march was a big reading month // hot takes, manga, sci-fi & dnfs?

it is so well done from a standpoint of World building PL puts so much work into the detail of this book it is so detailed the history the lineages Everything feels like you are stepping into a real world that has been there for thousands of years

the sexual objectification of the female characters was so incredibly prolific in these books and what really bothered me was it was every female character in like every frame through all three volumes and I was just so tired of it after a while

I had more problems with the second and third volumes because there's a difference between this is the art style or like that's a normal thing in manga art which I understand is a thing the sexual objectification of the female characters was so incredibly prolific in these books

Katie's writing has such an incredible color to it she's so good at bringing her poetic sensibilities in to her novels everything is described so beautifully it's so vivid it's so pretty everything's so pretty I don't know how to describe it other than that and this book is no different she did a great job with that in Assassin of Grins and secrets

it's brilliant it's one of the best uses of epistolary Novel narrative that I have ever seen it's heartbreaking it's fascinating it's it's brings history so much to life

I had a good time with parts of it I thought that parts of it were really cool I really liked the concepts and the just general atmosphere of the story but at the end of everything it was just kind of an okay it was something that I have read I liked bits of it and overall I had a hard time especially with the second half of the book

I really enjoyed four scored it was like going back and reuniting with old friends there's so much wholesome content in the beginning of this book and as the stakes get a little bit more serious and things ramp up to be more action flavored toward the end it still kind of keeps that beating heart that we loved so much in Thrice and the first half

Hills of Heather and Bone really just kind of even gives us more of that really beautiful writing and colorful World Romance is very sweet and I enjoyed it for the most part

I just I really liked the world and the idea of it but it just I decided to put it down because I just I don't know how to describe it other than I just really wasn't driving with it

this book was really good I haven't settled on a definitive writing for it yet but it's going to be very high I had a great time with this there's just so much in this book and reading all of the really intricate political stuff usually is something that I struggle with in this book I actually had a really good time with it

yeah I really enjoyed this book and I can see it's definitely lighter than a lot of the fantasy I read but at the same time I really appreciated it and it went really deep and dark surprisingly despite that and I really appreciated the balance that Alex Pierce achieved in this and this is definitely a book I can see becoming a comfort read for me in the future

I think for me personally the humor was just not my brand of humor I just felt like it wasn't a good fit for me personally and that's why I ended up putting it down

what I liked about this is action-packed from start to finish and man I was impressed by how much Ryan was able to pack in this Novella like this is to me a good example of what you can do in a novella it was very clearly defined Stakes I actually got emotionally invested very quickly

NC scrim girl does a great job with her characters her characters all felt very fleshed out there are several povs from the alien races that were very interesting and she does a really good job with the consistency of their physicality and culture overall it was just a really enjoyable read

4 scored really continues all the things that I loved about Thrice and it delves deeper into that beautiful wholesome relationship between Joven and leaf who are the two main characters
