Source: NetGalley - Thank you to Orbit!TL;DR: No quest, far less world, and more sex. Not as fun for me as the first one but mileage may vary. Plot: Focuses in primarily on the forced proximity of Felix and Brie. There is a mystery added on but it's definitely not the focusCharacters: A lot of... Continue Reading →
Source: NetGalley, Thank you to the publisher!TL;DR: Slow but satisfying romance of two women helping each other (but not fixing each other), and falling in love.

Source: NetGalley - Many, many thanks to the publisher!TL;DR: A fascinating concept but the characters truly let this one down for me Plot: I really enjoyed the idea behind this one, trapped in a library due to murderous owls, but I'm not sure I'm sold on executionCharacters: Fairly flimsy? I never completely connected, either due... Continue Reading →
Source: Netgalley- Many many thanks to the publisher!TL;DR: This was incredibly readable, short, and filled with joy. There was conflict and stakes but ultimately it felt joyful. Plot: Very similar to the source material - except it focuses on Oliver and his identity as the real conflictCharacters: True to the original, though no one had... Continue Reading →
Source: NetGalley - Many thanks to the publisher!TL;DR: It's starting to get old, and we genuinely need to return to our main cast. Plot: Meanders a bit to be honest. Returning to Antsy's world, with a short stint in Stephanie's (see cover). It felt very lacking for me.Characters: Antsy is fine, and we do get... Continue Reading →
Source: NetGalley - thank to the publisher!TL;DR: Not for me, just... no thanks. Plot: Supposedly a slow burn romance between a older man and younger woman. Very... flat burn more like.Characters: Fairly flat for me, to be honest. And I didn't care for our PoV character. She was written as if she were 19, not... Continue Reading →
