Characters were brilliant, I especially loved Mia, Naev and Aelius. There were still many characters that you knew almost nothing about. But overall the cast was awesome, so was the atmosphere too. This was really mysterious, dark and unique world.

I have mixed feelings about the writing. Sometimes I loved it and it was fun & clever but sometimes I got tired it being so flowery.

This book had many good twists and I loved how they surprised me.

Nix was likable main character and it was easy to relate to her. I didn't love the romance. It didn't have a big role in this book but I still wasn't a fan of it.

This had really unique atmosphere and setting felt vivid.

The writing was a bit flowery, sometimes I really liked it but sometimes I felt it tiresome.

The plot itself was solid and fast-pacing, but I felt that this still dragged at some points.

I liked the characters even though some of them left me a bit cold. There was still a nice mixture of them and that gave a nice atmosphere and fleshed out the world. The world was amazing, I really loved some of the creatures. Team hobgoblins!

This made me laugh now and then but the story dragged after the beginning. The last part had more action and was more interesting.

I rooted for Lia and I loved Pauline too! Kaden and Rafe weren't that interesting and could have been fleshed out more. I also adored motherly Berdi, she was was awesome.

I loved Terravin, it was unbelievable beautiful and peaceful village. Otherwise this world was quite cruel and ugly.

I was surprised how unique this felt. This made me feel and the story gave some surprises too.

Sore was the word yesterday when it was my grandmother's funeral day. It was too good coincident, so I decided to share this.

I loved Selina, she was tough but at the same time had a good heart. Luke was likable too, but not as interesting as Selina. I also adored Ivy & Harley and the group's chemistry and friendship.

This had the same kind of atmosphere than Gotham tv-series!

I was surprised! I always love that and somehow I was really blind - or blinded - and didn't guess where things were going. I really loved the ending for that reason.

I read a Finnish nature book and didn't really love it. Characters weren't likable or should have been fleshed out more.

I didn't like the armosphere either because this felt quite depressing.

There were some nice nature descriptions but there could have been more of them.

I think the biggest problem with this book was that there were three different timelines and they all started immediately. So you had to get into three stories.

“We're all part of a greater story too... one that transcends wind, time... even our own tears.“

I liked Nona: her childlikeness was lovable, but I was a bit disappointed how amnesia was used again in this series.

I loved post-apocalyptic world in this book.

Writing is sometimes fun and clever but those sentences are buried deep between unnecessary babbling to really shine out.

You could see some plot at least now and then. But this also felt a filler because there were mundane scenes that didn't get the story move forward.

Here have been several kind persons supporting me, so I think there are people who would love to get some update: sadly our fight ended, and I got news from my mother first thing in the Sunday morning. Grandmother had passed away, I saw her last Saturday and read a book to her. She can rest now 💔

1. T-shirt and joggers and a blanket, or something similarly cozy

Tiny should have been main character because he was the most interesting character. Otherwise characters were quite flat.

This wasn't really beautiful book: friend talked about and to their friends horrible and treated them terrible.

Some sentences made me laugh out loud and some made me ponder things - it's refreshing to see adults' problems from teen's view.

#SeriesLove23 #Pantone2023

I loved Raffe & Penryn, it's always awesome when characters are likable. I also liked how Penryn had quite rough past and life with her family wasn't easy. I really loved their chemistry & banter.

Unbelievable but I loved the atmosphere even more! It was everything I could have imagined and a bit more. It was horrid, a bit gore, dangerous, creepy, dark!

This was really intriguing adventure, even though I hated how the ending left so much open.

Characters were really well written: I really felt how disgusting Humbert's mind was but at the same time it was interesting to follow his way of thinking and see things through criminal's mind.

This was really disturbing to read but that means this was really well written.

Writing tooke a while to get to used to and I personally can't say I loved it that much.

I think this dragged at some point. The ending was again more thrilling.

I loved the characters, they were likable and easy to relate to. Secondary characters were great too.

I was a bit disappointed how little this felt like a story setting at ranch. This wasn't that dense with suspense either and I was waiting for this to be a bit more mysterious.

This was okay read, entertaining and simple. And the last part of the book started to be a bit thrilling too.

My list for #bookspin / #doublespin

I loved both main characters! They felt so realistic, I loved character development. I really rooted for both, and I especially loved how they had their problems and didn't have unrealistic flawless lives.

This was really cute book but had it's edges. I would have loved to laugh a bit but this still made me feel really good and it was exactly what I needed in my life at the moment.

#2023ReadySetRead (enemies to lovers) #TBRtarot (yellow cover)

It wasn't really easy to relate to characters, I don't know why. At least romance came almost as a surprise and it wasn't gradually builded.

I remember how I loved the first book, but this didn't have likewise horrifying atmosphere. There were scenes that had potential to get me scared but they failed doing that.

Story was good and I got to know new things about this world. The ending was also exciting and made me curious about the sequel.

I loved characters and it was easy to understand what this was about.

Plot wasn't the strongest part of the book but still fascinating. I was so disappointed when this ended because the ending was quite a cliffhanger and I would have loved to read more.

“If you think in black and white your brain can‘t be agile.”

Simi was an awesome character: she was easy to relate to and feel for. Unfortunately other characters were less developed.

I really loved how this was based on African mythology, it was really fascinating!

I didn't find the plot being that unique: it was quite usual, only setting and mythology spicing it. The basic storyline was an average.

I loved how this wasn't overdramatic, this was somehow really beautiful.

#SeriesLove23 #Pantone2023

This was more mysterious than the first one and that part I liked. But there was also a bit too much drama sometimes - but you can understand that in this genre.

I wasn't really surprised by the last twist, I had suspicions and could see it coming.

#SeriesLove23 #scaryfebruary

This book had comforting atmosphere: while they had struggles there was always some sugar-coating.

Every chapter is like it's own story and this didn't have the best imaginable flow that books can have. Time has also done some things and when nowadays readers can make their own conclusions here everything is told to you and there is no room for own thoughts.

#SeriesLove23 #loveathon2023 #Pantone2023 #naturalitsybingo2023 (children's book)

I liked the setting, the academy was definitely something xD But there was also bullying that I hated.

I really loved the beginning, everything felt so intriguing and even shocking. At the end this didn't really deliver what I expected but this was still entertaining to read.

I needed this #LitsyLove so much today 💞💞 I love the card and that card that I should scratch - I am so curious about it 😀 @iread2much

Grandmother had to go back to the hospital yesterday evening and we got an update today: she's in critical condition. I really needed this positive surprise 💞💞 I am sad and it feels so bad, even though I know she has lived long.

For a short story characters well nicely fleshed out, I also loved the atmosphere and setting.

The ending was way too sugary for me, it also felt a bit rushed. It was quite a disappointment after an amazing beginning.

This was really intriguing to read.

#SeriesLove23 #loveathon2023 #2023ReadySetRead (romance tropes - bodyguard)

I would have loved to get a bit more of characters - I would have preferred the ending to make me feel a bit more.

This wasn't what I expected this to be, and that made this a bit confusing to read at first.

This was really intriguing to read and it was hard to put this book down. This was a bit unbelievable and that what's behind my mixed feelings. But I think I like these mixed feelings, because I still enjoyed so much reading this one.

@Blerdgal_Fenix

It took some time to remember names of some secondary characters because they were so flat. I didn't care for characters.

Somehow all the action and tight situations left me cold. This was somehow interesting but could have been so much more.

Some scenes were told from several POVs and that felt unnecessary and repetative.

I think the idea was good and I loved the twisted ending this book had.

@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Your letter came, seal was in perfect condition 👌 I love how there were several colors in it! #LitsyLove

I loved so many things in this book: characters were awesome, they had backstories and that made me feel for them. Some secondary characters could have had several scenes with main characters, that would have fleshed out things a bit more.

I loved the atmosphere!! All this darkness, massacres, thrilling scenes, heists and a hint of love are my thing. Loved it so much!

This was unbelievable intriguing book and so unique!

I loved the characters: Tessa and Corrick had sad pasts - it was really easy to understand their actions and it was interesting to see things from both sides.

This was really political book: It's always interesting to see who is betraying who and what are someone's motives. It was a bit too clear who are good and bad ones. The one plot twist at the beginning was also too easy to guess.

Really solid book overall, pleasurable & enjoyable to read.

I got some happy #LitsyLove mail today, all these awesome cards (hahaha, two dragon cards, I love the coincidence), heartwarming messages, stickers and tea (!) made me smile

I liked Violet but at some point she started to act quite reckless. Villain character was interesting!

I really loved how dark and disgusting the world was - and at the same time you could nothing else than keep reading to find out even more disturbing things.

This was really fast pacing. Instalove was the thing I really hated and I just couldn't feel it. There were really intriguing world, plotting happening and some twists to keep me reading.

I got some #LitsyLove from @iread2much - a heartwarming letter on beautiful card and cute stickers 💜
