This is my new favourite fantasy series. The final book was everything I could have wanted for the series. I love how everything was wrapped up (even if some bits did break my heart) and so the ending was satisfying. The journey to get to the ending also had me hooked the entire time, new aspects of the world were revealed even in the final book which kept it interesting to the end. I am devastated it's over but I loved the journey. Absolutely a 5 star rating from me!

This is a great continuation of the series. I love the deeper insights into the world. Nahri is definitely one of my favourite protagonists that I've read in a while. I love seeing her character development. I can't wait to read the next one!

This was my first dive into the discworld series by Terry Pratchett and I loved it! The characters were the highlight of this book, they were detailed, highly loveable and went through some character development I wasn't expecting to get from this book. I'll definitely be reading more from discworld!

An amazing start to the trilogy. The characters and plot are really interesting and the world building is amazing. I've picked up the next two books and I can't wait to get into them!

This was a good book, kept me interested throughout. The bits where we read a book in this book were very dense and I think my rating would be higher if those parts were shorter or just easier to read. But otherwise the characters were interesting and the world building was very detailed!

A really interesting and highly important book to read. Only not a 5 star as it was very dense at times and sometimes I would have liked to hear more more the interviews. But don't let this put you off, read this book!

Spoiler free review!
So yes, that ending has me in a choke hold that I'm not sure I'll be free from until the next book is released. However, before that I felt like this book was meh, especially compared to how intense the first in the series was. Things were constantly happening and developing but nothing really grabbed or shook me enough to really get me excited about what was happening. I love how much more of Ruhn we got in this book as I think he's a really interesting character. There was a few too many sex scenes for me but I know many others reading this will enjoy it so I'm not going to criticise that too much. 
Overall, I don't know if I liked this book, it probably would have been a 2.5 but that ending convinced me to bump it up a bit just cause of how much it has dominated my thoughts since I finished reading, even if I'm not actually sure I like it. Can't wait for the next one!

I enjoyed this a lot and binged it over 2 days. I thought the writing style was very clever and even though the English was limited, descriptions of things and places are nicely detailed. Honestly this could be 5 stars but I'm giving it 4.5 stars as I just found nothing really grabbed or shocked me and I just wanted 1 more chapter at the end. Overall, an amazing book that I would recommend! 

I did enjoy this book, the writing is really good and I enjoyed the overall plot. However, I felt that the romance needed more time for me to be invested, though I did get more invested towards the end, but I still feel we didn't really know who Hun-Kame was enough to feel for him. The ending was a little too open for my liking but I was still satisfied with it. Also, I loved the mythology elements as I've never read one based around mayan beliefs before. Overall, a good read.

This book wasn't the easiest to read at some points and I had to put it down for a couple weeks before coming back to it. But it's so worth reading I can't give it anything other than 5 stars. You won't relate to every essay but there is such a wide array of experiences that there likely be at least one that speaks to you and there definitely was ones for me.
