Fourth Wing (The Empyrean, #1)

Rebecca Yarros

Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders... Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant. She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise. Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom's protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret. Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die

What do people think of the name change?

I can remembering hearing discussion about how the name swapped from People We Meet in the US to You & Me for the UK edition, but I dont remember how people seemed to feel about this choice, or which they felt fit better, so I am curious! I am 75% through, and I keep going back and forth on which one I think fits better. It also just seems a slightly weird change to me...

DNF

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

🍆

I've been curious about this one for YEARS (honestly who wouldn't be, you're lying if you say you're not), and romance/spice isn't really my thing so take this DNF with a grain of salt. To clarify: I am in no way scandalized or too prude for spice (its fun! i get it!) but I just get... bored? And the things I enjoy about reading aren't usually present in these spicy romance books (great plot, complex characters, quality writing, etc). Priest was no different. You get what you come for: a priest going absolutely wild in a church with a parishioner. As a former Catholic school girl, this was deliciously hedonistic. And once I read the scandalous scenes I was so curious about, the rest of the book didn't offer enough to keep me reading. If steamy spicy romance is your thing, Priest will probably be your thing too. If not... well, it's an experience!

Priest (Priest, #1)

Sierra Simone

There are many rules a priest can't break: A priest cannot marry. A priest cannot abandon his flock. A priest cannot forsake his God. I've always been good at following rules. Until she came. My name is Tyler Anselm Bell. I'm twenty-nine years old. Six months ago, I broke my vow of celibacy on the altar of my own church, and God help me, I would do it again. I am a priest and this is my confession. Priest is a standalone, full-length novel with an HEA. For mature audiences only

I was reading this book in bed and told my husband this book gives me anxiety (I don’t have anxiety) 😂 you never know if someone is going to fall through the ice, get attacked by a bear or skid off the road.

Sometimes I think to myself “man I feel like such a negative, hateful person” when I get annoyed easily, but this girl TAKES THE CAKE. 😮‍💨 If insecurity was a person, it’s her

Kell better have a redemption moment coming cuz he’s starting to pmo. This whole allomantic manipulation of the battle between the skaa captain and rebellious skaa seems pretty low - and honestly is one of the few times in the book I’ve been like “this is completely unrealistic”. The other skaa watching aren’t skeptical?? They really think he can lend THE WHOLE ARMY his powers?? Had the rebellious skaa died, it would have been a seriously dirty trick

The Alloy of Law (Mistborn, #4)

Brandon Sanderson

Three hundred years after the events of the Mistborn trilogy, Scadrial is now on the verge of modernity, with railroads to supplement the canals, electric lighting in the streets and the homes of the wealthy, and the first steel-framed skyscrapers racing for the clouds. Kelsier, Vin, Elend, Sazed, Spook, and the rest are now part of history—or religion. Yet even as science and technology are reaching new heights, the old magics of Allomancy and Feruchemy continue to play a role in this reborn world. Out in the frontier lands known as the Roughs, they are crucial tools for the brave men and women attempting to establish order and justice. One such is Waxillium Ladrian, a rare Twinborn who can Push on metals with his Allomancy and use Feruchemy to become lighter or heavier at will. After twenty years in the Roughs, Wax has been forced by family tragedy to return to the metropolis of Elendel. Now he must reluctantly put away his guns and assume the duties and dignity incumbent upon the head of a noble house. Or so he thinks, until he learns the hard way that the mansions and elegant tree-lined streets of the city can be even more dangerous than the dusty plains of the Roughs.

This is better than the first 25%, I am a bit more into it. But I still don't enjoy the writing.

Kelsier is too reckless for my nerves 😩 first the shitshow at Kredik Shaw, now this Venture nobleman knowing WAY too much... fortune favors the bold and all, but I'm waiting for Kelsier's luck to run out

The pacing on this one is pretty slow...kind of reminds me of the pacing of My Best Friend's Exorcism where half the book none of the horror elements really kick in except the horror of the reality of unwed mothers in the '70s. Which, yes, very horrific in and of itself, but if you're gonna put Witchcraft in the title, idk, I would prefer those elements kick in faster than they are personally. Nearly halfway through the book and it's been such a minor element that it might as well not even be a thing tbh.

Ok I *think* we’re getting past the explanation of the magic system and onto the plot… as someone who is extremely directionally challenged and can hardly tell left from right, these 3D fight scenes take so much brain power for me 😩
