I don’t know how I feel about this book so far, I’m enjoying the characters to an extent, but it feels like there’s something lacklustre about them. Although I’m only at 27% so I’ll probably feel differently later. When reading Dowry of Blood I was drawn to the characters, but here it feels like going through the motions, am I missing something? I was also expecting some more parallels between this and the original Carmilla, I mean the characters are a bit more fleshed out I suppose but meh.

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.

I’m still plodding through this one, but the pacing has me in a slump 🙃 I’m just not invested in Henry and I want more Luc drama.

I'm usually not one to do something like this but I feel like there should be a space where people can get out all their feelings if they didn't like a book (or of course if you absolutely HATED it) so tell me... What's the most recent book you disliked and why? Spill the tea my friends☕️ And if you feel like it, share a book you'd recommend over reading that one! Please be civil and friendly!!

Not me finding out that everyone hates Mal and he's always been my preferred LI. This is just like Chaol all over again 🤦♀️

A collection of the pilot books for popular series, for those of us who love to follow a character's journey for as long as an author will let us! Some of the below series have heavily debated starting points and book read orders--in those cases the pilot was selected based on what seems to be the most popular approach.
