I might be in a reading slump. I started Vampire Labyrinth by Lili Black today and it's short enough to finish in a day but it couldn't keep me captivated. From 5th chapter I started skimming. I DNFed at 6th.

Celestial Flame. Upto chapter 26
I like Gerrik, better than I liked Deus. For a moment I was in the story again, but now I'm lost once more

Okay, so I finished Moon Trials and loved it sooooo much.
I also backtracked to Celestial Flame and am now at chapter 22 of it. I still have confusions, but the writing is good so I wanted to give it a second chance.

DNF-ed Celestial Flame at chapter 15. All she does is sleep and get into an unexplained 'trouble'. The connections she made at the camp are superficial, like why do they care about her? What truly connects them?
Anyway, ready to start Moon Trials. I know Lissa Bolts will not dissapoint.

Okay, but why do the humans have diving off the cliff lesson's strapped to an angel? Like what sort of skill set does that improve?
questions while reading Celestial Flame by Isla Starr

Oh my gosh, CELESTIAL FLAME starts with a boom. I am really excited about this one!

Bound to the Fae has short chapters so I made it to chapter nine, before I gave up on it. It felt rushed and as if essential plot points and worldbuilding was completely left out. At times even as if entire scenes were cut out. I did find the idea behind the story thrilling, but the execution didn't deliver.

Started reading Serpent & Flame, got to chapter 4 before I DNFed. The world creation didn't seem to come together in a harmony, or perhaps it was the explanations that came out rocky.

I finished Poisoned Darkness. I really liked it, but I think to really understand everything it is handy to read the Mcleod trilogy. A lot of wordbuilding was certainly explained in those books and Poisoned Darkness on it's own can seem confusing. Loved Torin's and Tierney's struggles.
