FEBRUARY WRAP UP

the first two books I have mentioned them quite a lot in recommendation videos and I usually describe them as incredibly trophy but entertaining and there's a morbid premise and there's some violence but man is that a page-turner

the conclusion to the trilogy I thought was phenomenal and man it's it knocked it out of the park

the second one starting to open up more which also means we're starting to get other perspectives one of which so far I don't care about and I kind of just want to stick to the characters from the first one for the same time I'm excited about the world opening up

the book was fairly atmospheric and you only really get glimpses of the potential I think for the world building in this world there's a decent amount of it but you only scratch the surface

even though it was cute and it definitely played around with the way fandoms can affect our lives there was also some pretty heavy things that would occur and there are some pretty good moments with a decent amount of depth that I was not expecting

I always had a good time reading the first two I wouldn't say I thought there was tons and tons and tons of tips in the first two but the third one changed that

I still really enjoy them I think they're a great entry into the fantasy genre I also think that it is a young adult story so for younger people who are wanting to get into fantasy I think it's a great start

I wasn't sure I was like man did I just have lower expectations back in the day I'm gonna pick these up and I'm am I gonna hate them and I have not I've been pleasantly surprised I still really enjoy them

I mentioned in a vlog that this story is confusing me because the writing feels very youthful which makes sense because it's young at all but young at all is confusing in that it's such a random range of maturity levels

I am really liking it and I think the author has a way of exploring these characters with such nuance and they are so complex and the relationships across the board are really complicated but it's so slow

I really liked the beginning a lot but as the story progressed things felt more and more random I didn't feel like a lot of the intense scenes were as intense as they could have been because things weren't really foreshadowed

we'll start with vengeful and this particular book I was so thrilled with it

in the first book you have this really cool set up where you don't really know why they hate each other because you get glimpses of them in the past when they were best friends and then now they want to kill each other and you don't know why and it's not just past and present it's just a totally scattered timeline and it's really fun to try to piece together how everything is going to eventually click
