Read 2 times. Last read February 15, 2021 to February 16, 2021.
edit 2/21: still a waste of time but felt like i needed a refresh before ACOSF... prolly didn’t need to bother but it wasn’t that awful
-------------------------------------
and to think, i was so excited for this one
dnf @ like page 50. this just wasn't good & when i saw the second novella was announced my eyes rolled back in my head so far i saw fucking stars. i'll give you some unneeded backstory since i don't have much to say about content:
i started this series before i started reviewing on goodreads. i devoured the first 2 books back to back in college and was pretty in love. at the time, i hadn't been reading hardly anything because college but after reading the first 2 i got back into reading and back into fantasy. so i will always be grateful for that, but i also think that colored my judgment of the series.
when you've never had chocolate before, a hersheys bar tastes pretty fcking good. and when you haven't read fantasy in a while, SJM books seem pretty good
these books really aren't that bad but they aren't really that good either. and SJM's bloated continuation of series is kind of getting on my last nerve. no one wanted 2 novellas. no one really wanted this series to continue beyond the first 3 books. sure we love the gang but could you just start a new series? your pregnancy shouldn't be an excuse for a shitty novella.
i'm rambling. whatever. i'm selling this book.

Or maybe I should post some length rant about how SJM is a goddess and you JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND!
Not the point I know but I’m from the land of chocolate and I can confirm your chocolate analogy is accurate. It tastes nothing like the real deal, I’d rather chew on a cardboard box before I try that crap again 🤢This book was also crap.

I couldn’t, because she sucks.
yep, same thing happened to me. i read the first 2 books and i loved them and then came the 3rd one and boyy did it suck. now i wonder if the first 2 books were even good to begin with or was i just oblivious. oh and your pregnancy shouldn't be an excuse for a shitty novella. oh goddAMN

the chocolate... damn that was a good analogy
thank ya @eliza!!
LOL! I only read the first one and thought...hmmmm...better stop. I know a downward spiral when I feel it.
That’s why I only read her books smut and romance
