So far my interest is not super peaked, but from mixed reviews I am curious to finish the book. I picked this one due to the unreliable narrator, which is a book characteristic that I enjoy.

Please recommend me books where the male lead is similar to Lowe pls 🖤 A type of love that is more like a simmer than a combustion. Something with yearning too.

this book had me kicking my feet and biting my pillow the first time now i’m back for round 2 bc nothing hits like werewolfing, vampire tension, and THE MARRIAGE CONTRACT!!!! Lowe Moreland x yearning >>>>

I think I'm on a reader's block. A couple of weeks ago I finished with all of my college stuff and now that I have time to read my body just won't lol. The thing is I DO want to read, but instead I spend time on my phone doing nothing. Any tips, short book recs anything is welcome.

Am I missing something?

I'm at chapter 6 btw, when Roman first met the Littles and they were talking about the war at dinner.

I thought this book about anti-war slash pacifist??? (This isn't something someone said by the way, I was just sort of was under the impression it was). But, I'm not really understanding the values or morals that are supposed to be described in this book? Like, I don't get it, is being anti-Enva or anti-Dacre a bad thing? The things is, my country has always been known as a pacifist or a neutral country in terms of politics, but we never turn our backs on obvious suffering (like genocide, concentration camps, so on). So, I'm not sure what this book is trying to say? I sort of get that "not reporting what happens at the war front" = "ignorance". But, isn't like getting enthralled by magic into going to war also a bad thing???? It's because I don't sense any religious motivation from the soldiers going to war fighting against Dacre... so I'm under the impression they are enthralled....

Or is this supposed to be a nuanced conversation because not much of the truth is uncovered? I just feel like this book is sort of hard to process because gods and goddesses are treated more like ancient legend that mankind managed to conquer instead of beings they worship. So, I just find it hard to understand why would they be fighting in a war that isn't theirs? (Outside of the obvs reasons like trying to help the West borough and prevent the war getting farther East)

I’ve read VE Schwab before even though I wasn’t much of a fantasy reader. Vaguely remembered the book & writing itself was good but was pretty tiring to read. For those who’ve read it, would you recommend this to someone who isn’t much of a fantasy reader?

Genuinely interested in reading and has read her previous work before, so pls be nice!
