3.5 ✨

Starting off by saying this book was very fast paced. I flew through it. Happy it didn't drag.

Now onto my main gripe - my aroace ass did not like the constant horny thoughts. The sex scenes were baaaaaad and I've read everything Ali Hazelwood has thrown at me. This was bad, bad. 

I did like the storyline. Loved the sassy dragons. Loved the banter with the dragons. No one told me that was gonna be so much fun. Also liked how Violet had a chronic condition for a main character that did not get magically cured.

Fun cliffhanger ending!

PS. My friend and I nicknamed this as ‘the horny book.

P.P.S. THERE'S GOING TO BE 5 OF THESE??? (overkill)

Murder mystery

Good short story. Love when authors can write a fully formed, tangible, emotional story in the span of a few pages.

Bought this completely on a whim - the cover was pretty and it was cheap for a hardcover. Best decision ever!

The story was sooo eerie. Effy was such a contradictory narrator that you couldn't tell if she was fulfilling the role of an unreliable narrator or not. I was questioning my sanity with her lol. 5 stars to Preston for not being an asshole and for being a softy.

The writing was amazing! The story inside the story was amazing. The little epigraph snippets from the in-book authors were amazing. I marked so many quotes I loved.
Going back to read the previous two works by the author.

This had such an interesting premise with the nightmares. I like ruthless girls

The starting was sooo confusing and even the middle. It really hit off after the mid way. Loved the anime illustrations so much. Highlight of the book as it illustrated my favourite scenes. Not me tearing up again near the end.
(I saw the Kimi no na wa mention in the acknowledgements coming from a mile away)

This was soooo good. Warm and fuzzy ✨

This was so cute! And relaxing. Sometimes, Tumblr recs really hit the spot. Although what was that last raven story about

So cute

This was really good. Read this without reading the graphic novels and had one hell of a time. Everyone is so stupid and precious

Good

Wait this was good. Confusing but in a good way. But feels incomplete so a full length novel would be fun.

Good

This one was good. Loved that it was about flowers, my obsession

Phew finally done. Only took 1.5 months

All I remember is that it had an Indian cast. This is the Ant man movie joke where you put the word quantum infront of everything to make it seem possible and mysterious. Very boring.

This was so meh. Highly disappointed. Didn't enjoy a single minute.

Finally, Persephone got to give Apollo a piece of her mind!

This was better than a lot of other ace rep books. Enjoyed it a lot!

Yeah this wasn't for me. This is the YA novel that Tumblr is mentioning anytime people say they don't read YA anymore. I wanted to slap Henry atleast a dozen times. Grow a backbone, dude. You're so damn annoying. You're only in love about being in love. The secondary characters were so damn good. Lola and Muz and Sadie. Everything else, a train wreck

4.5 ⭐
Trippy ending! Didn't expect that. But it was good.

Devastated! Aghast! Lying on the floor, sobbing

This book was so full of feelings. Anger, resignation, joy, love. Loved the contrast of the story starting out as an angry tale of subjugated women to ending with love and acceptance and the beauty of the people you meet in your life.

Bonus points for lesbian dragons!

3.5 stars.
Good book that talks a lot about Autism, but the plot wasn't strong enough. I liked the witches storyline, but that was it? Kinda needed the book to have a bit more plot and to be more engaging or fun.

Oh my goodness thank God it didn't become a Greek tragedy. I would've chucked it out the window! 4 solid stars as there were so many schemes and “there's always another secret” theme going on.
The middle part with the betrayal is my least favourite trope so one star less buuuut I knew what was happening all along so one star to me

Beautifully written

This book made me cry thrice so it gets 5 stars. What genius decided to read this after midnight that it hit so hard, I had to take breaks while reading.

This was so good

This was lovely. The clockworks keep popping up in every book and I still haven't read the clockwork boys. Loved how it took the original fairy tale and modified it so well. This does not end in the typical beauty and the beast fashion (we don't do that in T. Kingfisher's books). It was a bit reminiscent of the seventh bride storyline, but equally unique.

Finally reading all the ace books I've had lined up for a while. This one was good. A lot of it was what I've felt over the years. Although I did make it a point to not take any shit from others for my choices. But this was a good book with an honest ace rep.
