This was amazing! Found family vibes off the charts! The characters were all so fun. The triggering stuff (while limited) was worse than I had been told
Good
Enjoyed this a lot. Wish I got to read this book when I was a lot younger. Loved the characters except Thoooom
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
This book made me realize how much I love Victoria's writing, and the characters she writes. I got a lot of vibes similar to Shades of Magic from this book, because I love that trilogy with all my heart and now this book is following in its footsteps 💕🥰
This was even cuter than the first book!
I loved this one even more, probably because it had a more elaborate storyline. Didn't think we'd get a full fledged dragon but here we are. It was nice to see more of Erik and Hese's backstory.
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.
Very intriguing!
Liked this a lot! I love robot centric sci-fi. The harvesters reminded me of the celestials. Hope I can find the next volumes. The art was coloured with water colours! Loved that!
Noooooooo!
Why do all the books end on cliffhangers?! Why would you keep doing this to me? Percheeeee
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.
Loved this book so much! The narration for all the characters was so good. The story for this was lovely. A bit sad in the beginning, but it was nice to see how Lucy did without her found family. The mystery surrounding the Problem got very interesting. Loved all the character interactions. Kipps grew on me in this one.
And we continue the tradition of ending books on jaw-dropping cliffhangers
Forgot to write a review for this.
I don't know what I just read...... This was so confusing! And I like confusing sci-fi. The research discussions between the scientists were my favourite part. Not so favourite parts were the scary things the visitors did
Yeah there's so going to be a sequel isn't there. I read this thinking it was a standalone. Don't know if I wanna read more of this mess if the author doesn't improve her story telling skills. There's no other way to put it. The writing was weak.
I wanted dragons but without all the romance like fourth wing. What I got was a lot of dragons, but with a flaky MC, the story being all over the place, Viv annoying the crap out of me, little bit of romance, no heads or tail to anything.
Please make Viv less insufferable in the next book. Marquis was great! More of him and Karim please.
Aaahhhh this damn book! I have so many complaints!!!!
* This is not like the cruel prince at all. So a prince is cruel, but only for the last hour or so. That too wasn't shocking because you advertise the book as cruel prince and then nothing happens for majority of the book. Cruel Prince had so much going for it. This was leftovers of leftovers.
* The romance sucked! It wasn't insta love but it was also not built up properly.
* This wasn't a StAnDaLOnE?!? (This one's on me).
* Who is advertising all these romantasy books? 100 years of jail for you!
* You'd expect that a book advertised as being similar to cruel prince would have similar characters like Jude or Cardan. Nope.
A knife? A single knife? Nope.
Smart and cunning MC? Nope. (Bland)
Slow romantic build-up? Nope.
The only similarity was that it had faeries. Bram was soooooo boring. Whatever Emmett and Ivy had going on was beyond my comprehension. My ass is too demi for this.
The only good thing is that the audiobook was done well, chapters were short so I flew through them.
Future me, avoid the sequel! It's not worth it gurl.
Oh God I finally finished this. The only saving grace of this book was the sprinkling of Jude and Cardan being murderous together every few chapters. I could not, for the love of God, come to care for Oak or Wren in this. And I liked the first book but thissss?!? It was soooo convoluted for 200 pages and then took off in the last part.
Please at this point just give me another Jude and Cardan book!
Audiobook was so good. I didn't realise it was the same narrator for both characters till the end.
The story was nice. The character names were horrendous! I enjoyed this a lot till I stopped listening due to no fault of the book itself.
Ok so this one was 6 years after Riyria was formed. Royce and Hadrian are on a job. Hadrian is all battered up. They have a pig farmer and a candle maker with them, who wasn't a very nice lady. Hadrian saves the day! And we figure out why Royce always says he hates dwarves in Riyria Revelations.
Favorite lines:
“Nice bedside manner, pal. Why don't you pull my cloak over my face and say something religious?”
“If I knew something religious, I'd say it.”
Good good good!
I jumped at the audiobook when I saw it had 3 narrators! For the 3 characters! There were so many Slavic folklore elements in it. It was easy to guess what Dymitr wanted from a certain someone, but the way it played out was so cool. The bonus
3.5 ⭐ The audiobook production was amazing!! Always love a full cast by recorded books!
The story is good, but my God horny thoughts. This was Fourth Wing minus dragons minus actual badly written sex scenes (phew).
I can't spell anyone's names but my favourites were Aeri and Royo! They were the most interesting. Sora too. Everybody else could jump off a cliff and I wouldn't care a bit
Freedom, AT LAST!
3 stars (above bride and ♟️ book which are my hate measurement scale).
I did laugh at some parts of this. But the only thing that kept me going is reading with my book club bestie. Still not a fan of the way she writes sex scenes or physical features or descriptions of large hands (in every freaking book).
I think this one skipped the miscommunication trope which thank the lord!
Hello to burnt out software engineers and other office workers!
This book hit the right spot at the right time. I loved all the characters. Didn't think it would be a found family book(shop) but it was so nice how everyone had things they were dealing with but still trying their best every day. Very human.
The translation was very good and didn't feel weird or clipped like some other older translations I've read. The book to read if you want to run away and open a bookshop because that's exactly what happened in this.
My first audiobook in months?! This was so engaging from the beginning, considering it starts with books and a library (and a talking plant)! It was cosy as advertised, and warm and fuzzy. Found family FTW! Would definitely recommend this as a light-hearted read with fantasy elements and good neighbours.
