I liked this more than I thought I would. I thought it was so over hyped but it was actually very entertaining. I liked Violet as a character, she knew her weaknesses and worked on them. Xaden, while seeming like an ass, was actually a decent person. The found family trope was heartwarming. I loved that this was a dragon book that actually *actively* incorporated the dragons and we knew their dialogue. I just wish we could've gotten to know the other characters a bit more because there wasn't much emotional attachment there.

I'm sad I put off reading this for so long. This was such a sweet and adventurous tale that was full of mischief and magic and excitement. My heart went out to Morrigan immediately because of the bleak beginning but thank God for Jupiter North. I didn't expect the trials to be so high stakes but it had me on the edge of my seat every time. The events towards the end were absolutely wild as well.

An action packed story with magic, slow burn, political intrigue, and the trainer -trainee trope? Sign me up. I loved Tisaanyah, she was an absolute badass with such resilience and a lovely personality. Max was a delight, and I thought the action in this was exciting and easy to follow. The world building felt complex while still being simple and thorough. My only issue that for the first 25%-30% of the story realllyyyy dragged on and I wished the pacing had been a little better.

K. O'Neill's imagination is fantastic. It was so easy to get lost in this whimsical world with the sweetest characters and the most beautiful storyline. I loved the themes of cooperation, friendship, community, burnout and how to ask for help when you need it. It was a lush tale in a fantasy world with very real human emotions and responsibilities. Plus, the illustrations are some of the most dreamy ones ever.

This was so swoony! Piper was hilarious and Harrison was an absolute gentleman. I loved the royal flair and the sizzling romance scenes. That being said, I definitely felt like a lot of these was just filler until we got to the twists near the end. Also with that being said, the ending made my heart so happy.

At first, I was really into this. The structure and writing was beautiful and endearing but eventually the story just droned on. It felt like some details were filler and lost me. I think the premise is so unique and the characters were fascinating, I just think it could have been trimmed some. Also, the pacing was a bit slower than I preferred.

I'm really disappointed and confused with this one. I was SO excited for more of the Torres twins but Ami deserved more than whatever half baked book this was. She went through so much in The Unhoneymooners and she has to live her romance through more of Olive's story? I liked Olive but I'm over her, give Ami her OWN unique book, not someone else's wedding planner! Also I wasn't feeling the sparks at all.

I loved the way this sounded but unfortunately, it ended up falling flat. I loved the idea of these women being bonded but generations apart, and how their storylines all eventually connect. I loved each POV. However, it took me getting through about 35% of the book before I finally got interested and even then, the storylines were still incredibly dull. The second half was better but just okay. The ending did sweeten it a bit for me.

To be honest, I don't understand the hype. The romance was sweet and the writing was beautiful...but that's all I liked. The romance itself seemed rushed and shallow but cute, but I didn't have any connections with the characters. The plot itself felt bland and boring. I found myself skimming most of it.
