JUDE & CARDAN BANGING 😜🙏🏼 I used to pray for times like this. The scene was so satisfying tho they do have hella shit to work through if they acc wanna be in a relationship but ig we’ll ignore that… this book doesn’t feel as intriguing as the first but I still really enjoy the characters and setting. If everything comes together well by the end it will maybe still b on par with the first

This shit hits better than crack (not that I would know lmao). I see the hype. I do think the coup was a bit of a let down when it came to action sequences but Jude finding Cardan and now threatening to kill him??? INJECT IT INTO MY VEINS! I’m having so much fun reading this, and I could shower it with many more compliments but tbh I just wanna get back to reading 😝 so byeee

So happy to finally get immersed in this world, it is absolutely delivering so far. Rich with magic and a strong main character, I can definitely see how this builds up to be a well loved series. I hate Cardan with a passion cuz Jude has been through so much. I feel her desire for vengeance in myself (lol already invested) I don’t love the bully to lover pipeline but I can’t wait to see how it’ll b portrayed

After my emotional break from this book we’re so back! I enjoyed the changes made to Briseis’ storyline, was scared that would get fucked up too, but thankfully no. I don’t know if this book will end up moving me the way I was hoping it would but I still find it very entertaining.

Honestly was such a drag in the middle,
we already knew how Bunny died and then it was just the typical post death shenanigans commencing, yawn. BUT once that settled down and there was room for new developments I actually started to feel immersed. Not Charles and Camilla acc committing incest tho… EW. And honestly it’s treated quite causally in the book like wtf. No one has real reactions in this damn book

Why is almost every character insufferable in this. I get that it’s on purpose or something but idk how to put up with it. There’s such an air of entitlement. I like some of the drama but I feel like we already know that it’s going to fizzle out and not go anywhere bcs they get away with the murder? Hoping to be surprised cuz the book is so raved about but we’ll have to see.

I fear I am not smart enough for this

Sigh, this romance ended up happening way too fast. There is so much more that could have been done with the yearning and tension before their first kiss. They’d barely had any deep convos before it happened and were very quickly reduced to the horn dogs that a lot of hetero romances feature. Just bcs y’all do the deed doesn’t mean you acc know anything about the other. Will say the spicy scene was unique tho

Love thisssss!! the dialogue is superb n fun, all the added layers of Georgiana and Cat knowing each other in the past, but having very different backgrounds. I fear not that this book may eat 😼 let’s go lesbians 💯

This is actually cuter than I was expecting it to be. Good prep before I watch the show

Eating this up because I feel like it’s written in such a dynamic, fun way, and it’s quite character driven. I believed Harriet would know about her vampire abilities but apparently she doesn’t?? Also this is so heavy with lesbian undertones which I loveeeee

End my suffering bruh. This book is class up until Vampire Lucy gets killed, then it’s just a lot of yap from Van Helsing and Mina advocating for men’s rights cuz men are the best thing ever created (side eye). ofc she’s only able to appreciate them properly bcs she also has a “man” brain which is why she’s acc smart enough for them.

Can they just kill this damn dude already ffs

Mina collecting all her best friends ex men like infinity stones. This book has such good moments but still feels insanely dragged out

Impeccable writing, feels so natural and human, plus with really interesting characters and dynamics amongst them

How many damn times can Lucy almost die?? That ish was so repetitive. You’d have thought she didn’t 4 near death experiences for the dudes to realise she needs even more supervision or sumn. Van Helsing bro cmon. I wanna hear more about Renfield cuz he’s crazy but a character I didn’t hear about before and ye let’s get a bit of a move on. Surely Dracula has more plans than just to feed on Lucy.

Ok this book is genuinely good but I am reading it so damn slow because I have sm going on that I can’t get fully invested ughhh. Also I can’t wait to see the movie bcs Winona Ryder x Keanu Reeves hello??

Ok this ish has finally picked up in pace and was actually quite intriguing. Haven’t heard many depictions of vampires crawling on walls like lizards or controlling wolves so that’s new.

Finally getting around to this but ngl the amount of unnecessary info like food eaten and scenery presented is a tad annoying, idk if I’ll have the patience for this.

This book could so not be a drag but IT IS. Ugh. Also find the horniness of these characters annoying. Half of this book has been boring buildup. Plus the repetitiveness of the time travel aspect is not it. Una’s perspective was not rlly needed.

Owen is lowk an annoying MC buttt now that it’s been revealed that he’s literally being whipped through past and future on repeat, a lot of stuff makes sense. This is a very interesting format for a book, making it all feel a bit disjointed, however I appreciate the uniqueness. In the start it was also very much giving war propaganda but I’m hoping the point is that this will be dismantled slowly 🧐

This book has been v hyped up so I wanna give it a try but erm why would I care about a male protagonist 🤣🤣 kidding 🤡 I was hoping for Una’s POV but the format is different from what I was expecting and I’m lost but curious as to how things will progress into a romance.

After witnessing a gay hate crime (The song of Achilles chp 13) this book has been not only a breath of fresh air but a literal lifeline for me. I didn’t even realise it was set in Ireland like hell yeah! It’s funny and it’s endearing and it’s just the thing I needed to bring joy back into my reading. Hope we get a bit more backstory on Razi cuz he’s such a sweetie. Defo a good slow burn, love the dynamics

Absolutely disgusted and sick to my stomach, shedding tears from the discomfort. This book has suddenly done a complete 360. Wdym I just read an v explicit sex scene of Patroclus with Deideimia (done just bcs he felt bad for her?) Achilles had been compelled by a GOD to do this, but Patroclus seemed to have COMPLETE free will. Literally just a cheating scene from 1st perspective. What the actual fuck? Boutta dnf :(

The yearning built up over 6 years had me clawing at my enclosure in the best way possible omg they are so precious but I just know everything is about to go to shit and I’m honestly not ready. Certain lines clearly foreshadow the end and I’m already fucking crying atp

Oh I am about to be so insufferable about this book. Already gagged by the writing.

More straightforward than I was expecting, but also just a whole bunch of random dream sequences and Freud’s analysis of them. How can we be so sure his meanings are even correct? Feels a bit like a pseudo science but I kind of like it. Freud is lowk giving spiritual girlie, tho ik that’s not what this is supposed to be at all

Now thissss is what I call sapphic yearning. The prose is impeccable, the sci-fi, time travelling, war elements are so unique and interesting, I seriously have not read something so intricate in a while
