As an adult I switched mainly to ebooks, so my bookshelf is mostly full of the book loves of my youth. My hope is to find hard copies of my current favorite and GAWDS TIER book series to fill in the gaps. These are (in no order) the Lady of Darkness series by Melissa K Roehrich, and the Blood and Ash series with the Flesh and Fire companion series by Jennifer L Armentrout. 📚❤️
So I‘ve been having a really rough start to 2025. This led to my doing a reread of The Bonds That Tie series. I honestly really love the magic of this world and the concept of bonds. Plus the direction this series takes is so well done, especially with the discussions on trauma. That being said, I will acknowledge that it‘s not everyone and the ending falls a little flat. Other than that, I still had a blast.

I‘m still so impressed with the use of place in this book and how it shaped everything Brexley is coming to terms with. I absolutely loving getting introduced to characters we see so much more throughout this book and just seeing how many of these friendships start out as is everything. I‘m loving my reread and the tension in the relationship is absolutely delicious.

I really value the conversations on prejudice, especially knowing how vital some of these character become. I also liked seeing the hints of things to come and the development of certain relationships (love and friendship ones) that we‘ll appreciate more as the series goes on. I spend through this just as quickly as I did the first time and it‘s good to know the reread value is there for this series!

This one was a bit different from the first book. Focused a lot more on the world building and plot which I appreciated. At the same type, there are a lot of major similarities to Throne of Glass/ACOTAR which can make it predictable. I‘m intrigued enough though to still want to learn about what happens next. Plus, the relationship in this one is great!

So I got the first two books in this series in my #ArcaneSociety subscription and instantly had to start the first book after seeing the covers. I absolutely loved it and devoured it in a day. The banter is amazing and the magic system and gods are intriguing. Immediately started the next one.
