I'm gonna have to DNF at 45%. I might actually hate the MMC, Tyler, and I don't really care to know what happens in the rest of this book.

That said, the narrators do an amazing job, so me choosing to DNF has nothing to do with them! It is completely because the story/characters just aren't for me.

Starting my reread before book 8 comes out in may!

I'm picking up on a lot of (probable) foreshadowing, but I am still enjoying the story.
I'm listening to the Graphic Audio and just finished part one. About to start part 2.

I'm a little late to the party, but I'm listening to the Graphic Audio version while at work. I am enjoying it so far.

I binged the Heated Rivalry show (omg, so good!), and now I need to binge the book series.

Super excited to jump into this e-arc of R.L. Caulder's first tradpub book! I've been reading her Indie books for YEARS!

Boring, and I hate all of the characters.

I'm going to go ahead and DNF this at 25%/114 pgs. It's a bit too academic for me and is reading more like a textbook than a book I want to read for enjoyment.

I struggled to get into this....and my library loan expired. I might come back to it eventually.

Gonna DNF. I just cannot get into the story, and the FMC is annoying me to the point that I don't want to try.

Naming the respective worlds "Ourland" and "Theirland" seems a bit basic and lazy.

It didn't grab my attention like I thought it would from the jump, but things are moving right along now. Just a little past halfway, and I'm not quite sure what to expect.

I am struggling with getting this completed. And my library loan is due today lol
It's good, but it's just not hitting right, right now. I'm going to have to revisit this in the future.

Starting the final book in The Nighteshade Crown trilogy!

Thank you to Orbit and NetGalley for gifting me an e-arc! RTC when I'm done.

This e-arc just hit my kindle! LFG!!!!!!!
I am so beyond excited for this third book!

Pretty good so far!

However, I just got an e-arc for one of my most highly anticipated books.....so this is getting put on hold while I go devour that.

I think I just need to understand something about myself- No matter how hard I want to love them, cozy fantasies just aren't my jam.

Thank you for the e-arc, JAH! I am so excited to dive into this!!!!

This just isn't clicking for me.
DNF.

I struggled to stay interested in the first series, but figured I'd give this new spin off a try because I liked the characters when they were in the first series. Right now, I'm struggling because I'm finding Wren to be insufferable. I like Torj though! I'll keep reading to see if I get hooked.

I'm so excited to jump into this!

Thank you to Ivy Asher for the e-arc!

I am on the struggle bus with trying to finish this book. I am not feeling the relationship between the fmc and mmc. I'm to the point of skimming their interactions as I try to find plot progression.

THERE IS A "CATCH UP ON THE WORLD" SECTION!!!!! Yes, thank you, sweet angel (Jaymin Eve) for blessing us with the cliff notes catch up for book 2 *sending all the good karma your way*

I am on the struggle bus to get through this last book in the series. Loved the series previously, but this book seems like such a departure from the rest.

Yes, I'm rereading this for the 3rd or 4th time this year. Mind your business 😅
The audiobook was just released, and book 2 comes out at the end of the month!

Hate the cover and the alternate cover, but FOMO means I'm gonna read it to see what all the hype is about.

A smidgen over halfway through, and I'm still wondering why everyone is hyped over this.

Received an e-arc for review. Never read this author before.

I'm just having a hard time getting into this. I've been taking a break and reading other books. I'll come back to it.

I've heard a lot of good things about this book, time to give it a try!
