Reading sample

Listening to the audiobook - why does the narrator sound like AI? May switch to trad book to avoid the ick

Chapter 81 - wtf, I almost cried on the train this morning

Chapter 6 - audio re-read

Audio re-read

Now on Chapter 23 of my audiobook re-read. Mesmerized.

I still don't know if I like this series or if I'm still reading for the sheer entertainment factor, because I'm getting cheap sitcom/90s/early 2000s "The Matrix" vibes and I don't think that's my thing?! :D

20 euros for a Kindle book is taking the piss. I am shook. This book better be 1000 stars.

On hold until I've re-read book 1...

Gotta re-read before continuing book 2 :D

I have a feeling this is going to be a filler, a la Goldfinch... Please give us back trilogies!

I really want to DNF this book, everything I liked in book 1 has gone to shit. Feels like a repeat of what I already read, with another love interest shoved in and I am gettig Blood and Ash flashbacks, which is not helping. I'll stop if it doesn't get better beyond the halfway point.

Not sure I like the main character's voice. Does she sound a tad immature?

I think it's my favourite so far *heart eyes*

The family dinner scene was embarrassing. Hated Diem in that scene, which seems to channel a cheap "Court of Nightmare Feyre" without the grandeur. I think the switch from street urchin to palace schemer was poorly executed. Had she even worn heels once in her life before that scene? She seems awfully confident wearing a barely-there dress for someone who has spent her entire life in trousers and a healer's apron.

We all know what goes down in SJM books in the final 30%. I had to put this book down and take a breather

Can confirm that there is absolutely no sexiness so far, and a lot of anxiety to boot :D loving every second of it though

Let's see what this internet sensation is all about :D

Eliott giving me anxiety already

I am enjoying this very much. It's delivering main series energy and more!

2nd half is kinda dragging tbh

Ugh the insta-lust is annoying.

Might end here, I already find Shay super annoying. Might give it another try though.

Laura Thalassa is a queen. Such an impeccable introduction to our characters ❤

K I'm 50% in and dis shit is pretty tame. When it comes to bully romance, my take is go big or go home so not sure I'm impressed yet 🤔
