Screaming, crying, throwing up

If you need to explains much of your plot by having two characters sit at dinner and talk about why things are happening then maybe the book isn't that good. Just a thought.

I'm not enjoying it already but since this one is definitely the end of the series, the only way out is through. Then Sera and Nyktos can stop haunting me

Really tough read. Best sentence of the book so far is "I scanned her with my eyes". So you looked at her? Apparently she learned that one on the streets

Constant self pitying by a character drives me crazy. I understand Vel's characterization is meant for him to be anxious and second guessing but honestly the only character I like right now is his mute servant/friend. The whole first half of this book could have been made half as long if the two characters just spoke to each other

I'm trying so hard but I can't get over the fact a kid is named Ellmo in this book. Also I thought this was going to be a trilogy but nothings happening so clearly there's another book

I'm listening to this on libby and it started off great when I thought the horses name was Bob

Every couple of pages something happens to remind this woman that she is short it's getting very irritating

I'm sorry the words "sex kitten" were used 3 times in a conversation.

Sex kitten

🤢

I wish I could unread that

I take it back, Mangu is the breed of dragon, but nothing about these names I can take seriously

The author has already mixed up the name of a dragon and I'm not even that far into the book. First it's name was Grenadine, which I remember thinking "weird name for a dragon", but then later she says Mangu? I don't know if I trust these good goodreads reviews...

The book has its issues, but at the same time, this book is my Avengers endgame and I'm okay with that

It's Throne of Glass meets the Selection and it's hilarious

I'm not in the mood to read anything that requires critical thinking, and from what I've seen this will likely not disappoint

I'm sorry he just spanked his future wife as a punishment???? This book is so freaking weird

This one you really have to judge based on its time. It's a fun read but man the conversations between the male characters did not age well. Too much talk of Solfatis "requiring a husband to tame her" every man in this book gets a huge red flag🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

I'm sorry you can't just have a character murder someone in cold blood and then when it turns out they were innocent say "well he made me:(" and then try to make me feel bad for the person doing the murdering. Maybe murder isn't always the solution huh?

Can we stop writing books where women are threatened with sexual violence? I've read half of this book and all that's happened is she's sat in a cage and worry about getting raped. No wonder the author needs another book to finish the series because this one is a complete waste of time

Thr contestants got dropped off in the woods and the female MC just shot a rabbit through the eye. The hunger games parallels are getting worse the more I read

So far this is a hunger games with magical powers. I was willing to go along with the ride but once they said the contestants have interviews and a ball before the "trial" I don't know if I can make it through. It screams 2010s YA dystopia but with a broody prince with a mean dad

Screaming, crying, throwing up, crying more. potentially the best book I've ever read

This man never misses. I love this book

Might as well read it because a book popularized by tiktok has never let me down before... 😬

I'm going to tell my kids that this was harry potter

Sorry, I'm going to have to ignore every responsibility until I've finished this book because I'm emotionally destroyed and I can't physically handle it right now

Kingfisher doesn't miss, the main character is an archaeoentemologist and the details about archaeological lab work are so real it causes me physical pain I love it

Honestly better than I thought it would be, given it was widely popular on tiktok. It is odd that it is very similar to a Blake Lively movie I remember watching a long time ago

It's what I imagine Edward from twilight life was like when he went off on his personal journey deciding whether he wanted to be a murderous vampire or a fun animal eating vampire. I don't want to compare it to twilight but it's all I got

So far it's everything I hoped it would be and more. After City of Brass anything she writes became an instant buy and I'm not dissapointed

It's giving black panther if wakanda didn't know the rest of the world existed. It basically colonialism but set in a fantasy world. I think it's weird that the author wrote the spice road as an actual road. It feels like having characters get on a train to travel the underground railroad
