Still not as into this book as I thought I’d be. I am struggling 😩

So far I’m unimpressed by this popular book. Celaena is snobby and a whole lot of talk and no show. I wonder if this is why so many people say to not start with this book. I hope she becomes more likable.

Finally sinking back into this world. Maybe once I’m finally caught up with this series I can start Throne of Glass or Crescent City.

This one is turning into a skimmer 🥱

Here’s hoping Septimus becomes the love interest because Raihn is boring 🥱

It’s really annoying me that she hasn’t looked up information about Bens accident. I’m guessing he’s only mostly dead. Princess Bride style.

I have no clue what’s going to happen and I’m loving it.

I’m enjoying the book well enough but I’ve never been a huge fan of ‘fake dating’ and when you add in even more outright lies and ‘miscommunication’….yikes. Do not like. 😬

I should have checked into this more before starting it. I didn't realize it's a reverse harem until a good ways in. Gonna wrap this one up but probably won't continue with the series unless the ending has me beyond curious about how it continues.

I was so looking forward to Adryan’s story but I’m almost a hundred pages in and not impressed. It’s been so repetitive and nothing has happened. Adryan going over and over how he’s a psycho and feels nothing. Kayla going over and over how touch grosses her out and she’s scared of her desires. Nothing has happened! That’s it! Can we move on please? 😩

Even death can’t escape everything becoming about a baby. This is why I hate kids in romance books. Girl is ready to let all of humanity drop dead as long as the baby is fine. 🙄

I’m surprised Death instantly accepted Laz as his woman and didn’t fight it at all. I thought he found his brothers weak for choosing their women over their missions but I guess he’s more fine with it than he realizes yet.

Time on Scyros has been…interesting. I’m ready for war. Let’s get going boys.

Giving it a shot mainly because of how popular the book is. So far so meh. My knowledge of Greek mythology was small to begin with so I'm struggling a bit with the names and remembering who everybody is. Other reviewers say not to compare it with or rely on the movie Troy, but I'm definitely going to be doing that.

I’m enjoying it but now I’m feeling more angry about how mothers are treated during labor & delivery instead of feeling intrigued about the mystery unfolding.

The amount of similes in this book is ridiculous.

Been ignoring this one for a while now. I don’t like this series nearly as much as The Four Horseman series. Going to keep at it though.

6 chapters in and the damn thing already has me crying. 😭

So, I’m guessing Poppy could be Ellie’s daughter...? I don’t trust that Floyd guy. 😒

Cute so far. Kind of gives me Love, Rosie vibes.
