Liked this book better than the first, but understand why we need the character development. Things are finally coming together, and I must say i absolutely adore opie & bitzy!!

Weird twist I did not see coming. The ending felt rushed compared to the dragging up to the climax

I read some not great reviews about this book and decided to give it a try anyway, and Im glad I did! Its suspenseful but out there.

Unexpectedly, I ended up enjoying this book so much more than I anticipated. I went in blind having had it pop up in my 'recommended books' and seeing it had 4.5 stars, and now I know why.

Very philosophical, makes you think about life and hopefully leaves you feeling a little better than when you started.
The plot was predictable, kind of lost me towards the end.

Very different than first book IMO. But still worth a read, twists and turns keep you hooked. I also really liked the short chapters. I'm not sure wh, but I found myselfsayingg "one more chapter" for the whole thing

Binged this bad boy in less than 24 hours. It was so great I couldn't put it down. It's said to be an addicting psychological thriller, and I'd have to agree :)

Spicy Spicy Spice!!! This book will have you all hot and bothered. WHY CHOOSE. Ughhh. I love hockey, but you dont need to know about it to appreciate this book.
There is no audiobook as of yet, but if there was oh my God-- Id need to live in a cold shower

Nicely puts all three books together, the ending we all needed.
Didn't find it earth shattering, lt dragged on a lot. There was a lot of french dialogue; the book would probably be half the length had there not been paragraphs of french only to be translated in the next paragraph.

Saraalways731 It dragged on and on. I loved the backstories though . 10mo

This is the second book in the series. Things are still unknown, and like many other reviews I've seen, my emotions are all over the place but I am invested so on to the final book of this trilogy

There are so many unknowns with this first book I NEED to keep reading because I have no idea what's going on, theres so many secrets and things not being said. The float scene really did it for me. However, I feel like C is so young and high strung some of her "temper tantrums" are cringey. The chapters are short and well see where the rest of the trilogy takes us.

Decent standalone read. Finding happiness, dont need a man- vibes.
It's nothing earth-shattering but quick read based in 1700s and modern day.

This book reminds me of a Hallmark movie, it was decent barely any spice. Finished it quickly on a road trip... there is a good message about ones happiness it just took hours to get there.
If youre interested in a lovey dovey romance this is for you- not me.

Meh, Im hoping this book is character development & the rest of the series is better. I've seen a lot of reviews saying there's grooming? I disagree; Because of Callie's bargain/wish the "magic" separated them for 7 years. He waited all that time for her. I guess you could say. Being fae and not knowing how old he really is and her being 16 at first?ACOTAR had a similar age gap& we all loved that shit. THEYRE MATES WE ALL KNOW ITS COMING **eyeroll

This was my first novel by Stephen King... enjoyed the creepy characters and story; this book was definitely different than my typical spicy fantasy preference and felt it dragged at times.

So, it took 3 books to lead up to ONE chapter of "war" I get the character development and really enjoyed the previous books. This one felt drawn out and then quick climax and done... not a fan ? so many Gods, dieties, primals dudes have almost the same name... Its unnecessarily confusing. Overall, disappointed in this one

Definitely a lot of character development in this one, but by the end, I was completely invested. I've since started book 2 and cannot get enough. Yes there kind-of-spicy scenes, not the greatest, but... the story line is... **chefs kiss**

HOLY GODS!! This book has me SHOOK! This is an absolute nust! The ending will leave you speechless. Cannot recommend this series enough for those who liked ACOTR and TOG this is like a moderb day happy medium of the two

Loved this! Similar, but so different from other Sarah J Maas books, there's modern-day technology but ancient magic history. Also like other SJM books there are many characters and houses which can get a bit confusing at times. Typically, I can listen to an audiobook up to 1.8x speed. However, due to the amount of detail I kept it at a 1.3x and felt things werent dragging along.
Very excited for the rest of this series to be published.

Loved this book! It kept my attention throughout the whole book, leaving me anxious to get into the next.
I listened to the audiobook, and it was VERY well done. The sound effects heighten the overall experience and put you right in the scene.

HollyBahling Totally agree about the audio. The eerie music makes it a full experience 12mo

The Cruel Prince | Holly Black

Quick easy read. I'm not sure how I feel about the plot of the story yet, but I am hoping the other 2 books of the series are more exciting. I listened to the audiobook and read some on a kindle... each had some additional creative touches I hadnt experienced before (music on the audible & adorable woodland doodles on the chapter markers in the book)

Predictable and repetitive to the other books in this series. The spice is definitely there, but the story appears rushed - Not a fan of this one

I made the mistake of starting this book one evening, and COULD NOT put it down, I NEEDED to know what happened. Some may say it's predictable but, I really liked the thrill of it having not read many books in this genre. If anything, give it a try its a quick and easy read.

Zodiac Academy 8: Sorrow and Starlight | Susanne Valenti, Caroline Peckham

Definitely not my favorite of the series, this book is quite depressing (hence sorrow and starlight). Since the series is not complete we're just left hanging after 8 books and a really great story line😕

These poor twins, the story continues and I fall more in love with each of the characters which is insane considering how much I despised some of them from book one. Like the previous books, this one leaves you hanging and needing to know what's next I am hooked on this whole series.

Not my favorite, but it's absolutely necessary for story development. The longest book so far in the series bring in book 6!

If you can get past the excessive bullying and cruelty the main characters endure the story is decent, I felt it was a quick and easy read. I am excited to see what the next book brings and how the rest of the story unfolds.

Brings the whole series full circle. Like most of this series, there are many characters and a good amount of scebe hopping, made it confusing to listen via audiobook.I really enjoyed the ACOTAR series by Sarah J Maas, was hoping this would be similar but honestly I just wanted it to be over and felt it dragged on. This final book was 121 chapters too long.

Easy read to remind yourself "youre not alone" God has a plan; life is crazy, messy and there is beauty in it.
Its okay to feel out of control sometimes, youre not the only one... even if you are a weirdo who seems to have it all figured out you'd still learn something from this book.
This book is based on the belief in God but not shoving religion down your throat I swear.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

To be honest im kind of bored with this series, it is so complex as far as characters and where they come from/their back stories. I recommend really dedicating time to this series. whereas I prefer to listen to the audiobook while doing chores but feel like ive had to replay A LOT because Im lost.
Plan to stick it out for the rest of the series

Along with my previous review on books in this series, i get a bit lost in the story because there are so many characters in different places at different times, however, the last few chapters never seem to fail to keep me toed in and needing to know more.
