Glorious Rivals (The Grandest Game, #2)

DNF @10%
Wasn't getting on with the writing. Sought out some reviews to see if things got better and found out about a lot of things (like inconsistency, plot twists that make no sense, etc) that actively annoy me. Decided I'm good on this one.

After loving book 1, I'm left a little disappointed with book 2. Not that it was bad, it wasn't. Just lacked the wow factor of the first one. I have been going into each of these with as little information possible, so I was a little surprised to have recurrent characters. But not a bad thing for who they chose to feature. A solid mystery, but I wasn't edge of my seat interested this time.

I really liked this novella as an introduction to this world and will definitely be following up with the rest of the series when it releases. It gives the vibes of the world of Tortall, particularly in Song of the Lioness or Protector of the Small, with the MM explicit component layered on top. Definitely a win for me.

Plundered Skulls and Stolen Spirits: Inside the Fight to Reclaim Native America's Culture

Admittedly, I read this as a standalone and it is book 2. But I felt like I caught up on what I missed quickly. Unfortunately, it was a will they/won't they push and pull situation that I didn't find to be overly compelling to motivate me to keep picking it up. It isn't a bad book in the slightest, but the investment just kind of skipped over me despite me recognizing that it should have been something I really liked.
