Funny how our ratings for iron flame and love redesigned were flipped lol I loved iron flame and didn’t like love redesigned, books are so subjective!

Tower of dawn was one of my favorite books. And I know that not everyone thinks the way I do but he was important to the main character in the beginning so I was so happy that he got his own book.

Hi Rachel 👋 I'm reading Divine Rivals and I agree the writing is great and I am enjoying it although I'm not that far into it yet mainly because Curious Tides has been sucking up all my reading time highly recommend it if you haven't read it already 🦋

Fire Endless by Rebecca Ross was my favorite of December as well as the year.

“Perfectly-whelmed” 😂 I read Holiday Romance because of you, and perfectly-whelmed is exactly how I felt from it. Love that! I’m actually trying to post regularly and give this a go again. Holiday Romance was in my wrap up too. House of Sky and Breath was my favorite of last month 🦋

Yay! New Rachel video! 🎉🦋🦋 *mild Tower of Dawn spoilers* My best book of Dec was Tower of Dawn 😅 I know I'm in the minority but I loved it, I really needed an Aelin break at the time. Also, Chaol won me over by risking his life TWICE to save Fleetfoot!

Oh mannnnnn I DNF’d Ruthless Vows. Roman and Iris are kept apart through very artificial means so there’s no romance. I’m innnnnnterested in your thoughts on it because I will never know what happens after the 2/3 mark.

I didn’t have any 5 ⭐️ reads in December 😢. My two favorites I read were Caraval and Flock. Flock took me forever to get into and I almost DNFd multiple times, but now that I’ve finished I ended up buying the entire series (even though it’s on KU) 😂. I just also have to say. I absolutely loved Iron Flame. I agree Violet was a tad bit annoying, but it didn’t take away from the story for me. I’m wondering if I read the same book as those who said it was boring because I was captivated from the second I started 😂. I guess I wasn’t surprised that they went back to school - what else are they going to do, while they try to figure out exactly what to do next? It’s like in Harry Potter where insane things happened at the end of every book and then the next year, they always went right back (except the last one) 😂

I actually hated Violet in IF. "How dare you not tell me your secrets!" Tells like 5 people all of his secrets. "You never include me in your plans!" Doesn't include him in her plans. "Violet you're the strongest to ever exist ever!" CONSTANTLY in peril. Honestly I say let's kill off Violet and make Rhi the MC.
