STOP WITH THE POP CULTURE REFERENCES I BEG. I don't mind the 90s stuff, because it's relevant to their characters, but tell me whyyyy Leonie is referencing Moira Rose. This book came out in 2023. Schitts Creek stopped airing in 2020. Dawson has become so incredibly literal and on the nose with their commentary in this book in a way I don't remember from #1. Like, when Ciara is talking about how different the world is now, she says something like "Donald Trump was president, what the fuck?" And....i can't really put my finger on it but it's ANNOYING so STOP IT.

I'm annoyed, because I AM enjoying this, even if I'm struggling to pick it up right now, but as much as I'm interested in seeing where it's going, Dawson's writing has just become so...strange??? Like, Milo has just said "fuckboi" in conversation. But it was spelt like that....thats not a word, that's internet slang that would only make sense if it was texted, or an internal thought at a stretch. Fuck-boy. It's Dawson is desperately trying to a) appeal to teenagers despite this supposedly being an adult book and b) ram the themes so violently down your throat that you can't miss them. its like Dawson thinks their readers are idiots.

I just read a review of a book I'm so excited about and the person actually DNFd it bc its in 3rd person... There's this one line review that said "third person dnf" 😬 And I've seen a lot of reels and threads about how 3rd pov is difficult to understand for some readers. Which is totally valid bc if it's difficult then it ok to avoid or dnf it but saying one is superior than the other is not ok though!!! And then there's someone on threads who has posted this stats about how 86% of all the books that's sold last month are all in 1st person!!!! 😵 Please tell me about your preferences and recommend some of your favourite fantasy/romance books in 3rd person POV

so thankful to have got an arc copy of this book!! The Priory of the Orange Tree has been on my tbr for a good couple of years but I haven't got to reading it yet due to its length (800 pages💀) apparently this is a perfect place to start for those who are nervous about the series' length but still want to get into it, so yayyy!!!
