I really like the format of this. I get all teh hype behind the book, because it's really engaging and all of the characters are fantastic. Really like the format, I've never read a book like this before and it super works. Audio books performers are amazing too, really brings the book to life.

I really like the framing and format of this. Mark is a fun POV character, and I find the science and setup fascinating and am really enjoying Mark's journey. Nice read so far, though a bit heavy because of the format but I've been enjoying it even thoughI can't read much at a time.

This is just a super fluffy entertaining read - deals with heavy enough topics, but with a lighter quirky spin on it. Ruby and Cricket are really entertaining characters you root for, and enjoying their joint and separate plots.

I like the book, but I wish the duel POVs between Caroline and Juliette were more evenly split. Seeing the parallels is interesting, so it being more evenly split to see how different and similar their lives are would be nice. Liking Caroline's love interest so far.

The mc is getting annoying with her lack of growth. I expect her to be further along halfway through the book. Stil a fun read though.

That was so fun! I loved the adventure, and Rhianne and Werian's romance put a big smile on my face. My favorite couple out of the ones we got so far, they're both just so vibrant, full of life, and support and love each other so much! Such a fab travel adventure, with Rhianne being an amazing MC with her lovely fae Prince by her side. So good, fantastic read!

I really liked Werian in book 1, so was excited to see the 2nd book be his story. And boy, am I not disappointed! He's such a sweet charming character with a heart of gold, and Rhianne is so practical and brave. I really enjoy them as a couple, and it's already a huge highlight of the book. Man, that Matchweaver is a piece of work though, hope the duo can set things right and find another for the role!

I really like how that ended! Phillip and Aury wound up being a super sweet couple, wasn't expecting to like them so much. They're support of each other, and equal footing and respect for each other really sold the romance for me, and the world building is awesome as always. I really like this universe, this series will be as good as Dragon's Rising was because it's just such a solid world with inventive magic.

That battle scene was epic! Nice seeing Aury use her powers to full power there. Philipp's love for Aury is so sweet, I like that we have a flip where he's madly in love with her, and she's guarded and has to find her way. Oh no for Aury though, I hope Phillip finds and saves her from the Matchweavers curse! I wasn't sold on this couple initially, but the culmination of their romance has changed my opinion, it's fab.

Aury and Phillip are both that kind of one-dimensionalish romantic couple where they are interesting enough to read, but not exactly realistic or gripping. It's a fun read, don't get me wrong, and I like seeing Aury as a character grow, but the romance just feels kind of off to me and I can't put my finger on why. I like both as individual characters, and the romance is good, but could be a bit more fleshed out.

I'm really liking this book. I think it's hilarious that Phillip is way more into Aury then she is him, even though she is attracted to him a bit. He was annoying at first, but he grows on you and is a lot of fun as a romantic lead. I really like all of the lore in this world and how it connects to the Dragon's Rising series. Aury's past is so sad, and her guarded nature understandable. I hope she can overcome it.

That was a fun read! It defs still holds up today as one of the great romance novels. By stories end, I was rooting for Darcy and Elizabeth to get together and was so happy when it happened! Glad I read this, it was a fun ride.

Ok Mr. Darcy's change of heart for Elizabeth's sake is really sweet. It was nice seeing him court her, and Elizabeth being such a derp realizing she's in love with him was well done and super cute. Lydia ugh, she's such an idiot! Wickum is just a loser too, but that all couldn't be helped. I really like how the theming of this story is so well crafted into the narrative, and how characters flip with their viewpoints.

I feel so bad for Elizabeth and her whirlwind of emotions after Darcy's confession! But at the same time, serves her right for putting upon him such a harsh light based on her pride. I hope her and Jane get to be with the men they love. Jane and Elizabeth's relationship is so sweet, it's one of the highlights of the book. I want Mr. Bingley to pop up again soon! Lydia is a hot mess, as is Kitty. Plot is really good!

I see why this book has the title it does, as the entire thing is about people either being too prideful and not showing their true selves, or making assumptions about how people really are. I find it really clever to have as a theme of a book, and it fits the characters in the book really well. I like Elizabeth and Darcy's banter even more now seeing Darcy isn't what Elizabeth is making him out to be!
