hahaha this made me laugh, I love it! Even if it turns out that I hate the book in the end, i’m so glad I got to read this review 😂😂
i didnt even bother to read it because of the very tropey synopsis. another unfortunate result of trying to pander to the booktok audience instead of writing original plots. moon dragons sound awesome, but thats where they lost me.
Sadly, I agree😭 I wanted to love this so badly because it’s being hyped so much rn😔 I love this review though it’s so funny😌
This is what I look for when reading book reviews! Thank you for saving me countless hours on this story that's already been told! :)
Listen, the girl who marketed this book as one that can stand on its own if either the fantasy or the romance was taken away is the OWNER OF THE PR COMPANY THE AUTHOR HIRED TO PROMOTE THIS BOOK
And the audacity of this same woman to say that she was being accused of doing "paid promo" by a guy on her comments section on the TikTok reel that promotes for this book baffles me.
You can like the book and hype it up on TikTok but when you get called out for doing paid promo for said viral reel about the book and to DENY it and say BookTok is in a sorry place because of real comments like that that expose you? LMFAO THE HYPOCRISY
She eve went as far as saying that her viral reel should be celebrated with the lie she just spewed XD
And oh, how I would pay for you to read any of Chloe C. Peñaranda's books, but most specially The Stars Are Dying, just to see if I would also be able to read this similar kind of review for another one of the worst SJM wannabe copycats out there XD
Thank you for saving me the time. Do they really call her Moonbeam? That makes me wanna vomit a little bit. Fire heart was hard enough to deal with. Thanks again for the review!
Gods, I laughed so much x) your review is priceless!
Although I liked the concept of this fantasy world it's blatantly obvious the writing doesn't give us enough for this said world to feel alive. Or to work in any way. We could've used some of the 'screentime' to see all the unique features there should be, instead we got Raeve going over and over again about her trauma and how she wants an emergency dick injection from Kaan.
