Look I know it’s popular and that makes it fun to hate on. But it’s getting ridiculous. People can’t even seem to make posts about it now or ask questions without people from this community downvoting and leaving nasty comments.

Everyone’s got their own taste and there’s no need to crap on others for theirs. I like this community for the most part and there’s good recommendations and discussions.

But for some reason I’ve noticed a surge in negativity lately that is just so silly and needless. This hobby should be fun and we don’t have to bring others down for not sharing our tastes.

There’s lots of popular books that weren’t my favourite but I would never begrudge others for liking them.

Please just remember to be kind and move on if you can’t say something nice lol

Fourth Wing was my gateway into Romantasy like many others. Since my first read through I’ve read around hundred other books in the genre. And they’re all decent/fine. The only other series that came close to scratch the same itch so far was Zodiac Academy.

But I’m in the middle of my third re-read just about to finish book 1 again. I expected it to not hit as hard as it did the first two times. But now I’m still obsessed and still flying through it. This will be my first time rereading Onyx Storm since last year and I loved it at the time so time so I’m excited to see if I still feel the same.

But all of this is just say wow. I’m blown away that I still feel this way about this series and how special it is. I know as this series has gotten more popular it’s brought along its fair share of haters. But for me everytime I come back - I just can’t help but love and appreciate it even more and that’s such a statement to what Rebecca has created I think.

Anyone else feel this way too?

I just finished the Tempest Blade by Danielle Jensen and it feels so refreshing to have a great 6 book series with characters I love that wraps up in a satisfying way.

The final book felt like the right balance of all my fav characters and it surprised me at every turn. I kept thinking I knew what was gonna happen and then something crazy would happen. But it was a fun ride and she kept me guessing right to the end. Without saying too much on spoilers - I liked that the ending reminded me of the beginning first book the Bridge Kingdom so it felt full circle.

Kudos to Danielle. It’s so hard to stick the landing on a long series with multiple characters. We still haven’t gotten endings on romantasy darlings ACOTAR and Fourth Wing. I know we will eventually but the jury is still out on how those endings will go over.

So it always impresses me when an author can manage to pull such a feat off. Lol. And if anyone else has read it and wants to chat more with me in the comments I’d love it.
