END OF THE YEAR WRAP UP

I thought Margaret Rogerson's riding wasn't as lyrical and beautiful as it was in an enchantment of Ravens

the second one was one of my favorite books from this year

I very much enjoyed this trilogy I thought the end or excuse me this duology I thought the end was very satisfying I liked the ending a lot

I definitely didn't find it to be extremely captivating I didn't feel super connected to any of the characters

this was a favorite for me of this year

it was a good sci-fi story it was it was very entertaining and there's a lot of twists and turns ultimately though I think the format definitely prevented me from feeling as connected to the characters as I wanted

the third one it was good but it was a little bit of a letdown as far as what I was wanting for the conclusion of this trilogy

while it was a it was a fun reading experience it was a different reading experience from what I'm accustomed to I didn't I almost just wanted it to be a little more mainstream

the first book I found so fascinating there was definitely some tropes in it but I was captivated immediately I was so drawn in from the very first page

overall I enjoyed certain elements of the story quite a bit and then other elements not as much but I'm intrigued to pick up the sequel

the second time because I knew it was coming I enjoyed it a lot more

the first book I was so captivated by I loved it was very fast-paced

the premise was very unique and I thought it just had a strangely wholesome cozy feel to it and I really like that

while I appreciate those things I did miss some of the character moments from that first book that I really loved so much

I picked up the first one a while back and I enjoyed it by the end but it took a while for me to get into it

there were some twists and turns and intrigue in that first book but ultimately it was just okay I didn't love it but I was intrigued enough to pick up the second

I definitely think this was still a good read but I do wish I'd read Skye in the deep first

I just didn't really care for it and I feel kind of bad but I really do think it's just because it was so outside of my age range

ultimately it was a fun fairy tale kind of dark fairy tale story that ended not as dark as I was expecting I still enjoyed it

this was one of my favorites from this year I adored it

I thought this book was a lot of fun the ending was way more emotional than I was expecting

I really liked the very end I like how everything came together I do think that final book it's very chunky and I do think it could have been condensed a little bit here and there

everything was really twisted and interesting and dark and grim and I was really enjoying it and then I can't tell you why I hated the ending of course without spoiling it

loved the second one it was one of my favorites of the year there was just so much scheming

I still think that's very true but the pacing stuff for me made us so that it wasn't one of my favorites

this was an honorable mention in my favorites because I loved so much of it and then I hated the ending

it was definitely enjoyable it was definitely really fun I would read more by Michael J Sullivan there were a couple things in the story that took me out of the story

I loved exploring this world which I felt we did even more in the second book
