Before I Let Go" by Kennedy Ryan is a remarkable and engaging novel that delves deep into the intricacies of friendship, love, and personal growth. With its compelling story, well-drawn characters, and poignant themes.

Solid 3

A Court of Mist and Fury is the second book in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series, following the story of Feyre, who has been through a lot since the events of the first book.
Sarah J. Maas found a delicate yet relatable way to shed light on depression, as Feyre struggles to come to terms with what she had to do to save Tamlin and the people of Prythian and is dealing with the aftermath of her traumatic experiences in the most humanistic of manners. A Court of Mist and Fury explores Feyre's growth as a character, her relationships with those around her, and the political tensions between the different courts of Prythian.
A Court of Thorns and Roses spent the majority of the book developing worlds and characters, which we got to ‘court’ ourselves in A Court of Mist and Fury.
Original rating: 4 stars.
Overall rating: 4.5 stars.
I can't wait to continue the series!

I found "All the Dangerous Things" to be a disappointing thriller, and it was not nearly as engaging as I had hoped.

The book's premise—a woman searching desperately for her lost son—is intriguing, but the way the story is written is unsatisfactory.
The plot wanders aimlessly and moves at an extremely slow pace, even for a situation with such high stakes.

Isabelle, the primary character, lacks charm, and her concern with locating her son comes across more as a bothersome fixation than as a sincere need to be with her kid again.

This book was predictable and completely unpleasant—a subpar thriller with promising but unsatisfactory execution, in my opinion.

Initial read rating: 2

I liked the premise, but the execution was poor, in my opinion.
