As the title suggests, does anyone have any suggestions for romance/fantasy books written by bipoc authors? (Any genre besides the two mentioned are also welcome too!) I’ve noticed that I really am lacking books written by bipoc authors and would love for any recs to expand it even more 🌷

What do you think about people like me who reads popular books? I know we should read classic books like the ones we study in literature. But, i can't understand or enjoy reading those. I have seen many people degrading readers who read popular gen-z books?? Idk what is right? 🙃

This is the first time we get a novella in the same POV as someone before, and I love that it was Kenji. Besides Destroy Me this novella actually felt important to the overall plot of the series. I wasn’t a fan of how unhinged the characters made Kenji look. I thought all his feelings and points were valid. Him wanting Juliette present during certain events and him being the only character to care that some of their group was missing felt in line with his character but off the mark for the others.

This felt like the most intense and high stakes book in the whole series so far. It kept me locked in from start to finish.
It solidified Aaron Warner as a beautiful book boyfriend and die hard Juliette lover. Juliette has her found family in the people she has chosen to surround herself with. The people that will go to the ends of the earth to find and protect her. It was easily one of my favourite things about this one. Honestly, what would she do without Kenji!?
The Reestablishment is struggling to keep their children in check. Memory holes are being filled and the truth is making itself known. Juliette learns more and more about her place and history with the Reestablishment in every chapter. Warner is putting his love for Juliette first and fighting for a new world. While the Reestablishment has some tricks up their sleeve that I was not expecting.
Will we find out the truth about the state of the world? I’m hoping the youngings will be able to stick it to the Reestablishment and create something better for the new world. I’m expecting a massive high stakes war to unfold in the final book of the series, but how many characters will we lose in the process?
