I like books that allow me to escape. And I read a lot of really bad fiction in between. Whatever makes that incessant hamster in my head stop running around.

    Idk yall. It’s like smut-free Bridgerton with all these siblings. And while I don’t mind the closed door, I do mind the quick breeze read. I think Adam is an interesting character but I think we could have stopped reading after Seeking Persephone.

    The third book had me nervous but like I always say… dragons make everything better. I only wish some more answers about the joywood would have been answered and that we could meet more fabulae. Loved getting to know Georgie better

    It just fell flat to me. I think Jon and the employee who hacks things are interesting but the overall writing feels flat and doesn’t build up interest. I’ll probably read the rest because I want to know if anything happens with “David” but I do find Morgan so incredibly bland in a “I’m not like others” kind of way

    I mean it was fine. Ellowyn and her persnickety contrarian ways are just not my vibe. While I appreciated getting to the ascension, I also felt like it could have been… better? They squeak past and still aren’t in the clear? And all the weird side remarks about Georgie and Sage. Gee, I wonder who is breaking up in the next book.

    Cute, but short. Regency fairy story is a fun mix, but while I understand the regency “world”, I did think it fell flat on explaining why everyone was cool with magic and faeries and never explained who could do magic.

    I needed a book. It was available on Libby. It was fine.
