“Why?”
“Because you make me ravenous.”

It‘s a pick, but the first 100 pages made me contemplate DNFing- I couldn‘t keep track of where we were going, who we were going with & if we liked eachother. But it picked up, it was kind of fun but doesn‘t compare to the core Crowns of Nyaxia series. I do commend Broadbent on telling stories from this world from different angles & expansive worldbuilding.
so-soMeh idk. I really enjoyed the first book, but this follow up left me wanting. The obstacles felt fairly contrived, and Persephone seemed more reckless and fickle than anything. Her emotions were all over the place and I never felt like we got a satisfying explanation. Hades was barely present, and his actions seemed even more arbitrary and confusing. I doubt I‘ll bother going any further, which is a shame, because I really did enjoy book 1.
Ah, friends, my tiny skull and I are loving SORCERY AND SMALL MAGICS! One of the blurbs calls it Ghibliesque and this is entirely accurate. I‘m excited to wolf down the last 60 pages tonight.
In other news, I‘ve gone a week without infecting the household with my eye cold, so I figure my hand sanitization regimen is strong enough for the Real World (combined with a mask). I ventured out today and bought a TOOTHBRUSH and some FROZEN FRUIT! Whee!
bailedI can‘t. I can not. I will not. For the love of god the constant reminder that she was in HIGH SCHOOL just ruined the MMC for me and just gave me major ick.
pickI can‘t remember the last time I read a fantasy book, it‘s been so long. This one did NOT disappoint! It‘s action-packed, has vampires and humans, and an aching romance in a world where you have to be ruthless to survive.
This one caught my eye and the narrators sounded pretty good in the preview… let‘s see if it can keep my attention.
bailedThe enslavement of a main character just does not allow me to be invested in the romance. #hailthebail
Continuing a month of way too many DNF‘s 😣
