Spectacular wasn't as holiday as I wanted. That middle part was 😮 I was like Tella you're a freak. I didn't mind it but I think cause I don't like dark romance so this was like bubble gum dark romance 😅. I wanted more winter solstice magic though but I still gave it 5 stars.
@KapowskiReads 24 минут бұрын
ha ha I think that's the best description for it. Tella has secrets we didn't know about 😸 I really want Stephanie Garber to come out with a Winter Solstice fantasy book, more whimsy and sugarplums 💕

totally agree about Piglet! I think it was supposed to be a commentary on the Millennial tendency to be keeping up appearances and achieving milestones even at the detriment of your own happiness / settling for less than you deserve, and the impacts it can have on your overall wellbeing. I think that was portrayed well, but totally agree that we should’ve found out what her partner did. it’s heavily implied that he had an affair, but it would’ve hit completely different and massively impacted our view of Piglet if we found out he’d killed someone or something, that would’ve been so good. alas, I think he was just a spineless idiot in the end, very uninventive 😂

Hi! I just finished Carmilla and am really interested in C&L, but am worried that I will end up as a sobbing mess by the end if it ends the same way as the novella - does the ending differ? Or does it end in the same way? Thank you, and have a good day 😊

@@CamilleLeRoux-sw8gu it includes the original ending but in C&L that isn't where the book ends, there's a few more chapters.
