bookshelves: fantasy

Remember that I tried (I really did) and went down fighting.
This book actually succeeded in making me, someone who's usually cheerful and positive, lose the will to live.

P.S. A heartfelt shoutout to the latest entry to the TSTL heroine hall of fame: Miss Violet Sorrengail.

Trixie Haha, I knew I never wanted to touch this series for a good reason! Hilarious review, Hal 💖

Բ⁷ You tried, you fought hard, so it's already a reason to be proud of! I'm sorry that it wasn't anything enjoyable. I hope that you will not pick book three, because so many people, including some of the fans of the series, heavily dislike it.


message 3: by Esta (new)

Esta Oh goodness me I’m so sorry this was a waste of time. I felt the same. Let me know if you need support! I assume you’re not continuing to the third? I hope your next book is 10 stars my friend! ❤️


Anna [Bran. San. Stan] 😂 Oh wow. Kudos to you for sticking it out until the end despite its effect. I hope you‘re back to your usual positive self. 😊 Out of curiosity, did you enjoy the first book?


Planxti's Imaginary World Oh my. That's a lot of hard negativity... and that's supposed to be entertaining?


Persephone's Pomegranate Oh, is it that bad? Not the latest TSTL heroine! lol


Zaynab Haha that's brutal, Halycon! Steer clear from the third book and immediately read something from your favorite author to rid yourself of this terrible inclination 😉�


Halcyon Wise decision, Trix. I should've listened to my voice of reason too lol.


Halcyon @Sana Thank you for those words, my friend! Oh, after this I've decided to stay far away from this series, and I'm genuinely baffled at the love this gets.


Halcyon @Esta 🥹🥹
Thank you so much, beautiful. I appreciate that! Nah, this is it for me with this series. I hope yours is going great.


Halcyon @Anna It made me want to rip some heads off (non-violently of course) haha. Back to my self, yes. Sadly, I didn't enjoy the first one either but a part of me was still curious about where it was all going to lead. Safe to say, that curiosity is fully snuffed out. Thank you, Anna ❤️


Halcyon @Planxti Entertaining, it was not. I very much regret picking it up 🫣


Halcyon @Persephone Oh, she's racing to push ahead of others and reach the top of the list. I couldn't with her.


Halcyon Thank you for that lovely advice, Zaynab. I'll definitely take it. I'm not going for the third book and I have my eyes on my comfort reads to get me out of the possible slump this might have put me into.


Vaishali • [V.L. Book Reviews] It's all we can ever do to try my friend, and try you certainly did by making it to the sequel. Alternatively, I'm saddened on your behalf that the first two books really didn't live up to the anticipation. As always, popular books have a tendency to divide the crowd, and I'm disheartened on your part that this series posed great challenge to you. I'm still deliberating the merits of reading the first book but I will hopefully get to it some time this year (especially since it was kindly gifted to me lol). I hope your natural cheer has been restored my friend haha 💜


Halcyon Haha thank youu, my friend. Yes, with the insane and maddening hype this series is receiving, it's quite frustrating to be on the other end, clueless as to what made it so great. Alas, it didn't work for me and I'm really glad to leave these behind, my curiosity being successfully satisfied. I hope you have a better experience with it when you decide to pick it up, V. All my wishes to you.
