I have an unhealthy obsession with fairy tale retellings, dark romance, and Hades & Persephone. Oh! And vampires. Only they can love you forever 🫶🏼

If you know me, you know this my absolute all time favorite book. It‘s my comfort book. It‘s my go-to book when everything else is boring. You would know that I have 3 copies of this book, ALWAYS. I have one that I‘ve highlighted, wrote it, dog-eared, cried in, and bent all to hell. I have one that‘s never been opened. And I have one to share and give away. I just love it so much

Caroline2 I love this book too. ❤️ 6mo

Despite the fact their relationship moved entirely too quickly, to the point I was like WTF, it was still an enjoyable read. Although not as much as the others in the series. If memory serves, there‘s pęggïñg in this one. Spicy girlies unite (srsly tho I need friends)

“I‘m not a better man. I‘m not even a good one. This woman and this man belong to me, and I‘ll do whatever it takes to ensure they stay.” Hades x Meg x Hercules. Hello, another thruple, thanks Katee. 🫶🏼 BUT while I did enjoy the spicy moments (my fave), the plot was slightly lacking. This series is just too addicting for me to rate poorly.

I have fallen down a Katee Robert rabbit hole but the fact that the Wicked Villains series ties into Dark Olympus, is just the greatest thing ever for me. An Aladdin retelling that will leave your childhood ruined but your adulthood fully sated. Thank me later babes. 🫶🏼

The characters are going through so much but their feelings are written down in an understanding way even though they are difficult to understand, which I LOVE.

All I can say of this is WTF did I spend my time reading? It doesn't get actually interesting until page 200 and then at that point there's only like 45-47 pages left. That was by far the most interesting point in the book because of the only climax. The writing was also confusing. They say that repetition of the same word 3 times is a sign of insanity, so I mean... 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm just saying, if you loved this kudos to you but it wasn't for me.

I would say that if you're looking for something semi-thrilling/dangerous in a romantic aspect, this is for you. I liked it, but I didn't love it. Some parts of the book were hard to push myself through because I was just bored with it. However, I did end up liking the book, especially the sweet ending!

Because I have to. The sun keeps rising, and the seasons keep changing, and these are still people here I don't want to lose.

// I found this to be one of the most important quotes in the book. It really changed the outlook on where to go from here.

I picked this book up at a store near me that always always always ‼️‼️ has books at a super discounted price. (Lucky me, right?!) At first, I was a little *iffy* because it‘s not my usual genre. Very glad I took the chance because I‘m about half way in and it‘s giving me Romeo and Juliet/Hatfield and McCoy‘s vibes. 🤩 Has anyone else read this? What are your opinions? Any other feuding families you can relate this book to? 🤔

In Caraval, they warn you to get swept away but not too far away... and I‘ve already broken that rule. “Remember— it‘s only a game...” was so hard for me because it‘s so much more than that. It‘s a love story, a fairytale, a whole separate world apart from any we know. I was enticed by Caraval and captivated by Legendary. I mean, really?! How could you not? I felt like a player in the game that really wasn‘t a game in this. 🎪🎭

I get so busy sometimes that I forget to update when I‘ve finished a book or not, haha. I loved this book even more than the first. It just gives off a better vibe and is more fluid with how the story progresses. I‘m excited to see where the third book takes me to next. :)

I love this book so much. ❤️😅 usually I‘m pretty good at figuring out the twists of a book, but this one just kept my head spinning. I thought it would go one way, and it turned out the exact opposite. I‘m not one to reread many books, but I‘ll definitely be reading this one many more times!

“It came in cool shades of forget-me-not blue, which wrapped around her like evening fog, making her feel hidden enough to acknowledge that she wanted to experience more of Caraval‘s pleasures than she would ever have admitted out loud.”

I take my last final (which is prob & stats 😬) today, and I‘m nervous. 😅 Just getting in some last minute reading to calm the nerves so I can focus better. :)

Bklover Good luck!! 5y

But now I feel like finding out about him is one of the ways I find out about myself. I did not expect to love his words. I did not expect to find myself in them.

Is falling in love with someone‘s story the same thing as falling in love with the person himself?

A line from that other poem, the Tennyson one, comes to mind suddenly: The flood may bear me far.

If I had kept the poems from Grandfather, I‘d be riding on a flood that I couldn‘t stop. I did what I had to do; I did the right thing. But it is as though the rain outside pours on me, too, eroding my relief and leaving only regret: The poems are gone, and I can never get them back.

There are two quotes on this page of the book I wanted to post, so here goes.

"I swallow in surprise, and for a second, I feel an unexpected surge of anger: I didn't get to savor my last bite of cake."

"It is strange how we hold on to the pieces of the past while we wait for our futures."
