I'm going to do the book Beatrix. This is just the book that got me back into reading as an adult, so I feel like it could be really cool to bedazzle and display.

Shield of Sparrows, the first book in the series, is a slow burn romanticy, involves a prince, a monster hunter, she's a princess, and I gave it five stars. It was one of my favorite books that I read last year, so I'm so excited to start the sequel.

I think she did a fantastic job on writing about really complex characters who are going through really complex things individually in their personal lives and then also with each other. I think my biggest complaint though is it is a romance and I felt like all of the conflict with Mike overshadowed the actual romance between Larissa and Chris, but I just wish I guess that trope and conflict ended sooner so we could then switch to being like giddy and excited about Larissa and Chris.

And then, for Under Lock, my final rating, I think I'm going to say 2.75 stars. Very love-hate relationship with that book, as you guys saw. Weirdly enjoyed it while also feeling meh and actively hating so many parts.
