Thanks to Joe Abercrombie’s “First Law” series and gritty realism being my last fantasy read, I am afraid I can’t read Romantasy the same way. Tent scenes where characters magically smell like pine instead of unwashed hair and bad breath just feel ridiculous now. 😂😂😂 god I hope that goes away

REALLY?! Doing the dirty brought her powers back 🙄🤦‍♀️ I do love this series but how ridiculous hahaha

Can’t stand MMC. What’s the “I abused, harassed, and stalked you for years because I love so much trope”? 🤢🙄🙄🙄

Listening while working and …. LOINS?! Come oooon 🤢 Lots of coercion too. This one is giving me the ick.

Corvin King narrating 🤤 hoping this is dark enough to be interesting without being too disturbing 😂

I’m not going to lie, I’m kind of missing my story having a hero or two. NONE TO BE FOUND HERE 😂 want to slap half these people upside the head.

This series is basically fantastic characters and writing of absolutely terrible people. No heroes to be found here. Just a bunch of pricks with zero self awareness that lose all character development and growth the second they get the chance 😂 how very human of them.

I love this series. Peak sarcasm and wit. Characters have catastrophic self awareness and are somehow still hilarious.

Ugh. I hate it when books aren’t free on kindle unlimited and 8274 million pages. It means I HAVE to buy the audio for when I’m sucked in and can’t read… but also HAVE to buy the kindle version so I can save my highlights while reading … and then if I’m going to spend that much, I should also buy the physical copy too and have something to show for it?!

Starting to understand why I’m broke 😂🤔

😭

“Out there, to everyone else, you’re only a victim of domestic violence if you never stood up for yourself. But the moment you do, you’re the bad guy. You’re the idiot if you stay, and you’re just as bad if you hit him back. They did convince us we were the problem. But so did the rest of the world. There’s nothing the world loves more than hating a woman.”

Duet narration w/ Teddy Hamilton at work! Yes please!

Hmmmm… great theory I think 🤔 😂

The great oaf. Why do big men tend to have such little brains? Perhaps they get by on brawn too often, and their minds dry up like plums in the sun.

Hmmmm. Be a responsible adult that has to wake up at 5 AM ORRRRR finish this book and be tired all day? 😩

😭😭😭 this is good! Nahri is one of my new favorite main characters.

Loving this series so far! 😍

Hoping this gets me out of my Romantasy specific reading slump. PLEASE don’t be cringe 🙏

Ughhhh so much snarling and growling and huffing. 😩

“I envy you, old man. I truly do. To be able to look at the living corpses of slaughtered children and declare It’s his will. To roam endless fields of shallow graves and say He loves us still. To stare into the face of brutality, unchecked, unavenged, and to excuse it all with a wave of my hand and the answer for every hard question I ever asked a holy man: The Lord moves in mysterious ways.’”

Jay Kristoff is a genius. His lyrical prose is immaculate and poetic. I’m sat. Over 100 kindle high lites and I’m not even half way done with this book.

So close to DNF’ng

Ummm. Holy $&!!!!! This is the PROLOGUE?!!! Guess I should have checked the trigger warnings 🫣

EMMETT MONTGOMERY! So excited to read about Miller's Dad. The Rhodes brothers step in Dad. Max Rhodes Grandpa. LOVE him. This book is the reason I read all the other books. An old age romance which is perfect since I am in fact, old age. haha

I didn’t plan on ugly crying on my day off but here we are. I equally parts hate and love this book.

So many books to read, so little time 🤷‍♀️
