September Wrap Up | 2022

literally was my second favorite and of course is my third favorite none of them are bad though I read both of these four stars

I've already read gods of Jane Shadow which is not spooky I mean I guess it could be considered spooky in its own right but it's not really

literally was my second favorite and of course is my third favorite none of them are bad though I read both of these four stars I like a little bit more of this one and some of the exploration that we get of different parts of the world in this one that I don't really feel like we necessarily get in the third book

I love these I love the continued evolution of this story I love there's some campiness to it which I really dig Kate holds her own a lot which I really enjoy

I love these I love the continued evolution of this story I love there's some campiness to it which I really dig Kate holds her own a lot which I really enjoy

I will say I did not love the audiobook for this I wonder if I would like this slightly more if I didn't read it on audio the problem was is the narrator used the same voice for all of the people in the house that were like European so like the men and women sounded the exact same I had a hard time distinguishing who was talking unless they were saying who their names were it made it hard to kind of connect the story

I gave this book a two star this has been a wild ride of a series for me I love the first book when I read it I gave it a 5 out of 5 Stars the second book really taint for me and I think I gave that one a two star third book was like a three it was starting to kind of feel better for me and then this book was a two again it's just very repetitive with the things that happen and our main character doesn't learn like at all

I do still stand by the fact that sabriel which is the first book is my favorite book in the series I was not wrong as a teenager to think that

there are some interesting things about the bone Shard magic and the twists which some of them I didn't see coming some of them I didn't quite and I'm intrigued enough so I think continue the series but I gave this 3.5 out of 5 stars like 3.5 and I feel like if I don't read the second book soon I will lose interest in this like this parts of it are already slipping from my mind so I liked this but didn't love it

I liked the first half of this more than the second half so I really feel like this book could have been split into two books because there was things that were happening that I feel like could have been one book each so I kind of wish we would have had more time with more build up with certain things I still continue to feel like I really love Rin as a main character but a lot of the side characters just kind of fall flat for me in this series

the drag Republic is my third favorite with four stars

the poppy war is still my favorite that was the one that I rated 5 out of 5 Stars

I really liked our characters and our side characters not as much as the side characters in house in the Cerulean sea

I really liked sort of like the gothic horrory elements of the house in the first book and like the Apothecary and the poisons and all this stuff

this book I didn't like as much as the first book sadly what's great about it is like this is incredibly sophic incredibly mostly bisexual I would say I'm not sure if every character like says what their sexuality is but like women loving women everywhere but this book has like a weird pacing issue

I gave this a four so like again more than fine for me but then like the characterization stuff was just like fine for me but the like themes exploration and the atmosphere and stuff World building stuff that was great I loved it
