OH WOW THIS BOOK WAS INCREDIBLE!!! It took me a hot minute to fully sink my teeth into it, BUT OH MY GOSH I ADORED THIS STORY!!! All the characters were absolutely incredible!! I loved them all (except Iya and the adult Warwicks, they can go jump off a cliff) and I could hardly tell what was coming next except that Reeve and Faron would fall for each other! I loved and felt so deeply the sisterly bond Elara and Faron had, it was so real and beautiful <3. Speaking of Elara, I freaking ADORED HER!!! She is so strong, caring, and an absolutely kick butt woman!! Lastly all of the dialogue and descriptions in this book were absolutely brilliant!! I am ANXIOUSLY AWAITING THE SECOND BOOK!!!

I absolutely adored this book!! Quinn and Logan have my heart, I loved how things developed between them, how they respected each other’s boundaries, and just how freaking cute they were!! The background characters were super fun as well! I absolutely adored Quinn’s grandma and I want to be her when I’m that age!! I also absolutely adored the D&D group!! I loved the twin rep from Kashvi and Sanjiv, Mark was hilarious, and Sloane is so cool!
All of this to say, I NEED more nerdy romance to giggle and kick my feet about while wishing that were me lol!

This book means so much to me right now! At the start of the book I wasn’t really invested, but at the end of the first quarter I was HOOKED!! I fell in love with Viola, Jack, and the themes this book has!! I also really loved and needed Jack’s views on his ACL tear, because I’m going through something similar! and last but not least THE ROMANCE!?!?! I absolutely adore Vi and Jack’s relationship!! They are so good for each other!!

I read a sample of this book and thought I would never read it, months later I have AND I ADORE IT!!! Goes to show that books will find you at the right time!
I love getting lost in this dark and twisted world, I have never read a fae story before but this was amazing!Jude is so kick butt and strong, but in a very realistic way that really helped me root for her! At the start I wanted to knock Cardan’s lights out, but at the end I absolutely loved him! He’s so freaking funny and charismatic that it’s hard not to like him imo! This book was so easy and to get lost in, Holly Black has certainly earned the hype she’s been given!

Oh my gosh I ate this book up!! I picked this up because StoryGraph recommended it to me and I love the cover, safe to say that that was one of the best decisions I have ever made. This book made me laugh, blush, cry, feel called out, and reassess myself and how I views others, and I LOVED IT!! I also adore both Shirin and Ocean so much, I love how strong she was and how Ocean took the time to understand her and made sure she knew she’s loved :(. He inspired me to make sure I am like that with everyone I meet!
Definitely need more books by Tahereh Mafi in my life because I was obsessed with this book!!

My dad got this for me, and I love it but hoo boy I don’t think he knew its exact contents! 🤣 I absolutely fell in love with the banter and the characters in this book, even though a few were quite misogynistic :/ but despite that it’s also very feminist with some kick butt powerful ladies!!

This is easily one of the best books I have ever read!! One of my little brothers let me borrow his copy and I am so grateful that he did, because this is such an amazing story!! The part where Brightbill and Roz were at the robot gravesite talking about death was my favorite and it changed my brain chemistry <3

This one took me a very long time to finish 😅! I tired reading this waaaaayyy before I read The Hobbit and I think that experience influenced how long it took me to finish this! That being said, I really liked this book!! Especially the last quarter of it with Moria, Lothlórien, and The Pilars of Kings (I think that’s what it was called!)Also I freaking loved the friendships throughout this book! From the hobbit crew (I loved the conspiracy) to Gimli and Legolas, they were all so very wholesome!

OH MY GOSH THIS BOOK!!!!! I absolutely loved it!! I was hooked med from the very first sentence and it hardly ever let me go from then! At first I thought the romance between Kai and Paedyn developed too quickly, but I crushed hard on someone because of one conversation so I changed my mind after that 🤣
Is Lauren Roberts the next Tolkien? No. Does she need to be? Also no. This book was so good at what I think it was supposed to be, fun! 10/10 would read and recommend, as I now desperately need Reckless!!
