it’s two am
finally done with this reread

it was better than the first time around i think
i rated it two stars initially

but i think rn im feeling generous
bc i’ll be rating this three stars

.

forgot some things and got reacquainted with other things

the big “battle” at the skolos court seat scene

all the death and life stuff

vore
and phoenix mating

etc

nearly five hundred pages

i feel ill
still
a fever coming on maybe

i might do a lot of pausing in this reread

and bc ive forgotten the majority of this book besides that sphinx blood and the vore blood guy at the end
i think???
i recall very little
but i’m going to guess i’ll need to skim over all the excessive sex scenes

i feel like crap waking up

but decided to start on my reread list with this book

so far
i’m a few pages in
and already i feel some type of way
kind of giddy to be back in this world

ive decided not to reread the main series
it’s just so fucking long and ive reread this series at least three times now ??

although i’m already eager for book two of this spin off(?) series

more BLOODS!!!

i’m adding so many rereads to my reading list tonight

mainly bc i’m seeing new books and sequels FINALLY out

so i’ll have to reread this book before starting book two

gods
should i reread this entire series again though??? ughhhhhhhhh

this was alright
dulled by the fact that it’s just another cliffhanger ending up in the air

ugh

i liked the acknowledgement at least of vivian saying she preferred being the only female Blood of sharas
that whole thing was bothering me

i’m not satisfied in general with how this story left me
i wonder if i’ll be excited whenever the fuck the next and hopefully but unlikely, conclusion will be out

one of sharas last thoughts in this book was at least one more Blood out there waiting for her

then thierry the bird spirit is still here

🤷🏻‍♀️

don’t really care much about that new sibling alliance mayte has been trying to make

bleh

done rereading

i guess it’ll be a long ass while until the next book comes out sadly :(

rn not much in the mood to read the sun fire books

i’m so over incomplete series

i need to find a new story to dive into

The story has me hooked mostly
The execution leaves much to be desired half the time
I like it
And it’s memorable
I wish I could love it

Maybe I’ll do a rewrite

Main problems with this book
Hasn’t really changed throughout the series

Lack of editing
Repetitive sex scenes
the overuse of the word fuck
Lack of character building and relationships
Cringe dialogue most of the time
Everyone basically sounds the same

I’ve been rereading this book the last few days
After randomly getting the urge
I wish this was a complete series already

I’ll have to check my notes
I vaguely recall not enjoying this at all the first time around

But I’m enjoying it more rn
