Welcome to Litsy!

#MotivationalMonday @Cupcake12

1) write reviews for ARCs and maybe wash the car
2) part of my balcony, the communal garden and my dirty car (pollen+Sahara sand = camouflage)
3) western Germany, it's cloudy with white fluffy clouds and some rain clouds. Wish it would rain, see 1+2 😉
4) one of the many 🙄😁

I really enjoyed most of this book. I felt like it dragged a bit in the middle, but I kept at it. Overall, I give it a solid 4⭐️. I think, if I didn‘t already have the 3rd book in the series, I‘d have been irritated at it ending in a cliffhanger. So, if you‘re invested in the story, get the 3rd book too, because you won‘t want to stop reading here.

Inspired by my current read, I painted my nails in Quinlan today. The color is this beautiful hot pink. This might be my new favorite nail polish color. #bookadjacent #inspiredbyabook

Not as engaging as the first, but the spice was good. Almost would say too much, but their chemistry just FITS. End 100 pages upended so much. Tharion and Ithan really stood out. Bryce and Hunts power needing each other is interesting and I want to know why. The emotional impact of Ruhn by the end. Now I like him. Overall, felt like a flesh out of other characters as the mains were uncovering a major mystery. What a twist!! Whole focus change #sjm

5⭐️ yes I‘m a Sarah J. Maas fan, sue me! 😁However, up until recently Throne of Glass was my favorite series. And while Manon is still one of my top-tier characters of all time, I freaking love the Crescent City series. I love all the characters, but I live for the power couple that is Bryce and Hunt. I really can‘t enough, and while I can‘t say for certain book 3 will be read by next mont, it will be read before the end of the year.

Reserved pick — even more than the first in the series, this felt a lot longer than it needed to be. The increase in POVs made it a bit much at times, and the plot(s!) was convoluted. That said, I was intrigued by the big reveal, and there still was a lot of action and mystery that kept things going. I think I need a break from SJM tho!

5/5 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕

Just finished my CC reread ready for tomorrow. So excited 😆

#crescentcity #sarahjmaas

I have some issues: did I need every side characters romantic baggage? No. Why does Maas insist on writing that the mating bond is rare? Mates everywhere. Also, multiple aliases that start with the letter H? I swear SJM herself was confused part of it. Why is booksta obsessed with Ruhn? he does literal nothing until 90% into book 2. How many times can a characters‘ “heart crack open”?
Did I like it? Sure.
Am I going to read the 3rd? Obviously.

Now that is what a second instalment of a series should be. There is action, intrigue, mystery, and of course, a healthy dose of spicy romantasy to keep you crashing through the chapters. Thank goodness the next book is out in a week or so. 5 ⭐️ read as Maas does it again, another series to become obsessed with.
