Reading sequels to books I gave 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Do they stack up?? 📚

I still love the beautiful gorgeous lyrical writing style I love the world building and the political Intrigue and the mystical creatures the dragons and the wyverns and some other weird creatures and the relationships and the characters really are the best part of these books for me and that continued all the way to the end

this is another five star read for me this was fantastic I loved it so much I shouldn't have doubted everina Maxwell's ability to write characters that I would love and a romance that I would fall for and a world that is fun and intriguing and unique and interesting and compelling because they've done it yet again

this first book was really good heart-wrenching very violent very disturbing at times very upsetting but also incredibly relevant and preent

this was heartbreaking devastating terrifying disturbing upsetting harrowing and also fantastic and Brilliant and 100% gets five stars

the atmosphere the writing style the characters and relationships and that Central mystery really kept me hooked I wanted to know who Andreas Carelli was I wanted to know why he had commissioned this particular book I wanted to know what was happening to characters that were passing or disappearing it was all very intriguing and it kept me intrigued until the very end and I found the reveal baffling at first but then as I thought about it more I really liked it I found it very satisfying and interesting

I love this book this was yet another book club pick so fantastic High fantasy safic repres presentation a really cool magic system and some really interesting compelling World building layered characters really complex relationships between characters which is like candy for me I eat it up

it's 1940s Barcelona there's a little bit of magic a little bit of a Fantastical quality to it definitely feels very dark and Moody and Atmospheric has a bit of a dark Academia vibe to it I really loved it

it's sci-fi it has amazing world building there is a gay relationship at the center that melted my heart I loved the characters I loved the world I found the political Intrigue really compelling
