#juliette x rowan

[feysandfeels]

Men giving flowers: overdone, they die, not original, damages the environment, clearly not thinking of the bees, the upkeep of the arrangement can be too much, you can't defend yourself with them, you just give them to me and then what?

Men giving me daggers: sexy, thinking of my well being, encouraging me to be strong, acknowledging me being badass, appreciation of the craftsmanship, into dagger foreplay, opportunity for him to strap the dagger really up my thigh and us having a moment filled with tension.

rowan could hardly walk straight through the aquarium feeling her lips on his skin. those eight letters made a shiver fully run down his spine as he grinned. “you don’t have to worry about not having me around. i always will be... even when you’re mad at me.” their future was so uncertain, but he’d always find himself fighting to make it back to juliette. holding onto her thighs, he took his time walking to the boat as he smiled softly to himself. “i know i should apologize for being such a dick and i am sorry for taking it out of line, but... i was going crazy,” he exhaled, just the thought of seeing the guy she had been flirting with made his veins pop. forcing himself to turn and catch a glimpse of her.

If my Favorite Characters Had Instagrams

Elain : Elain would definitely post pics about what she’s cooking and baking. She would also post pics of herself out in the garden or drinking tea in the wrought iron table. She’d post pics of her tarot spread cause she likes to see things clearly ;) She’d also post pics of her man Azriel because who wouldn’t :3 (Don’t mind my Elriel agenda)

Rhysand: Rhys would keep things private. He doesn’t post about his inner circle. His account is more of a business account, specifically curated. Still he posts pics of himself flying and traveling to show his power, and pics of Feyre because he’s whipped for his wife.

Manon: She forgets she has an instagram but when she does post, she’d post pics of her thirteen, or post pics of her nails. She loves Dorian but she pretends she’s not smitten. Still she takes sneaky pics of Dorian and posts it sometimes, you know, to show off.

Aelin: Aelin just posts whatever, whenever. Photo-dumps galore. Pics of her and her friends Lysandra and Elide. Pics of food, of her dog Fleetfoot, and many, many pics of her and Rowan.

Aaron Warner: Aaron doesn’t post too many pics of his personal life. His account is basically a Juliette fan account. He’s whipped.

One of my favorite things about ya/na fantasy is probably that the maturity levels of a several hundred year old man is finally enough to match that of a 16-20 something year old woman and I honestly think that's the most realistic thing in these books.

[marvelwasmadeforthebis]

[cheriil]

forgot to mention that the only straight enemies/rivals to lovers tropes that are okay are the Folk Of The Air series, Arc Of a Scythe and The Violent Delights.

And Gnomeo and Juliet.

As requested, books / series I read in 2020 in the order I read them, with a few brief thoughts. (This took me a hot second because there are a few and also I moved cities) Should I keep a consistent goodreads? Yes I should but I didn’t think of that at the time, so bone apple teeth & sorry if I offend you abt your faves x

P.S. I can’t figure out how to do a read more on mobile so long post ahead!

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas - This is one of the most vivid published fantasy books I have ever read... I read it twice in rapid succession. The fandom POPS off. I must say I have issues with certain aspects e.g. fae lore completely ignored à la Twilight, all love interests 500+ years old and technically a different species, etc (I’m not going to deconstruct the entire series here but just know that I could... Nesta deserves better)

Cruel Prince by Holly Black - This fucking slaps, HB clearly has done her research, the lore is near immaculate, and it explores the Fae in such a unique way, tying it to the modern world subtly and seamlessly. My only qualm was that the books felt quite short; truly wish there had been more content.

Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas (6/7) - So basically I read this in one single, hyperfixated fit which meant I literally locked myself in my room for three days straight and read all six books back to back in a row from morning to the wee hours. Which is not to say it was spectacular; although it was a VERY rich world, sometimes it was too much... this felt like 6 stories in one. Ik she was young when she wrote this but it is my humble opinion that SJM needs a better editor & I personally think Rowan is a grade A asshole / straight up abusive (& personally think the ACOTAR Tamlin plot was born from that?). It’s good but not as good as ACOTAR. Skip-read the last book. 

Grishaverse (Shadow and Bone) by Leigh Bardugo (3) - This is essential to read before SOC but was very much simply a YA fantasy book, although the world was cool and the way the love plot played out was, imo, a subtle middle finger to the fantasy trope. Felt very much aimed at younger readers though? Really liked the sandwhich structure of the Proluge and Epilogue, especially in #2

Six of Crows series by Leigh Bardugo (2) - INCREDIBLE continuation of Grishaverse, better than the original series by a mile. It has the range, the diversity, the representation (the male lead is a disabled asexual and still the most cunning of the entire cast of characters), the plot is phenomenal, and it manages such a well rounded plot in only two books which means nothing is stretched out or squeezed in more than need be. Deserves all the praise it gets.

King of Scars series by Leigh Bardugo (0.5/1) - Personally I don’t consider this book canon, and while it’s nice to see the rest of Nina’s journey & the world again & everyone else, I don't like it. I will, however, be reading book 2 when it comes out, so shame on me, I suppose.

Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo (1/1) - this was incredibly cool although it went off in a completely different direction than I thought it would based off the first few chapters? One of my favourite YA-author-debuts-New-Adult novels in 2020 though!

Crescent City by Sarah J Maas (1/1) - This was supposed to be SJM/s New Adult debut, although personally I would put her other series in New Adult, and I can’t say a remarkable amount was different with this except they said “fuck” and “ass” a lot. WHY is the romantic interest 500 years old AGAIN. I just... don’t... I just don’t think it was necessary... the world was cool though, and the last half of the book was riveting, but the beginning was quite slow and I thought the sword thing was predictable. I am interested to see where this goes though.

A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab (3) - This world is so fucking cool... four Londons aka parallel universes & the one in ‘our’ world is set in industrial era London. Magic, girls dressing up as boys, thieves, pirates, royalty... it all just slaps. Schwab is an incredible writer & I was completely immersed.

Midnight Sun by SMeyer - I didn’t think anything could possibly detract even further from the Twilight story but I was sorely mistaken... seeing the stalking from Edward’s POV - and it was worse than depicted in Twilight, for the record - completely obliterated any sort of romance the first half of the original book may have portrayed. I still hold the opinion that the entire series would have been better if some kind of vampire lore had been abided by, if only to see all of the villains thwarted by someone dropping a bag of rice on the ground, forcing them to have to count them all.

An ember in the Ash by Sabaa Tahir  (3/4) - This was just a very stereotypical ya fantasy series, emphasis on the YOUNG... it wasn’t anything to write home about but I remember quite enjoying it at the time. 

The Power by Naomi Alderman - This book is FUCKING incredible and EXCEPTIONALLY thought provoking... essentially women alone develop a power of electric shock etc. and then take over the world from men, and it explores feminism and the balance between equality & tipping the scales in the other direction. Written by a friend of M.Atwood in a similar tone to handmaids tale, I would say? Content warning; there are some exceptionally graphic scenes in the latter half of the novel. 

Hamlet by Wllm Shksp - I can’t believe it took me this long to finally read it but Ophelia is my favourite name in the entire world & we love to see a woman go batshit (although she didn’t deserve that). 

Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas - this was unsettling in the best sense of the word... it was a little slow & honestly more of a concept than a big reveal, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it after I finished it? A Secret History vibes but make it blurry like the memory of all those dystopian novels you read when you were young?

The Invisible Life of Addie La Rue by V.E. Schwab - This is without a doubt my book of the year, and probably the best book I read in 2020? I stayed up all night on a friend’s couch reading it, got a book hangover and reread the ending, and then thrust it upon my mother who doesn’t usually read but read this, and loved it just as much. HIGHLY recommend and you HAVE to read it, it’s beautiful and endearing and just plain wonderful.

Captive Prince by C.S. Pacat (3/3) - I went into this knowing it was going to be terrible, because I had received a blow by blow telling me as much; although I must say that it did learn a remarkable amount of new words, the books did get better as the series went on, and it did have a rather charming ending? BIG content warning for almost everything.

Sapiens by Yuval Harari - mind-expanding & must recommend for everyone, there is everything in this and I daresay everyone should posses this kind of knowledge? I listened to it as an audiobook (which I recommend because it’s rather hearty) but will be buying this in hardcopy & rereading it with annotations. 

Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller - Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful novels I have ever read, and certainly the most beautiful portrayal of the story of Achilles and the battle of Troy I have ever seen. Patroclus deserved the justice that was given to him in this book; indeed, all of the characters were written with justice and grace. Highly recommend.

Trials of Apollo by Rick Riordan (3/5) - Apollo is my favourite Greek God, and the sexiest greek god, and Rick Riordan’s writing slaps, as always. It did pain me to see Apollo, the sexy immortal, have to be forced back into a 16 year old’s body but everything else? Whimsical & wonderful, as expected. 

These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong - a retelling of Romeo and Juliette, except it’s set in Shanghai in the 1920′s, and the protagonists already have a history. Very well done, characters are incredibly diverse in race, sexual orientation, gender, and ability / disability (and honestly, representation has never appeared so effortless and elegant). Also it includes a monster and possible magic. Incredibly underrated and highly recommend.

The Once and Future Witches by Alix. E Harrow - this was such a unique concept, and truly captivating, the story was charming, and felt like the kind of beautiful fairytale you would read as children but with more grit? ABSOLUTELY recommend this one

The Pisces by Melissa Broder - I hated this so much, not my vibe at all. Mermaid smut x therapy but make it cynical and judgemental (I know there was a moral in there but that’s not my point) also the dog dies.

Library of the Unwritten by A.J. Hackwith (1/2) - really interesting & unique concept (all unwritten novels / ideas reside in a special library that is part of Hell and then sometimes the books can come to life) however, my first thought upon reading this was “this reads as if it’s stemmed from one of those writing prompt tumblr posts” bc of the tone and whatever and as it turns out I was somewhat correct, it did stem from a short story (not bad just obvious). It did kind of settle down as it went on but I found reading it kind of a drag, and I don’t think I will read the second one.

Abandon by Meg Cabot - 1. Meg Cabot’s writing always fucking slaps 2. Hades and Persephone but make it modern & very 2000′s & somehow kind of unique 3. I literally loved this, sue me

Medusa Girls (Sweet Venom) by Tera Childs - Like Percy Jackson except they are descendants of Medusa so they are Gorgons and have fangs & venom (hence the title). Gave me very 2000′s vibes? Quite cool but tbh I found the books quite short (like two hours each, if that)? Do NOT read the GoodReads description of the book before you read it, you will spoil it for yourself.

Bring me their Hearts by Sara Wolf - In my opinion, this is one of the most underrated YA series I read in 2020. The heroine is endearing, self aware, witty, and loves to look pretty even while kicking ass which in my opinion is an incredibly underrated trait. Also, immortality without being hundreds of years old? VERY sexy. HIGHLY recommend. 

A Deal with the Elf King by Elise Kova - High commendation to be given for the fact that it is a standalone and yet manages to fit in the plot of what would usually be a full fantasy trilogy without cutting corners or being a million miles long? Also sweet storyline & beautiful ending? If you liked ACOTAR you should read this as a “what would have / could have been had SJM had a different editor” (No shade I promise).

The Iron Fae by Julie Kagawa (4/4 + novellas) - Incredibly detailed faerie set around the modern world & our current use of technology & iron in it. Very neat adventure-style series, by the time I read the last novella I was well and truly done with the world (aka provided enough content to be fulfilling). Was definitely aimed at a younger audience though, NO smut / smut was brushed over.

The Modern Faerie Tales by Holly Black (3/3 SS) - This is technically the prequel to Cruel prince, set in the modern world, but with the fae world inside it as it traditional? All I have to say is that it is excellent & I highly recommend it.

Bridgerton series (The Duke and I) by Julia Quinn (9/9) - I read this after watching the Netflix show twice through and I am obsessed, although the books were not quite as elegant as the show, and some parts that made me cringe either by their portrayal (it is very firmly set in the 19th century and thus some things are not handled with tact or grace), the characters were exceptionally loveable and I am so excited to see where the show takes them! Lovely language & an abundance of words I had never seen before (always a plus).

[dangermousie]

I am on book 5 of Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me series aka my crack, and I have to say this is probably a first time in my reading where I genuinely can’t decide whether our heroine or her love interest have more insane and abusive monster parents/childhoods. Like - this is genuinely tough. If this was real world and not post-apocalyptic dystopia, I’d recommend eternal therapy for both.

OK, so what are these about?

So glad you asked...

Shatter Me is a six book series (or actually two trilogies), the last book of which is being published March 31.

Set in a barren, impoverished, brutal world run by a coalition of military dictators called The Reestablishment, our protagonist is Juliette. In her late teens when the first book opens, Juliette has been locked up in an insane asylum and is borderline mad. She also has a terrifying power - anyone she touches suffers unimaginable pain and death.

There may be a light in her dark tunnel, however - she gets a new cellmate, Adam, who might be a former classmate and who is also somehow immune to her power. Juliette feels love and hope for the first time...

And this is where is gets (to me) good because UMMM SURPRISE PEOPLE, ADAM IS NOT HER ENDGAME OTP!!!

Sure, I can talk about how much I love the intense writing style (people really love it or hate it and I am in the former camp with a vengeance) or the plot twists or various messages or whatever.

But we all know I would be lying because the reason I am obsessed with this baby is Juliette x Warner aka epic trainwreck aka one of my all time YA OTPs aka Sarah J Maas only wishes she could switch OTPs out this well.

So, Warner.

Warning - spoiler for all five books out...

Warner is a military officer, son of the sadistic, abusive commander of the sector, Juliette’s latest minder at the start of Book 1, and so fucked up he deserves his own DSM-V volume. Warner has been torturing and killing people on behalf of the Reestablishment and by that I mean his severely abusive, gaslighting father. He yearns to be touched and tortured by Juliette. She shoots him after he confesses he loves her and this makes him love her harder. His dad was a crazy abuser but he can’t kill him so Juliette does it for him. He is immune to Juliette’s touch as well apparently (yes, there is a logical explanation) and oh yes, apparently they were childhood OTP (yes, so kdrama!) and the Reestablishment who wanted Juliette for experiments on her power had to keep wiping both of their minds over and over to keep them from remembering each other. Neither one has any idea of how families work or relationships work or normal works or how to be functional human beings. When they inevitably eventually hook up (still without remembering their past connection), it is so intense and delicious and amazing. It is a rare situation where I genuinely believe that if he didn’t have her, he’d kill himself as quickly and as efficiently as possible.

I am normally not a big fan of OTP switches or bad guy redemption into love interest but somehow this series manages this perfectly. Unlike with Sarah J Maas’ notorious tendency (I am glad Rowan was endgame in ToG series but he was the third OTP dude and don’t get me started on her Feyre trilogy otp switch), this feels organic and it makes sense. I have nothing against Adam, who I like just fine, but I spent the early books begging the author in my head to make my impossible OTP canon and by the time she did, I was a grateful, slavering fangirl. (You know I almost never uncanon ship so this should have been a hint to me.)

So anyway, hello obsession city.

Is it a good series objectively? I have no idea and I don’t care. All I know is it gives me everything I love.

PS He’s blond and has scars, of course I am in.

kara danvers x karolina dean – two glowing flying gays. what more could i possibly want in this world? this was a lovely bonus one. they are both SUNSHINE to me.
