  • Not over this series 😭

    Finished the series just before Christmas, and oh my. Not over the ending, still both sad and happy about the whole thing. It's definitely a series I'll reread from the beginning in the future.

    Guys i feel like i’m getting pranked? Is the ā€˜geode’ being actually just a rock or does it actually have arms to control the ship?

    Enjoyment: 4.0Quality: 3.5Characters: 3.5Plot: 4.0

    A Forbidden Alchemy has been sitting on my shelf for a while now, and overall was a very enjoyable romantasy, so here’s a breakdown of all my thoughts while reading!

    The positives..

    • the setting was very cool! I haven’t read gangster style romantasy before and this felt really fresh and fun. (Sometimes though I imagined them not as gangsters, but The Simpsons Violet and Patches šŸ˜‚)
    • it was very fast paced and easy to read, I’m invested enough to continue this series
    • I listened to some of this via audio and thought the narrators sounded very authentic.
    • the magic system was unique to me and I would have loved it to be explained in more detail.
    • Lots of plot twists that I didn’t pick and an open ending to hook you in for book 2

    A few things that I didn’t like..

    • the time jumps, they seemed unnecessary with the way they were set out.
    • the editing (I know this shouldn’t bring a books rating down, but as a fully published book, it does annoy me slightly to see grammar/spelling errors.)
    • I felt the MMCs personality felt a bit like watching a tennis game, I did like his inner war with himself and his feelings though.
    • The main characters have a brief meeting at the start of this story, but somehow they’re acting like they are lifelong childhood friends.

    I definitely still think if you like the vibes of a gangster fantasy, this is definitely worth a read!!
