Once and Future was amazingly queer and filled with lovable, interesting characters. I only wish the plot itself was as good. I don’t regret reading Once and Future and I’ll probably pick up the sequel next year but I wouldn’t recommend going into this book with super high hopes - just an expectation for some fun.

To be honest, I really wasn't feeling this for most of the book (mostly because of my deep-seated dislike of Sean Evans) but what an ending

Good times were had - If you're looking for a fun, quick, contemporary romance, I'd recommend this one wholeheartedly.

Really, really good. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters (above all else) and the women in this book are all so amazing I want to be best friends with all of them. The plot isn't terribly original but it's done well, certainly well enough for me to pick up the next book.

The first book in a fantasy series always has to jump through at least some of the same hoops, and to be honest this can make them blur together slightly. And to be honest, this book absolutely falls prey to some of that. However, I'm genuinely so interested in seeing where Hamilton takes it and finding out what ends up happening to our scraggly group of rebels, so I'd say she's succeeded where it counts.

Part of what I loved about The Dark Artifices was how old characters played a significant part of the story — it didn’t just feel like a parade of cameos. Red Scrolls was that parade of cameos and it, frankly, annoyed me. A lot. But other than that: I love Magnus and Alec, and this was a really fun story.

I adored the first book in this series but this second one just didn't stand up for me. Adelaide and Michael were cute and fun but I needed more at the end (the make up scene lasts for about two pages and then the book ends super abruptly) and the entire plot hinged on assumptions that were complete nonsense. Adelaide assumes everyone around her thinks she's wild and irresponsible when mostly they just love her and want her to be happy, and Michael assumes everyone would disapprove of him if they really knew him (including Adelaide) which is also nonsense. I wanted a more concrete problem, I guess.

A Bop.

I didn't really know what this was about when I checked it out from the library but then I saw a summary that basically only said "witch forced to marry a witch hunter in an enemies to lovers romance" and I immediately knew I had to get going on it immediately. I was not disappointed.
