I have been psyching myself up for this one and have incredibly high expectations.

Now that we’ve started to get past the cringey beginning parts, it’s getting better. It is very clear so far that this book and series will be dragged out. Part One should not have taken 25% of the book. I know this isn’t a standalone and is part of a planned series, but it is exhausting when a book seems intentionally lengthened for no purpose other than filler.

I’m going to be giggling like a child during this whole thing 😭

Started 7/17/25, did not return. Marking unread.

Okay, jumping back into this after a romance genre-break

Going into this semi-blind since I do not remember the blurb. I need to decide if I’ll be continuing the series.

Haven’t read a page in a solid 2 months at least, but I like the story enough to pick it back up. The ambition is simply not here.

Starting a new book when I have like 3 others to finish…

Okay, gonna DNF at 30% because I haven’t read in over a month or so and I stopped caring about this pretty quickly after starting, anyways.

Reading this now because I need to see if I want to keep my Broken Binding editions. It sounds like an intriguing adult fantasy series so I’m hoping it’s great!

Finally reading this after 11 years. 🤞🏻

This is so good so far!

Switching back to standard edition and will just suffer with the mismatching page numbers 🙃 there are only 381 pages and the ISBN matches. Sigh.

Goodreads does not have this edition so we’re adding percents and switching to the closest page number possible.

Snagged this at the library on the new releases shelf and briefly recalled I wanted to read it. The blurb sounds promising. Really hoping I enjoy this.

So yea I’m pretty much ready to be giggling and kicking my feet and gasping in disbelief as if I didn’t know what I was getting into 🙃
Please, give me the depravity.
