If it didn‘t feel like such an obvious and natural conclusion to this volume (despite the fact that I didn‘t guess the ending, even with all of my doubts & uncertainty in place), I‘d be really mad that this ends on a cliffhanger. I despise cliffhangers. But I love Juno Dawson‘s writing. She‘s smart, & soft, & tough in all the right ways. Her plots feel thoroughly storyboarded. I‘m eager to see where Book 3 takes us!

monalyisha P.S. I think American readers were gifted with Nicola Coughlan‘s narration because we were so disappointed that we didn‘t get it for the first book (like UK readers did). I was one of the aforementioned disappointed consumers. But then I missed Aiofe McMahon‘s reading…and it seems like I wasn‘t alone! Nicola did a fine job but Aiofe is back for the third book! I don‘t think I‘ve ever had my whims met so exactly. 😅 28m

This book is appropriately named.

The main character is gay, a werewolf and I am 3/4 into this read and it is boring!

I haven‘t bailed yet because I just keep thinking, something must be going to happen to move this storyline along … it can‘t be 100% boring the whole way to the end. 🤷‍♀️

Well. That was fantastic. I need Hadriel to be my bestie in real life. I loved Finley‘s inner monologue, and how she talks to an audience. Nyfain is not my favorite name, but I get that Welsh/Nordic/Irish etc names are super popular in romantasy right now.

Started this one today, and it's already starting out great! I love that they're already adding new spells and bits of lore.

Loved this book so much! It was a darker towards the end, but it is TOTALLY in my top 5 of this series!!

This book was an awesome retelling of Snow White, it was a little dark at times, but an overall love snd 100% would read again! 😊

Was it too long? Yes. Was I annoyed with the constant interruptions? Also yes. But would I read this again? A third yes. Listen: I love my little guys, paladins and nun-bears both, and I just want them to be happy. Istvhan and Clara both need a NAP, STAT. The ending reminded me a LOT of the Six of Crows duology (parts of both).

I‘ve had this on my TBR for so long! I‘m glad I finally picked it up. A storm singer gets caught and sold to a pirate. It‘s then an adventure of different pirates on the high-sea. Mary doesn‘t know who to trust, but is hoping a certain pirate will help her find her mom. This appears to be a trilogy. I like the way it ended, so I will most likely continue and all the books are out!

This was kind of a reread because I read it in 2018, but didn‘t remember a single thing about it. I was at the bookstore and the bookseller recommended the series to me. I didn‘t realize I had already started, so I figured I‘d start from the beginning!

This was so good! I‘m definitely going to continue this series!
