POPULAR BOOKTOK AND FANTASY ROMANCE “STAPLES” THAT DIDN’T WORK FOR ME 🫢

Not saying there's no plot whatsoever, but a lot of the story, a lot of the words in the story are dedicated to describing either how much he wants to do it with Pphanie or when he's in the process of doing it with Pphanie. And that wasn't as much for me.

I read this and I was like, "Oh, this is not my kind of writing at all."

The kind of openly lustiness that characters have in books like this one tends to not work as well for me. Not saying it can never work, but in this instance, it didn't really as much.

I think something like Gideon the Ninth has beautiful pros and then really stupid jokes and the way that it mixes really works for me.

And a lot of what wasn't working for me in the first one continued in the second one.

For example, Black Prism by Brent Weekes didn't necessarily work out for me

I think a great example of a book that leaves you in the dark for a long time is the Boneshard Daughter. And I thoroughly enjoyed that one. But at some point in that story, you start to feel really connected to the characters and you start to feel really with them as they are progressing through the plot.

This one, unfortunately, while I actually really did like the lore and I felt like the opening origin story was awesome and creative, I found that the main character was so irritating, unfortunately.
