Massive Fall Reading Wrap Up! 20+ books ✨📚🍁

One thing I will say, the plot was very engaging, but I felt like it was missing some characterization, especially for our main character. But this was fun, and I would recommend it. I'd give it like a 3.5 stars.

Obviously a little tricky to talk about the eighth book in a series, but what I will say is that I loved it. And I did give Creative Horribables five stars. I won't lie.

The series is just impeccable. I could read like a million books following these characters. This one might be my least favorite of the three, but I still loved it.

It wasn't bad by any means. I was entertained while reading it, but it also didn't really have the emotional impact I was expecting. Like nothing bad, but nothing extraordinary.

It just kind of felt like a gift. This was an easy five out of five star read. Like truly, no notes would change nothing. This is just one of the best fantasy books I've ever read.

It's just very like whimsical and dark and endearing. And I feel like Victoria Schwab put her own twist on some like very well-known vibes that you would find in this setting. And I just really enjoyed it. And I think I'd give it like 3.75 four stars.

This was full of adventure. I loved the characters. I thought it had a meaningful message that was portrayed well. It was just a super engaging and very entertaining story and I would give this like five stars.

I also love the novella. I would give everything I'm showing off here five stars. So good. Like truly read this.

Conceptually, I love all the ideas of this. I love a serialized detective story. I love that it has supernatural elements, but I'll be honest, I really struggled with the main characters voice and humor. It just really wasn't my style of comedy, so it constantly sort of pulled me out of the story.

This book is so good. It combines elements of like true creepy horror, religious horror with fascinating politics, really likable characters, and a fastmoving plot. I would give this like a 4.5 stars.

I wouldn't say this book is perfect. The plot gets a little convoluted, especially at the end, but I will say it was shocking and I thought the overall concept was really clever and dark. I would give this like four stars.

I wouldn't say this was perfect. Specifically, the end felt a little bit rushed to me, but it was thrilling. Like, I had a hard time putting this book down. I was locked in from page one.

I loved the main character. I thought the sci-fi planet and setting were so interesting. The one bad thing about this book for me is that I guessed like all of the twists halfway through.

Both of these books are some of my favorite books I've read so far this year. I'm obsessed with this series. I love book one, book two, in some ways maybe even better than book one.

I loved this book. I loved the setting. I loved the writing. Beautiful mix of historical fiction and fantasy with a delightful writing style as you would expect from Katherine Arden. 4.5 stars.

Every book just feels better and better than the previous installment. And just the Dandelion Dynasty series is one that I've enjoyed immensely. This was another five-star read for me.

In general, I felt like this was a very effective horror story that again has some really fun twists on some well-known horror things. Like a great fall read for sure. I always love TKen Fischer. Like four stars.

So overall, I would say this book was entertaining and interesting, but was also kind of missing the punch that I was expecting from the narrative, and I would give this like three stars.
