bookshelves: arc, fantasy

(view spoiler)

Underdeveloped characters. One dimensional. Heard this is like For the Wolf which I avoided so if you enjoyed that one maybe this will be your jam.

Too bad bc this cover is stunning and I was hoping to love it. Full review in just a bit (#100 for NetGalley 🍾)

❤️Dual POV
❤️Forced Proximity

message 36: by Paula (new)

Paula Oh I hope your next read is better ml <3 i hate when fmc in books are described as weak and fragile. I can accept a few insecurities, but weakness and ignorance makes me mad in a main character


Marie (semi-hiatus) Noo not the fuckboy 😔😅 Hate them sm 🫠

I don't mind weak and feeble characters if it makes sense for them to be that way but I have sat her and listened to the whole book with the promise of feminine rage and all she did is swoon over someone and hand over her power? Why? Take his power already. I'm just tired of that trope. Thanks bb. 💘🌷

I really thought so too girl and damn how I had hoped I would love it bc ugh the cover is so damn pretty too. I'm just so sick of this situation happening with fmc's in fantasy. Thank you bestie. On to the next one! 💗

Utkarsh Oof one dimensional. Sounds ruff


♥︎ Heather ⚔(Semi-Hiatus) Utkarsh wrote: "Oof one dimensional. Sounds ruff"

Yeah tell me about it lol I kept waiting for it to improve for the whole damn book lol. I need a fantasy to knock my socks off. Keep me in mind when you find one lol. 🤍

Thank you my love! Idk this one just did nothing for me lol and towards the end it had me ready to toss my iPad out the window. 🤍

♥︎ Heather ⚔(Semi-Hiatus) @mimi yes!!! The worst! I hate it, it ruins it for me every time. Ty bb ❤️
