Into the Fading Twilight (Starlight Grove, #2)

This was a simple story. It wasn't intense or deep. I wasn't "thought provoked" while reading it. In fact, in the beginning I kept planning to drop it. And yet, I couldn't.
I can't put my finger on why, but one page kept turning into two, each chapter kept growing, and I found myself reading at times I normally wouldn't.
So, I guess there was some magic here. I liked the simple prose, and the way a fantasy novel kind of also felt like a historical novel. I liked that the author uses "length" or "center" when writing sex. It felt like I was reading a new romantasy, but injected with a dose of 90s romance.
Whatever it was, it worked for me in a surprisingly unexpected way. I shall continue.

I have a question 🙋♀️ (I’m new to Reading community) I have physical copy of the book, but someday I get very busy that I cannot read it. If I listen to audiobook would it count as reading and count into the reading progress too? Btw: Nesta’s so venomous I want to choke her so bad 😅

I came into this expecting killer plants. Instead, I’m watching these characters wrestle with fear, belonging, identity, and who gets to decide who belongs. The plants almost feel like the catalyst rather than the horror itself.
One thing I’m liking so far is that no one feels completely right or completely wrong. Everyone’s morality shifts depending on what they’re trying to protect, and that feels… uncomfortably human.
The more I read, the less I think this book is asking, “What if alien plants invaded?” and the more I think it’s asking, “What do humans do when they’re forced to confront someone they see as ‘other’?” 🤷🏻♀️
