Iggy
absolute banger of a book. very slow however in the first part (250 pages so its quite a lot to get thru) but once u get thru it ooooo it getS CRISPY
music i listened to while reading: Majoras Mask - Oath to Order
how long to read: 8 hours give or take
Contains spoilers
really liked it but the ending was kind of disappointing
also a lot of loose ends, hat happened with julia and ingrid? the traveler iolanthe? feels like they were just kind forgotten
it was aight. lots of nonsense and dogwater immature humour. haha funny dick fuks name haha funny drunk man naked in a bush lol so hilarious. sometimes the writing reminded me of my writings from when i was 12 and im not trying to be a cunt but im serious. it had the humour of my 12 year old self so maybe i wouldve liked this then lol
more unnecessary romance but its alix e harrow shes good at that
i really liked the house though. its like a friendly haunted house which was cool. i enjoyed the monsters and i feel bad for that girl whose name i cant remember and its not mentioned in the description. i mean jesus fuck. i want a story about HER not these fucking horny teenagers opal and arthur. i LIKED arthur too til it turns out he was just ordinary guy
such a slog to get through but it got better in the end. i wouldnt recommend this to people who dont give a shit about characters lives bc thats all this is
also “love” the casual pedophilia on brandons part good job yippie
it was aight ig. all in all this trilogy was extremely boring with so much nothing happening in the middle of the book. this couldve easily been a duology or even just one book with all of the bullshit edited out
besides all the nothing i can barely comment one, i fucking HATE resurrection and that bs happens and it just immediately takes me out of the entire book its just so cheap, why kill the chara if youre just going to bring them back? either kill them or dont but dont give me this res shite
in conclusion: everything after this is better laymao
music listened to : Hidden Villege from Twilight Princess
time taken to read: 5:05:03
interesting, ill read the sequel, but WAY TOO MUCH FUCKING RAPE!!!!!! holy shit it sets red flags about the author
dear authors: please dont make your bad guys rapists and assaulters to make them more bad. i can gather that theyre bad because they killed people. signed, fucking everybody
actually enjoyed it more than i thought i would
not great but not bad
its just Ok
the fantasy aspect is found wanting and the romance wasn't great. i think this book was marketed as enemies to lovers but they were never really enemies... also kitt is better than kai anyway i fucking hate men full of themselves altho they both are kitt is less so lmfao pain
it was aight. not bad not great. fairly juvenile even for a YA book but i rather enjoyed myself reading it so i'll pick up the sequels one day
ending COMPLETELY ruined it jewell wants us to think that a 14 year old girl is capable of manipulating a 41 year old man with a WIFE AND KIDS to LEAVE his wife and kids and get with her, sleep with her, marry her, have kids with her, and stay with her. no lol . i understand that it was supposed to be a reveal that josie is a lying shit head but this is just impossible. also all of the characters acting like “what? walter wasnt a pedophile” YES. HE. IS. HE WAS NOT MANIPULATED ITS FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE HES A PEDO AND A RAPIST AND IM TIRED OF THIS SHIT
id skip this one
another great book completely annihilated by shitty romance that doesnt make any fucking sense
someone tell me why the lgbtq+ tag is on this again.... i literally read it for the gay, the the male main charas that couldve been gay, his boy turns out to be the bad guy
and the girl is VAGUELY mentioned to be bisexual. literally any lgbtq is in the side charas we dont care about. another author that felt like she needed diversity bc its 2023. sigh.
for the first time in my history of reading books, for me the ONLY interesting perspective was the child loll and her god. they were great. id prefer the book if it was just them.
Contains spoilers
well just another bad boring fae book where the fae are just hot humans. dear writers... PLEASE bring back WEIRD FAE!!! look them up!
the romance for everyone sucked ass.. it was just lust at first sight immediately.. then they are all talking wowwowow im in love with this person like?? no the fuck you aint you in love with his dick and her vagina stfu
the plot twists sucked ass rayan a half fae AND is king? seriously????
INSANELY creepy romance... Death who is immortal and has been alive since existence started, falls in love with a 19 year old girl ... i fucking hate fantasy romance sometimes. cant you cunts make the ages appropriate?
extremely fun and enjoyable but pretty predicable
ngl all the charas horny for each other annoyed the frick out of me
i also saw most of the twists coming :pensive:
but still a high rating just for enjoyment factor alone. if u like page turners or reading a book in one sitting this is for u
effy's character is written so fuckin bad and annoying ngl
the ending dragged to hell, there was no need for that extra 50 pages of explanation we didnt need that. ive never been so impatient for a book to just end.
what the hell was the sex scene? so unnecessary, not to mention they literally have a psychopath trying to kill them + a world altering storm happening + fmc almost dying of hypothermia. its giving “its only love if you have sex”
the fairy king and angharad did not need to actually exist, it was really strange and unnecessary to have them be real, and wouldve been better for them to be “fake”, especially because the fairy king dies in 2 fucking seconds
also, that random boy that asks for her number just, disappears lol? what was the point of his existence?
dont get me started on the romance... these motherfuckers are saying “i love you” 1 week into knowing each other... bruh. some things just DONT need to be a romance. you'll live. i promise.
i did really like the atmosphere but that was about it.
really short and sweet
only complaint is the usage of very aged dialect. not counting “bruh” or “sis” but rather the usage of “sus” or a character saying “OMG” out loud was ,as the kids say, fucking cringe. otherwise i liked it lol
general non spoilery thoughts: honestly, i like priory better than this lol. genuinely shannon needa lay off the pregnancy horror cause this is worse than all the actual horror books i read. i hope if she writes more books in this world, there wont be so much lol i like the world but all that shit just makes me want to die
spoilers for whole book in this review. MEGA CONTENT WARNING: pregnancy horror to the fucking max in this book ! read at ur own risk if you have any sort of phobia. i wanted to kms at some points in this book my guy
first and foremost , Siyu is literally the most useless character i have ever read in a book. holy shit. i wish she fucking died. absolutely useless and unfortunately lives( you have no idea how excited it was when i thought she died near the end bruh). there couldve been better ways to get tunava to see dreadmount erupt and (second time, SECOND, that siyu runs away) bond with canthe. if i had 3 wishes, one of them would be to rewrite this book without that shit head siyu in it :)
second, sometimes i lowkey hate medieval fiction. the law states that glorian cant offically be queen until 18, but apparently they are okay with her being married and having a child at 16. “hurry up and have children useless woman” head ass book
third , atleast with the pregnancy horror in priory we dont have to see though sabrans pov and shes actually like 29 years old. in this book, its literally throughout the entire book and two of the charas that get pregnant are fucking 16 and one of them you read the pov of. yardy know i skip the birthing scene. kill me.
last, like priory, i feel like the last battle was extremely lack luster and thats sad. i enjoyed most of the relationships, but why the fuck did she kill off dumai bruh
