An introduction to the SciFi genre, these books are part of the cultural zeitgeist or the 'canon' that many would recognize. Look for more niche titles in later Starter Pack volumes.

Dramatic battles, tense political intrigue, unique world building...and is that maybe some romance I'm sensing? These books are not Romantasy but focus primarily on the SFF elements. Romance is a subplot and may not appear until later in the series, but when it does, you won't be disappointed.

Personally, I really enjoy dual POV when itās a love story, it adds so much to the yearning and tension. If the main POV is from the female side, I especially love getting those little glimpses into the male perspective. That said, when a book goes beyond two POVs, it often feels overwhelming to me. I havenāt seen it done well very often, sometimes itās characters I donāt really care about, or perspectives that donāt feel necessary to the story. Curious how you all feel about this - do you prefer one perspective, dual, or a whole cast of voices? Bonus points if you can share a book where the number of POVs completely ruined the reading experience.

Just as the title says. I personally feel that I am a slow reader (my speed itself is fine) due to distractions (partly my brain's fault) and life just life-ing. On average, I feel it takes me close to 2 weeks to finish a good book. 3 weeks if I'm not that into it, but still determined to finish. If I buckle down and put the world on hold as much as I am able, I can finish a book in a week ish. I just download a book that is 600 pages. Books in the 400-600+ page range, I start booking our wedding venue, because this book and I are in it for the long haul!
