Apparently November is Nonfiction November so I got to start off with this gem.

I want to finish this book today.

I went from really enjoying the main character to having a disdain for the character, but the story is still good.

I love a good 3rd person book that feels like the author is telling me a story. It's honestly been an amazing adventure and despite there being so many characters it doesn't disengage me from the story. Also, the comedy that is entwined worth the writing is peak. I see where a lot of fantasy gets their inspirations, but I also think about stories that may have inspired Tolkein, like King Arthur.

I needed a break from the Hobbit 😅. Bilbo vs Golem was super thrilling. The narrator did an amazing Golem impression that threw me for a loop.

This is a book that ive been wanting to read since before I got married and I got my hands on an audio book version. So should pretty easy to get through.

I am so excited to read this book. I've always heard great things and so far I have not been disappointed.

Unpopular opinion: I think Tamlin is misunderstood and deserves grace just as much as Feyre and Rhysand.

The journey continues.

I really tried to finish this one, but it's just too cringey.

Reading this book is weird. The writing makes me feel like I'm reading a Wattpad story. It's not bad, just kind of amateurish. I don't really like any of the characters. I especially don't like the main character, and it would probably be so much better if it was 3rd person, and I didnt have to hear her every thought. I find myself enjoying the parts of the story where she just talks about what's going on.

Finally!

A lot has happened. I'm almost done. Some thoughts:
- I don't really like any of the other High Lords
- Lucien's lineage I'm honestly not surprised
- Feyre is super nosy, and her priorities in regard to thinking about other people's business is whack. Maas need to just show things instead of making Feyre deduce everything.
- I don't like the twist with Mor. Makes me resent her for stringing along Azriel.

I absolutely love this meeting of the High Lord. When Tamlin finally joined! I almost threw my phone. I love the banter & the edgyness Tamlin has taken on. It's honestly hard not to side with him. When you look at it from his POV, FEYRE IS A "POWER HUNGRY WHORE" & I love it. He's not wrong for thinking what he thinks. It's hard not to question their relationship when the events of the 1st book are still fresh to me.

I just want to note that since I have the whole ACOTAR series as one book on Kindle. I can see that I am 52% done with the series, but yet I am barely halfway done with Wings and Ruin. Honestly, my favorite parts of these books are when Feyre is in danger. Honestly, most of the time, she is just lucky. She didn't plan to go down to the pit to get the thing down there to kill the Ravens.

Sarah J. Maas is a good writer. She is very aware of the actions her characters make and how it would impact the world, others, and even their own conscious. The part where Feyre just went into Lucien's mind. I hated it so much because it was wrong, but then Feyre felt guilty about it. Which was cool because she should feel that way. The moment was ruined when Rhys and her justified it after they talked it out.

Some parts in the book I'm not a fan of, but it's still a pretty interesting group of people to follow.

Been awhile since I've made an update, but I've been slowly making progress. I haven't really been interested in the book as much since I've had to wait for the council of high lords. I think I might have preferred a time skip, but it's not really Maas' style. It's just that the things that are happening aren't as interesting as the idea of all the high lords together.

Dwindy recommended me this book almost 2 years ago. Finally listening to it and it's been a fun read this far.
