Liked

the parts with beowulf alone i have no interest in but thankfully what we mostly focused on in class are grendel and grendel's mom who are so fascinating so cool

Liked

i liked fireblood significantly less just because i thought it lost a little bit of focus it was a little bit like too much was going on we were taken to a whole other place and this one just felt a little bit too simple but i did really like it and i gave it three stars

Loved

i love the first book i gave it four stars we're following ruby who is a fire blood and she essentially gets taken captive by the evil frost king and she has to do this hunger games-esque battle in his courts against different frostbloods and i just really liked it i thought the characters were amazing

Loved

it was really well done it was such an impressive work of literary fiction because like it didn't it wasn't a work where like it just wanted to like shove the theory and the literariness like down your throat it was very much a really easily followed story that focused like 95 of the time on the actual people in these situations

Disliked

which is cool thinking about but just the actual physical experience of reading this book is a bit torturous it's quite long it's quite dry it's honestly really boring so i gave it two stars
