I remember loving both King and Savannah, their first time meeting is forever seared into my brain. So I'm hoping I'll still have a strong opinion about this a second time, 2 years after originally reading it.

Reread 2026

I'm sad that i didn't know this had released back in February. I love this series so much. Don't know how I'll feel about the Aspect of Apathy, but hey, whatever Ruby wants to write, I'm jumping on that train. Bring it on!

Well this is like catnip already. 😻 A magic book, fall into another world. Villains and heros, twin sisters and twin books? Hell yes.

To say i'm angry with Hannah the FMC right now is an understatement. Ch. 25 just shows that Hannah has no idea what Love actually is. Its moments like these that make a romance fall apart. When an FMC is too busy going 'poor is me' and ditches the people that actually matter, to go wallow in their own self-importance. It doesn't matter how mad she is, she shouldn't let a man go to his death because she feels 'sad'.

When fainting is used as a plot device because we can't figure out how to navigate the passage of time any other way. This girl...I swear. My husband I joke about when characters do a lot of fainting, we call them Giles (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer). This girl is going to be getting that title at this rate. Up to chapter six and I've lost count how many times she's already 'faded to black'. Mmmhmm...

Must be the season for "fell into another world" type books. No complaints here as these types are my bread and butter! I'm so excited! I accidentally picked book 2 (The Lovers) up in B&N so I had to buy this one on Kindle so I could read them in order. Tarot based fantasy romance? Why yes, please do sign me up. 😄

Over halfway done and contemplating dropping it. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me. The world building, yes, but more so the politics, which just really seem counterproductive to this society's survival. Ex: no marriage because it led to the downfall of the world. Well, ok, HOW? We aren't told and that doesn't make sense at all, that a custom as old as time, is banned. I don't see how this would have been a thing.

So far, it's pretty dang funny and interesting. I'm loving Sir Cameron! He's very flamboyant and has an undeserved air of self importance, but in a way that makes the story entertaining. 😂

I wish FMC hadn't forgiven MMC so easily. I was forewarned of power imbalances between the two but that doesn't necessarily equate to the thoughts, feelings, and actions. If she was faking forgiveness, that's one thing, but she's genuine and I wish she had held onto her hurt and anger longer. A man who always gets his way will always expect it to be so. So don't give him the satisfaction, make him work for it.

Have to say, I absolutely hate the pet names of 'Little Wallflower' and 'Heartbreaker'. Like...nope. it's super annoying how much he calls her Little Wallflower as if that's somehow supposed to either be sexy or endearing. At least she doesn't call him Heartbreaker all that much.

I feel like we could probably wrap it up right here, but i've got something like 16 chapters left....

So much is going on in this story... 52% in, and i'm wondering, how much longer can this book possibly go on? Will she marry Jordan, is her and Vuk going to date and do a 3rd act breakup? I really don't know. 54 chapters seems a little excessive TBH.

I've been wanting to read this book for quite awhile now. It sounds soooo...good. Barely in, and i'm already loving it. :)

Listening to this on Audio, and I can't help but think Ellory Lane's French Accent is *chef's kiss*. I find it more compelling than the male narrator's accent, not that its bad, just not nearly as good as hers.
Story is pretty good. I have a hard time with things steeped heavily in religion, and while it has had its moments the dark romance side of this is balancing it out so I can handle it.

Things are finally starting to happen, but to be honest...I thought by the way book 2 ended this would be more action filled. I've also counted up to 7 povs, so i'm really not happy with the constant back and forth with every chapter. (Silla, Saga, Hekla, Rey, Jonas, Queen Signe, and Kassandar so far have POVs)

well...that prologue was quite the eye opener of what I have to look forward to...

I swear each installment adds more povs. I'm up to 6 POVs and I'm only on chapter 5. Uggggh.

i'm over here dancing for this one! I've been patiently waiting for Sloth's book, and here it is! The only sadness that i have, is that i went to Barnes and Noble a whole day too early to get this in hardcover to add to my collection. I'm hoping I fall madly in love with this, as House Sloth is all about the book lovers. :) oh, and FMC has the name Lore, how cool is that?!

At this point, I'm just wanting to see how bad the trainwreck actually is. Such a pity.

This is...chaotic. Not in a fun way either. I feel a bit like I've lost brain cells reading this. When I'm not frustrated at it, I'm bored out of my mind. I've had to skip passages because its info dump followed by nonsense. There is no grounding baseline for this.

First thoughts: it's interesting! Gothic, feminist, some religious trauma, and an interesting main Character. I'm hoping to love this. Also, my husband snagged this for me. 💜

Ok the synopsis says something along the lines of 'dumb MMC' somewhere in there, so i'm hoping he is actually a bit stupid. Like a golden retriever. He's just so sweet but gosh is he missing a few brain cells. I get the feeling i'm reading a little too much into it though. Here's to wishing!

Wow, these two are cute. I think Sophie is a total badass. I think I want to be her when I grow up. Max is just straight up fun and I personally think he has a crush on her, but i don't blame him. I think i might be in love with her already as well. There is no resisting Sophie's charm.
