Queen Reviews

 This month saw me reach 10 books read again! I am definitely excited. As we get closer to the end of the year, I know for sure that I am going to make my reading goal. Though I think that I might step back from taking ARCs from authors that I haven't read from. I really feel bad or discouraged when I read their books and I don't vibe with them. I always want to help promote an author so having to write a bad review for their book can take it out of me sometimes. I know that bad reviews are helpful no matter the status of the author but I still sometimes feel bad writing them. As you know, I usually try to make them at least critical so that I can help the author see where someone might not like things. I will continue to do that with books I don't vibe with. With that out of the way, I want to also say, that I've found some books that I have absolutely loved this month. Some authors who I will continue to follow and some tropes that are a definite nope for me. For some...

  I liked this book. Definitely not as much as the first one but it was still good. If I have to hear about how much Lorian and Priska can't be together one more time. I'm gonna through a piece of fae iron at someone. I literally don't understand why this is such a crazy point that everyone can't stop talking about. I think that politically this would actually be a great idea. It would help to firmly align the fae and the hybrids together so that something like what happened before didn't happen again. Instead, everyone is steady swearing Priska away from Lorian except her bestie. Of course the bestie is right and everyone else can freaking shove it. I also was hoping that Priska would eventually realize that she can't blame herself for every mistake she makes. Even if that mistake cost a life. Someone had to make the choice and sometimes there is no right answer. That is something that she's going to need to learn as ruler. That's something her aunt nee...

 This was an interesting novel. There are some things that I liked and there were some things that I disliked about this book. I always believe in getting through the bad things first. So, I found it hard to connect to these characters. I wanted some more time to get to know them as individuals, or have more insight into them before we got to some of the other stuff. For example our FMC, Eden, just seemed like she was the wind blowing from one thing to another. It felt like she allowed for the MMC, Shiloh to kinda maneuver her from not really wanting to be in his presence to all of a sudden she's getting fingered. Like she wanted him but I just feel like that escalated quickly. From there she kinda just rolled with whatever was going on without really taking a second to breath and take it all in. Ironically enough, I don't really have any character negatives for Shiloh. I don't like how he moved from one woman to another. Even though we verbally get the confirmation that th...
