    Hi I am looking for romance reads that do not rely on cliche plot lines or tropes to bring me back to the genre. Any recs?

    This is giving a mixture or Fourth Wing (minus the dragons) and Avatar the Last Airbender. I am liking this book but it is taking me longer to read than other books.

    Kyle

    Everytime characters like Kyle is in a book i get so annoyed and angry. I almost get surprised that someone could behave and think that way. But then i remember that literally sooo many people are like him. I forget about reality some time. far too few good people in the world

    Wish we had alternative POVs

    Usually I love a single POV book but I think this series needs some alternative POVs - especially in a world this big it would be helpful to have other viewpoints. Being in Hadrians head all the time is starting to get old. The characters shift around too fast for me to feel attached to them but I read for the characters more than the plot.

    This book put me in such a reading slump (derogatory). Everyone seems to love Sanderson, but after finishing Era 1 of the Mistborn series, I'm questioning if he's for me. I'm not a fan of his style or prose, his storylines sometimes felt stodgy, and the development of his characters is unconvincing. It took me so long to finish this installment because I kept getting bored. The only thing that kept me going was the details of the world building, which I will admit, I thoroughly enjoyed — but that's not enough. Maybe I'll come back to Sanderson someday, but for now, I'll be shelving him.

    I’m surprised at how much I really enjoyed going back to Fitz and the Fool after liveship. This book so beautifully written and character studies 15 years later are so excellent. These characters feel like a part of me
