maiden lane is so so good and dearest rogue is TOP THREE FOR SURE ! but no one ever talks about it compared to winter's book and one other hero who i'm not sure you've gotten to yet 😭 i love how out of the box elizabeth hoyt is willing to get, even if some books naturally didn't land for me in such a large series. who are your favorites and least favorites so far? i remember reallyyyy loving phoebe's book, that winter/godric/maximus three book run was sooo elite to me, i liked eve's book a lot and the book after 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

i even kinda liked the last book even though it's up there in the most controversial of the series, i don't even remember why really. i remember not liking mickey's book as much as i thought i would, and apollo's book was a bit forgettable. but there is something so addictive about elizabeth hoyt's writing style, she is definitely one of the best hr writers !

i am loooooving all of her books! i’m going in order and just finished dearest rogue, so i’ll give you my top 3 and bottom 3 (but know that even the bottom ones are still at least four-star reads for me because she’s that good)

top:

1. scandalous desires: charming mickey o’connor the man that you are!! i also just adored silence and mary darling 🥺 sad that (so far) they haven’t had a cameo in any future books

2. dearest rogue: the build-up of phoebe’s story was so important to me, and i fully cried when she realized she couldn’t see in the sun anymore. trevillion’s arc through the whole series was also fantastic!

3. thief of shadows: winter makepeace. my man. i thought isabel’s infertility plot was handled really well, and i loved that they ended with him saying “i already have a brood of children, please raise them with me” 🥹

bottom:

1. wicked intentions: the vibes are great and i love how it sets up the world, but not that memorable to me

2. darling beast: again, enjoyable, but i found the plot to be a liiiiittle more bonkers than the others for some reason

3. notorious pleasures: mostly because of the B plot with griffin’s brother and his mistress — but i love hero and megs!

also you’re so right, the winter to godric to maximus ride is so good. godric and megs surprised me in a great way!

i’ve been tearing through these books and having SO much fun, so pls feel free to chat with me about them any time!

on the bed, on the floor, on a towel by the door, in a tub, in the car, up against the mini bar

on the bed, on the couch, bent over the kitchen counter, by the fireplace, against the wall, in the shower, on the floor, in the basement, against the window, in front of a mirror, missionary, cowgirl, doggystyle, backwards, sideways, outside, in the car, in the cabinet

[baenakinskywalker]

everyone look at her! 🍸

i am about to finish this book. 5 stars EASY!!!!!

all of elizabeth hoyt’s books have been four stars and up for me, but i think that dearest rogue may be my favorite — i started it last night and had to force myself to go to sleep.

and now, i’m having to enforce a strict time limit so i don’t sit here and read all day instead of running errands. 🥲

Oh, I can't, stop you putting roots in my dreamland. My house of stone, your ivy grows, and now I'm covered in you...

For @gwynweekofficial, @freyjas-musings, @amandapearls, and I wanted to depict one of our favorite soft ships for unlikely pairings and star-crossed connections. Gwyn and Elain are survivors in their own respective rights. They're kind, they're fiercely loyal, and they don't let the circumstances they've found themselves in define them. If any two people could also find love and healing together, it would be them.

matty_shizhniy_art did a fabulous job with this piece, and we are genuinely so grateful to have worked with them!

I really think everyone who has any feelings whatever way about any of the Archeron sisters could really help to be reminded that they are 22-26 and every other character in the series is like 500.

“Feyre committed war crimes” - Feyre was a 20 year old going through a bad breakup who girl bossed way too close to the sun. Take your Spring Court falling apart issues up with the 500 year old High Lords who watched and allowed it. If the man I thought I was going to marry at 19 had a Court I probably would’ve crashed that shit too. FRONTAL LOBE NOT YET DEVELOPED!!

“Nesta is a bitch/abusive/mean” Nesta is a teenage girl with a sister and they have all been put into horrible circumstances (reminder: Cassian physically beat Rhys up and no one calls him “abusive”) and then she is a traumatized S.A. survivor who literally died and is being constantly put in situations she is very uncomfortable with and has frankly incredibly tame reactions (I mean, it’s not like she goes around telling people they are unlovable and that everyone hates them).

“Elain is useless/boring/doesn’t do anything.” Oh so we hate Feyre for fucking shit up and we hate Nesta for being “mean” and now we also hate Elain for *checks notes* “nothing.” Elain is a girl whose entire life was turned upside down twice and she is quite literally navigating her mind no longer being entirely her own as well as a weird new bond she doesn’t understand. What do you want her to do, exactly? She picked up a knife when the situation call for it OK. Not to mention that we seriously have enough centuries old warriors taking up their swords we don’t need Elain and her rolling pin bonking the enemy now the war is over ok GOD FORBID A GIRL HAVE HOBBIES AND ENJOY THEM

Anyway thank you for coming to my ted talk on the infuriating state of misogyny in a series with a largely female fan base. Be mad at the men. They’re all insane frankly - and sometimes hot, and it’s fantasy, so it’s fine but GOOD LORD PEOPLE.
