Was not really a fan of the style this book was written. Definitely not a fan of Part 2. Baby death is something I wish I knew about going in, I would have skipped the book. I didn’t read the last twenty or so pages. The first part was really interesting with the societal commentary and internet culture though.

While I feel her first memoir is better, I still really enjoyed this one. My favorite essay this time was “Mochi.” It was deeply personal and vulnerable. I think that essay made me love her even more. The rest of the book alternated humor with poignancy.

What a book to start off 2023. So. Good. The book was almost poetic with its prose. The characters were vibrant and three dimensional. The mythology was so rich. There was nothing I didn’t love about this book. I immediately started the second book once this was finished.

What a great romance to kick off the year reading. Loved Natalie and Tom and their slow burn friends to lovers. I think what I loved most was Tom never pushing Natalie, never being openly jealous of Jason. He let Natalie decide in her own time. the relationship was smooth and full of palpable chemistry. I loved this book.

This series has not been disappointing, and the books have been consistently good. The characters are rich, and have shown growth. Vasya is going to be one of my favorite heroines of all time. I love Morozko and can’t wait to see what happens next.

Dark romance with Hook as the lead. I read this book really quickly. The characterizations were good, even if the plot was a bit predictable.

I was worried I wouldn’t like the series once it switched to Felicia as the lead, but it turns out I needn’t have. This book was just as good as the others. It set up a lot of interesting threads so I really hope Harris continues the series.

A slow burn that never felt slow, there wasn’t anything I didn’t love about this book. The characters were all three dimensional, and Ellerie and Whitaker had so much chemistry it was palpable. The book had just enough suspense to make me feel tense and want to keep reading. Once the action really started taking place, it was impossible to put the book down.

Do yourself a favor and listen to this one on audio. With all the press and leaks and speculation surrounding this book, I expected huge revelations and all the tea being spilt. What I got was a very personal story told by a very hurt man. A man who saw what the British Press did to his mother and when history began repeating itself with his wife, he stood up for himself and got his family out of a dangerous situation. This is not a book written to take down the monarchy. It was written to take down the British Media, which good. The media needs to be taken down. And I hope he’s successful in his crusade. Read this book. It is eye opening.

This year I am reading twelve books recommended to me by twelve friends. This is the first one. This book started off slow, and I wasn’t sure I was going to like it, especially since it was also coupled with no quotation marks. However, the farter in I got, the more invested I became in Hig’s survival. I read it pretty quickly, only so I could make sure everything would work out in the end.

Why, yes, I did read an entire trilogy in one month. And let me tell you, this trilogy was amazing, and it is now one of my favorite series’ of all time. Full of Medieval Russian history and fantasy elements, these books tie together wonderfully and tell a complete story. Vasya was amazing. I loved watching her grow. Morozko was also amazing to watch grow and change throughout the series. It’s rare a series ends and I’m not looking for fan fiction to fill the void of an unsatisfactory ending. This one ended the best way it could, and I felt it was complete. Highly recommend.
