Firstly I am so proud of Dani for publishing and creating this beautiful amazing story >< and I am grateful that I got to read the Arc.
Following these two lovely characters and seeing them go through their ups and downs was so magical, and the ending felt extremely satisfying. Throughout the story i had an amazing time laughing at the banter between the two and especially the younger sister >< I think she might be my favorite 0.o
This book had me in all the feels in all the best ways possible.
If you like romance or are even interested in giving it a try please please please read this book<3
This was almost a 3 but the ending really really ruined it for me. Over all though it felt kinda meh, I didn’t really find anything that stood out for me. Like it started with so much potential but the plot felt rushed and nothing I cared to much about.
One day I will learn just because there are witches / magic doesn’t mean I will enjoy the story 😔 until then I will take any book that has even a hint of witch like characters 0.o ~ this is me begging for witchy recs ><
I probably wouldn’t recommend this, but if you like cheesy smut with not to thrilling plot maybe give it a try ><
4.25
This was so freaking fun to read. It was a little dark but in such a light way that I wasn’t bothered or left in distress. I had such a great time seeing all these different perspectives not knowing how they were connected and slowly getting piece by piece bringing them all together! I don’t know if I could have guessed the ending at any point of this maybe if I was actively trying but just being along for the journey I didn’t see it coming. If this was made into a show or a movie I think it would do really well, with vibes of “what we do in the shadows” I would probably binge it ><
I would definitely recommend if the synopsis sounds interesting!!
…. Immediately after finishing I am at a lost for words. I kept seeing spoilers and all the fan theory’s so I knew how it ended was just curious as to how we got there. And I don’t feel mad at the journey. I am less mad at the end of this than iron flame which is nice because that one left me not wanting to read more but lol here I am now craving the next one ><
I think my favorite parts of the series is the personalities of the dragons and when we get to see some other perspectives and see how other riders talk to their dragons ~ I really enjoyed and appreciated that! Also the combat was one of my favorite parts of the first book and I got a lot of the same feelings reading this.
The reason I am not giving it 5 ⭐️ is cause I felt less inclined to read this one and the beginning was harder to get through, but I am excited for another book so : )
oh man~ just finishing it idk how to feel…. Like the whole story I loved and enjoyed. The ending makes me feel annoyed but nervous >< annoyed I suppose in a good way. Definitely left me needing to start onyx storm right away.
I can see why people didn’t enjoy it as much as the first but I had fun with it still and was laughing and sobbing through out so in my opinion it’s worth continuing after the first !!
I wasn’t too sure about this at first, but wow, it ended up being so good. I finished it a few hours ago, and now I just feel empty and desperately need more—good thing I already have the next one ready to go, haha!
At the start, the characters really annoyed me, but they definitely grew on me as the story went on. The combat training scenes and the dragon imagery were absolutely incredible. And the ending was an insane twist I wasn’t expecting and I can’t wait to pick the next one ><
This is well worth the hype!
While beautifully illustrated the story didn’t bring to much to the table for me. I didn’t feel connected to the characters and throughout I was only continuing for the illustrations.
I do think the story could be really good for some people, I just wasn’t who this was written for. I do think the art style is spectacular and even though I didn’t enjoy the story the illustrations left me in awe.
This is the last book in the series that I own so after this there will be no more reviews possibly~ unless I decide to get the next ones on Libby I am done here. Which I think this had an ending that I don’t care to continue further as well.
I felt this book was extremely long with a lot of fluff… this definitely could have been two books. The only thing I really enjoyed was more of Feyre and Rhys, and when Feyre is in the spring court. I hated the part with her father, I found that whole thing at the end kinda of meh. The first fighting scene I enjoyed but after that I didn’t care as much.
Over all the series is a 2 maybe a 2.5 ⭐️ rating. The second book is my favorite then this and the first one is my least favorite.
Overall, I enjoyed the story and appreciated the unique perspectives from all the characters. While the beginning felt a bit too slow for my taste, the pace improved as the story progressed. My favorite character was Reese—his character offered excellent trans representation and I really enjoyed what he brought to the story. On the other hand, I found Stella to be my least favorite and wish her character had been explored more deeply.
I didn’t rate it higher because I felt certain aspects needed more depth, and the slow start made it hard to connect with the story early on. It wasn’t until the halfway point that I really became invested.
That said, I do think this is a book worth reading, and it’s one I’ll likely reflect on for a while.
I think one of my favorite tropes is “she thinks they are rivals but he is just in love with her”.
Rating this one was really hard, like I loved the characters the plot and felt giddy the whole time reading it, and I loved everything about the story. But then thinking about how last night I was reading and was like >< I can’t read this anymore, and then it doesn’t feel right for it to go on my favorites shelf. Like I don’t feel obsessive towards the story but also I really freaking enjoyed it and would 10000% read it again!
If you are looking for a fun little story about some high school kids give this one a try!!
This is a beautifully illustrated graphic novel with a beautifully whimsical story! I thought the story very comical, a little predictable, but in all the right ways!
If you are looking for a beautiful spooky graphic novel then give this one a try ><
(I am writing this part shortly after starting it) I spent the first bit having immense Deja Vu, like literally feeling like I have read this before only to realize I have this on my iPad and started it at one point and completely forgot lol ><
(After finishing it) Wow. I will say the afterword help clear up some perspectives I was getting inklings of and really appreciated it. The writing was fantastic, the plot amazing. I really love the perspective that our main character brings and the growth she incurs throughout the story. This is definitely a story I hope to read again in the future! On the favorite shelf it goes.
I would recommend this heavily ><
To start let me just say that I read this at the wrong time, I am not into the narration style and didn’t like the main character. I felt annoyed the entire time reading it and wish there was more depth.
She brings up trauma from when she was younger but doesn’t really heal from that or give it the acknowledgement it might have deserved. It’s like it was added for one scene with Rory and then nothing was done much about it after or anything more than just a briefly explaining to him her trigger.
I can acknowledge that the ending message was good, that everything will be all right you can make it through anything, but to get to that point was painful. I would have appreciated this more years ago but where I am at now it wasn’t the book for me.
I went into this not really knowing much about it but was not really impressed.Like the twist at the end I figured out a quarter of the way through the book and the big reveal left me with questions of like “okay but why?
I didn’t really care for the characters they felt kinda flat to me and boring/ annoying~ especially the husband. And I would have liked more from the world building of the other realm. There definitely was a good chunk of the book that I was like … does this other realm exist or are they kinda crazy and not gonna lie I think I would have liked it more if it was that way.
I can see how people would like this but it just didn’t hit for me.
It has been a while since I read the first book but that was not a problem for this one, it picked up well and reminded me where we left off in the story.
I loved the writing and the plot was great as well. I definitely was able to guess what was going to happen in a lot of ways but it was nice that you couldn’t guess the ending entirely. Which this is probably what brought it down from a five star for me.
I enjoyed the first book a lot more but this was still a great time, I would definitely recommend!
Compared to the first book this one was much better, I still don’t enjoy the writing style and think there is more to be desired from the imagery. The characters in the book had a bit more depth which was nice but also some connections kinda fell flat for me. The story this one had felt more worth while than the first as well, and it actually had a somewhat good cliff hanger.
I definitely get why people like this one more, but also have heard this is people’s favorite so I am nervous for the next one.
I don’t know if this book makes the series worth it if you haven’t read any but ~ I did enjoy and find it an easy read, if you like more character depth and world building I would probably stay clear though.
I started this years ago when the hype first came but wasn’t all to into it at the time at page like 150ish. Recently though a friend picked it up and I wanted to buddy read with them which brings me to here ><
The writing felt forced / not great. The plot felt extremely predictable, the suspense at the end does give me enough drive to read the rest of the series past the next two ( only because I already own them ).
I felt no drive or excitement when reading this, and again only am gonna read the next two because I own them already.
Amazing! This was such a good addition to the first book and had me on edge the whole time of what is going to happen next and needing to get through it so I know how it ends.
Of the whole series I probably like the second book the most then the first and then this one. Mostly because I really like Harrow and Gideon, when we meet Gideon in this one though I was dying.
This whole series was amazing and I cannot wait for the next book ><
I can’t say I really liked this book but I also didn’t hate it. I think this is extremely character driven which is nice and all but I think for me as a reader I enjoy more imagery in stories like these. I am definitely more into a first person account experiencing the fantasy world, getting it from like third person feels less interesting.
Another big factor was I didn’t care at all about what was happening until like 30% and even then I felt uninterested in reading more the entire time. I thought the plot was good and the characters good but that’s kinda it. Like this book just didn’t hit.
I can definitely see why people like it though. I won’t be continuing with the series nor will I buy another Sanderson book~ he is not an author I wish to support. If it weren’t for this being my book club book I wouldn’t have read it.
I loved this so much, this was the perfect continuation of the Daughter of the Moon Goddess dyology!
The writing only gets better with this author I truly left in awe from finishing this and with for more instantly!!
If you read the first two read this right away it was amazing and such a good conclusion.
When first starting this book it was just a side read since nothing else would load on my phone while at the gym. I went into this read knowing nothing about the book and when it first switched to chobi's perspective I remember reading part of it to my sister and being like “isn't that creepy with out the context of know it's a cat” which was a fun little laugh for us. Also at the same time it reminded me of a TikTok that was like no one is going to love you the way your male cat is because of the intensity that they watch you. Having a cat I found It an enjoyable read, and seeing the cats connection with the dog too was so cute.
I found this a whole some read and would recommend this to anyone who has a cat. I found myself not always wanting to pick it up so it only got 4 stars. But the ending was my favorite part seeing the characters come together at the end warmed my heart, especially the cats realizing their wishes came true.
This was a beautifully illustrated and powerful story about a Korean-American coming of age. While I went into this hearing amazing stuff but not knowing much else I walk away in tears because of how beautiful and well told this memoir was. It was heartbreaking seeing the father want to help through out and the phone call to him at the end had me in tears. Truly a beautiful book!
I had originally started this last spring and when classes became busy I had put it down. These past few days I have picked it up again and really enjoyed seeing the relationships unfold and over time come back together in beautiful ways.
I found Sam and Sadie's friendship through the years incredibly enjoyable even when things got rough for them. This was a wonderful and painful journey to be on!
The writing is amazing, the plot is amazing, the ending amazing, everything was so freaking perfect about this book!
The entire beginning I was extremely confused and in like the last 20-30 % it was all clicking and I love when books are written like this because I makes me want to reread everything instantly ><
Low key need fanfic of some character 🫣
The first book Gideon the Ninth was amazing as was this so these are must reads in my opinion!!
