2024 Reading Summary

[super-jane5]

Fear the Flames by Olivia Rose Darling Book Review [SPOILERS]

This book follows Elowen Atarah, the lost Imirath princess and the current Astilian queen who was tortured as a child by her father for being bonded to five dragons. She is determined to free her dragons even if it means allying herself with Cayden Veles, the Commander of Vareveth - the most feared and dangerous man in all the kingdoms. HINT: It's a steamy romance.

The plot sounds good. However, it wasn't executed well. For starters, Cayden is the commander but doesn't need to obey the king - why not just make him a prince commander? No - because he has to have a tragic backstory. Elowen is considered the queen of a new nation - but doesn't do anything and the heist that was promised in the blurb doesn't happen until way into the book's second half. Overall the writing wasn't as good and I feel this book needed a lot of editing.

The Romance: I loved some scenes, but a lot of the romance happened off-page, meaning it felt very instant love. Moreover in the final five pages after they had confessed their feelings and gotten together the author created a conflict so the two MCs could spend the next book with more sexual tension. It came out of nowhere and was pointless.

I liked the plot even though it wasn't executed well, and I enjoyed some scenes, so I gave this book 3 stars. However, I won't be reading the next book.

My Rating: 3/5 stars

March 2023 Reads

Ok the Inner Circle has def banned Gwyn and Az from trivia nights at Rita's because as a spy and a librarian they both just Know Information so they're unstoppable when they're on the same team BUT if they get placed on separate teams they get hyper-competitive and it's A Problem

February 2023 Reading wrap up

[super-jane5]

The gwynriel weeks for 2023 starts tomorrow and guess what that means apart from the fabulous content we will be seeing .... yes you got it right toxic batflowers on overdrive

As tempting as it is reacting ... reblogging to reply and making posts to address the issue... it does draw attention to the issue... So I am just requesting Gwynriels to not react atleast till the 12th of March ... put that on the white board till the end of the event .

A lot of us have worked really hard and would love to share content with all of you and go crazy with positive interactions and that will only be possible if we avoid the toxic stuff.

I promise the event will be fabulous provided for once we ignore the rotten batflowers .

4/5 stars 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

It was enjoyable however I felt as if it was missing character relationship development.

Babel by R F Kuang

06/11/2022-18/11/2022

5/5 stars 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕

I loved this book. I don’t normally read something like this but I’m glad I did kind of hoping for a sequel.

Theogony & Works and Days by Hesiod

18/11/2022-19/11/2022

3.5 stars 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

I preferred Theogony (Ancient Greek creation myth and family tree) over Works and Days ( how you should worship the gods). It was an interesting read.

Lord of Embers by C N Crawford

19/11/2022

3.75 stars 🌕🌕🌕🌖🌑

Very predictable and a little rushed. Just an easy read.

Circe by Madeline Miller

20/11/2022-22/11/2022

4.25 stars 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌘

An interesting take on a Greek myth. Not very adventurous.
