This book feels like a really long fever dream 🫠

First time in 4 years that I’m LOWERING my book goal 😭 been sooo busy this year that reading has taken a back seat ): boooo

Finally deciding to tackle my home library TBR… 32 unread books on those shelves 😅

Oof, this is my least favorite in the series so far… 300 pages in and we’re STILL talking about the events in book 3. Literally nothing new… 🙄

Happy December!!! I am now a MASTER of English Education! 🎓📚 Woohoo! Now that grad school is done, I can get back to writing reviews (:

I’m SO happy to have discovered this author. Her writing, beautiful and haunting, makes my brain tingle. Highly recommend!!

Took until chapter 6 to intrigue me, but now here I am, 2 hours later, still reading 😂

The whole series is entertaining in a Wattpad kind of way, but after three books there’s no character development & the conflict is stagnant. Will I keep reading though? …absolutely 😅

First read in a MONTH!! I’m so behind on my goal.. 😅 kicking it into hyperdrive 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Hello. I’m drowning in work & can’t find time to read. I’m very upset. 😢 anyone have any stand alone recommendations?!

Is he family, is he not family? My God, can we just do a DNA test for every character at this point?! It would solve so many problems...

February has been my slowest reading month in a year 😭 any good recommendations to get me back on track?

It was meh until around pg 250, but the twist in chapter 86 actually had my jaw dropping!!!!! See you in an hour when I finish it 😂

I’m not feeling this one…. will probably dnf. It reminds me loosely of A Darker Shade of Magic but with the writing style of Caraval

IM OBSESSED!! Perfect for fans of throne of glass ⚔️🔥💫

“Life versus Death, Death versus Time: unintended consequences piled up - and were now pitted against each other in a ceaseless battle.”

Conceptually, this book is already a 4.5/5! I can’t believe more people haven’t discovered it yet!!

YES! A morally grey world that I am already addicted to! PLEASE BE GOOD

This is so much better than the reviews lead on! 4/5 ⭐️

4/5 so far! Definitely read this if you were obsessed with the crucible in high school. But be warned!! It can be slow at times

I wasn’t expecting a dark romance… but I’m not mad at it 🤫

SO MUCH SINGING

On a classic kick right now!! Any other recommendations? (:

Why did it take me so long to read this?! It’s so captivating!!

This would be a cool anime show

I’M ADDICTED

But why isn’t there a Goodreads for movies? They could call it Goodviews & it would help narrow down your “to watch” list. 🧐

Why are people obsessed with this series? It’s cringy, the bully trope is unappealing, and Darcy’s lack of any kind of backbone is annoying. Please explain.

Someone tell me why Greek mythology fiction is either really cool or utterly boring… 2/5 so far

Not gonna lie, I’m confused.. all I know is that Mia is an assassin & there are 3 suns, so it’s only dark once every 2 and 1/2 years. Still plan on finishing it though. The writing style reminds me of Neal Shusterman :-)

Seems like I’m in the minority here, but I don’t like this sequel as much as I did the first book. The political narrative is hard to follow & the characters feel static.
