I love fantasy (epic, urban, military, all of it really), romance, comedy, and the occasional bit of spookery. Raised on Mercedes Lackey, Robert Jordan, and butterfly hair clips. 🤷‍♀️

    The entire first 3rd of the book is an endless cycle of the MCs doing, saying, and thinking the same thing on repeat. I can't keep reading it. I read 7 other books over the weekend because I was avoiding this so hard. I can make it through Robert Jordan's clothing descriptions, so you know... my tolerance for unnecessary padding is pretty high. This is just that repetitive.

    This is pretty terrible. If you're thinking that I read the first book and should have known what I was getting into... fair. I thought the first one was amateur writing and the characters weren't believable. BUT, I finished it and immediately needed to know what happened next so obviously there's a kernel of excellence hidden in the plot. I hope this author keeps writing and growing and puts out something that delivers on that promise.

  • Suggestion

    A small but very helpful suggestion would be to add a ‘remember me’ to the website sign in so that we don’t have to sign in each time we go on the website.

    I 100% thought this was just a sequel but so far every character is new?!?! As a true SFF nerd, I will of course keep reading until it makes sense. 🫡
