I’m on book one so I might totally change my mind… but I like Kane. I’m totally rooting for him 😭.
Is this series a full blown love triangle or is it always Memnon? I know how it normally goes with the morally grey MMC but man I like the friendly werewolf vibe I’m getting from Kane. He reminds me of Ithan from crescent city!!!
I have always wondered… if Elain and Feyre were taken to participate in the blood rite, do you think Rhysand and Az would’ve broken the rules to save them?
I always just wonder because I feel like Azriel is so against the illyrians as is I wonder if he would truly respect the rite if Elain was put in 🤫.
Or would they do as Cassian did? (Genuinely no hate to Cassian).
I am over halfway done with Born of blood and ash. OBSESSED with Sera and Nyktos. I still have book 5 and book 6 to read in from blood and ash.
Do we find out what Callum’s deal is? He’s become such an interesting character to me. Sera just saw Callum visiting her family home, and he is swearing he just wanted the quiet of where he grew up. Plus he told her mom how to kill a primal… I feel like he’s def playing double agent. I am now wishing I paid more attention to him in from blood and ash!!!
I do not mind spoilers. 😸
SPOILERS
I am blown away with this book holy shit.
• First off I love the dynamic between Zafiah and Kyrene their dialogue had me giggling. Zafiah is so sassy and for what???
• My heart completely was broken for Kyrene. She has lost so many people in her life and the way that she carries them with her, had me crying constantly throughout this book.
• This book pleasantly surprised me. I did not love the previous duology, so I was kind of nervous for this one but holy shit she blew me away. Her writing was amazing and I was completely immersed in the story from the time I woke up this morning to now my bedtime I read this book and the entire time I enjoyed it I genuinely have no critiques.
• I was hoping to see Vincent in this book, but I love that we got to see a little bit of Oraya. I was totally wondering where Rhain was so it was cool to see a nod from him at the end. I’m seeing a huge war happening in the next book so I feel like we will definitely see pass characters from previous duologies.
• From the time that we met Seppy in the first book I was totally intrigued by him. He pleasantly surprised me with how soft he actually is as a character.
• The twist of her not being the true chosen one actually blew my mind. My jaw dropped. I truly had no inkling that was coming my way. But looking back toooootally made sense.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I am missing me some Lorcan and Elide. Does anyone have any book recommendations with a similar dynamic? I’m about to reread if not because ugh!
The way Elide had a heartless witch, heartless warrior Demi fae, and Aelin all in love with her had me giggling 😆
I JUST GOT CHILLS. WHAT THE ACTUAL HECK?!? IS POPPY REMEMBERING A PAST LIFE OF HERS OR IS SOTORIA IN HER LIKE SHE IS IN SERA IM FLIPPING LOL.
Anyone else? Just me? Okay I’ll see myself out.
I must know something. When does nyktos confess his love to Sera or realize he’s in love with her even though he had his kardia removed. It’s so funny as a reader because since the lake he’s been down bad for her.
OH MY GOSHHH. I’m so glad I decided to read this book!!! I was slugging through from blood and ash so I was very reluctant to read the prequel but I’m so glad I did it’s revived my love for the series!!! • Nyktos (Ash) has my heart y’all weren’t kidding about him 😮💨. • Reading about baby Jadis and Reaver butt has been so adorable and silly to read. (Reaver literally watching them sleep???). • I feel like a reread will be necessary now to catch everything!!! • I can already tell Kolis is going to be insane. 👀
ALSO, this is totally about Poppy, Cas, and Kieran right???
I’m flying through book one!!! The vibes are so delicious. Love, love, love Sera!!!
I just finished the war of two queens and holy crap the info dump at the end was a lot to take in.
• I find it so funny EVERY single book in this series essentially ends with oh now the war is really coming
• Okay so, Isbitch wanted to raise Kolis to raise hell to get her revenge against the Atlantians (aka mama and papa Da’Neer) and she needed to kill a primal to make it happen??? It should’ve been Millie but Millie failed during her ascension. It could’ve been Poppy but she chose her over her heart mate. Kolis is free. I’m definitely missing some things. My brain hurts.
• Super intrigued with Millie and Malik.
• I wanted more from Isbitch and Poppy and Millie. Although I’m glad Isbitch is gone. The dynamic was so interesting!
• Also good thing they joined since Cas is missing a finger now Kieran can make up for that lost finger. Although I’m really disappointed by the way the scene was written.
• Okay now time to start from flesh and fire 🥳
Let me start this post by saying I adore Holly Black. I have reread the cruel prince series so many times! I loved her writing in those books… however Tithe I am having a very hard time following her writing for some reason. I wanted to read the series for Roiben so I’m kinda bummed, but her writing is very erratic in this series (to me at least lol). Does it get better as the books go on? Or should I jump ship?
Like literally in the prologue one paragraph her and her mom get attacked, then in the same paragraph the mom is like honey we must move now. Then they do??? All in one paragraph??? Like what 😅😆.
Alright I’ve been convinced to read the prequel. I must understand why everyone is in love with Nyktos. I’m currently reading the war of two queens. Can I read book 5, then after book 5 read the prequel before reading primal or should I start the prequel when I finish war of two queens???
I’m also not going to lie, I’m also loving reaver and I saw he was in the prequel so I’m sold.
This series was one of the most beautiful stories I’ve had the honor to read. It’s a bittersweet feeling to have finished because now I have to leave their world. 😭
• Auren’s healing journey and her acceptance of herself has me so emotional. She came so far!!! She kept her kindness the entire series. I love how she always said “bright side” to things.
•I’m so glad her, Digby, and Rissa got to reunite and she can finally live for herself!!!
• I was NOT expecting to look forward to Malina’s story. I cried SO hard for how her story ended.
• ALSO HER RIBBONS / WINGS??? MY HEART!!!
• Ryatt could still get it
I find it really fascinating that Dain says that poison while it is effective, it’s a cowards way of murder. Meanwhile he was poisoning his father into stepping down and obviously what he did to Liriope.
•I feel like he saw these things as an ends to a mean and maybe he felt disgusted with himself for doing so?I thought maybe it was just a dalliance between them and he panicked but then it is mentioned he held on to love letters he had written to her. Or am I being optimistic for his character?
•Do we think he would’ve still killed Liriope even if the prophecy wasn’t what it was for Oak?
•Now onto Balekin. Reading I interpreted it as he didn’t partake in the drugs and alcohol and he was perhaps using the drugs to be in control of everyone else around him. Which is confusing because he isn’t very bright as a character 😆.
I’m 60% through Gold and boy you guys weren’t kidding about Slade getting revenge for Auren.
•Afterwards it made me laugh how he was upset he didn’t have anyone else to kill on her behalf. I am loving this series!!!
•I’m so glad she was able to find a good friend in Emonie!
•I am worried wick will turn on Auren, he seems so guarded towards her it’s shady for me!!
•I love how Auren is making the most of them being separated while Slade is just being an absolute menace.
•STILL wanting more Ryatt!!!
I hereby declare that Tristan Flynn’s face cast is a young Brad Pitt. I feel like it’s perfect!!!
I’m alternating between this series and the from blood and ash series. I am finally starting Gold,
• I’m not entirely sure where Queen Malina’s story is going to go but I’m not super enthused with her having what seems to be a redemption arc.
• On the other hand I’m digging Ryatt 👀 I can fix him you guys. I am hoping he has a romance plot!!!
• I haaaate when book couples are separated but I feel like Auren may need the time to come into her own without Slade by her side so I’m happy to see her character development 😌
I don’t mind spoilers I understand it comes with the territory of posting here.
I had weeks at a time where I for the most part felt normal!!!! Since last weekend I’ve been incredibly dizzy again. I feel so down about it. I’ve been stressed and upset lately (I believe it’s hormonal due to menstrual cycle?) before this flare up, I was able to go back to living my day to day life again and now I’m having to pump the breaks.
Do flareups last for a week or two at time? I’m worried this is my new normal. I fought so hard through the dizziness to get to normal again and I was nearly there!!! I was working, exercising, going out again now I just want to lay down all day again. 🥲
