Reading and enamored with the narration by Joel Leslie. Strong SASS required for performing as Mark, and seriousness to do our Hungarian Jonathan!
Mark is a little gem and a real person involved in this chaotic situation. I am very much into this whole Vampire Virus idea, much more than I thought at first. The world creation is just sublime and I feel there are layers of reality mixed in with the supernatural ones.

So happy to see Lesto again. Still my favorite, so I'm happy to see him posdibly get his HEA!

Quick read, but I must take a breather after the parting of lovers. With sad-fucking included which always destroys my soul.
Riley is still the best though, love how he handles every situation in his own human way.

Found this book through J. Leigh Bailey and then I saw Andrea Speed's title here "When Wolverine met Taylor" and I was SOLD.

Woohooo! About fucking time, Baz! Here I was getting tired of the melodrama, slowly heading towards a Did Not Finish, and there is delightful asshole Baz. Now can we get something interesting (outside of the Chosen one angst) happening? It is indeed cute how Snow is an adorable shmuck you just want to provoke, lil Basil. Acting like a 6 year old annoying the one he likes it seems!

Interesting characters, confusing change of POVs.
I don't trust the Mage. Seems dodgy to me.
Who the hell is David, the one (ghost) Lucy always talks about? Is it the Humdrum? Or is the Mage?

Well, instantly taken a liking to Simon, our Harry Potter in lovely, young adult version. He had me in stiches over the list of things he misses about his school. Number one being sour cherry scones. Damn, I miss the UK!

Wow... I still cannot believe the drunken affair. Respect to Allen for the maturity and acceptance of whatever the consequences may be. Bold move into this story just as the Sarrica started seeing Allen as a person.
Is this turning into Allen's harem? I hope not, but why not Poly, hmm?
Lord Tara is an amazing guy, loving him. Lesto is ... so sexily dominant I am low-key shipping him and the King!

Wow. Over 11 hours of narration by Michael Stellman. Thank all the stars in the sky I love his voice because this prose is THICK. I find myself skipping bits and just enjoying the narrator's smooth voice.
I'm a bit confused about the millions of names and languages and regions. Kudos on the slightly randomly inserted m-preg there.
Is Allen the son of his mother the queen and later raised by his aunt or what?

These characters are tridimensional and I'm loving it. Shan being hotblooded and Tir being an ice king just makes this better.

" (...) No, I won’t marry a king. I probably won’t even marry a lord; I’m not sure anyone would want me.”

“That is not true. Anyone with eyes would desire you. Anyone with a heart would want to make you his. And anyone who would dismiss you because you do not conform to meaningless manners and rituals is a fool.”

Well, damn if that isn't a beautiful way to phrase your liking for someone!

My brain works in stupid ways. Ever since I read the first sentence of this story, I have been reading Jasen as Jensen. DAMMIT, ACKLES! GET OUTTA MY MIND! (He can stay for the daydreams and occasional dreams though)

I feeli like I am reading 2 different books and my brain is working overdrive to figure out the connnection. Oddly enough, I am enjoying getting into the minds of these two different boys. Tiny is still best character though!
The opposing povs are just brilliantly put with the two completely different formats of each Will. The first one has a more traditional format and the second one kills me with no capitalization

I think I just broke something laughing at Gary punching. This is ridiculous and cannot be read in public.

I like Tiny. That's all.
Also, this narration is DA BOMB!

Still finding the trolling funny, even as we watch him slowly changing.
That first date went a bit too soon, and falling for each other already? Dude, you met TODAY!

I think this might be the first troll I actually find funny. Is that weird?
Usually I think that trolls should be neutered with rusty sissors, so this confuses me greatly.

Oh shit. This is making me care way too much about these characters. I will not cry!
Is the mysterious guard someone Jack knows? Maybe Beadle himself?

Rich setting, beautiful descriptive prose and likeable characters. Liking this so far, would love to be able to read about the defeat of the Tyrant.
Reminding me a bit of Six of Crows, another seemingly impossible mission.

Starting chapter 15 and let's see how this author ruins our characters happiness by bringing in a cockblocker sister into the mix.
Also, Hawk's moe gap, that change from meek geek to sexual beast is way too porny. This is why I like to read stories about people with normal bodies and appetites (I'm fine with large appetites regarding food haha) The USP was resolved a bit too quickly thus needing the conflict.

Ethan is funny, in an adorkable way.
"I can’t stop long though; I’ve left my zebra running.”

This is going to be fun.

Still no clue what percentage this truly is.
Chapter 13 = one big pile of WTF
I'm heartbroken and confused, what the hell is going on?

I can't stop reading! This is beautifully crafted that I almost don't want to finish it. Myfawny is a cutie, and perhaps a loophole to the generational witch business? Unless the next book will deal with m-preg (!!!)
Is Rhys the real lost prince or is he the little brother? Although, the hints at his voice lead to a morgen, is he the real Myrhydion?

Wait... in the past, the cruel seducer was in reality the human boy? Nice role reversal there!
I just want books, as in plural, about Nan. She was awesome!

This book is ridiculous! It has made me sick to my stomach when the Mother Stone story was told by Rhys. Him being compared to Alan Rickman has made the character more real than I thought. Is he a morgen in disguise? Maybe the one from the story?
My stomach is in knots right now over the loss of the book. I am now considering The Longing as a remnant from the morgen blood perhaps.

Onto Chapter 4.
The more I read, the more I find myself tangled in the stories woven around grandmother Sylvia!
Just. The. Way. I. Like. It! Interesting read indeed! The author is excellent at world-building to the point it is almost unbelievable to me how this started as a free story meant for an event!

A Welshman, a New Zealander and an American sitting at a table having afternoon tea. I'm loving this! So many characters to keep track of!
It makes me so happy to know there will be a sequel coming up!

Finished chapter 1, beginning chapter 2 with a smile on my face. Olly is a beautiful individual, having both the realistic views of how the real world works while still retaining some of his child-like imagination. This makes his denial of the strangeness of the situations in which he is even better and more real to me.

10% approximately because I am reading this online.
Why are all of Gillian's characters so charming? Olly is adorable and suffering with the grief. Also, what the hell is The Longing?
Nosy neighbor and former schoolmistress is nice and that lil girl was cute. Bit creepy but cute.
