Review:

I gave up and just skipped over the 3rd book in the series, it got too cringe for me to handle at times and I just couldn't do it. 

I don't get why she's still so in love with him at the start of this book, also I don't fully understand Baldair's approach of having the guard go looking for her, couldn't Aldrik just look and see through the bond?


Also he didn't need to die. And we all knew from the first book the minister was evil right? Like they weren't subtle about illusions and mentioning he was a waterrunner so it didn't feel like a huge surprise. (though the fact it took her so long to see through his illusion is concerning for someone who claims to be sooo in love with the man he was impersonating.


One thing I don't love about this series is that except for the first one it always felt like all 5 books were more one long book that were just split up than 5 individual books with individual plot lines in service of a larger tale 

Epiphanies/quotes/ Things to remember:

- “Return to the life I had? That option left me long ago.” - I get that she's still mourning her relationship with Aldrik but it just doesn't feel sincere because it doesn't feel like she was even trying to move on.

- “Because he said he considers you his sister.” Also this is awk af because she such a crush on him in the first book, I mean that is what ultimately got her into this whole mess isn't it?

Kingdom of ash (ToG 8)

  Title:   Kingdom of Ash Author: SJM   Publisher:  Bloomsbury Year Published: 2020 Started: April1  2022  Finished: April 12 2022 Review: I was here for Lorcan and Elide's arc. However Aelin/Rowan once they were reunited, I didn't love their arc. Also I felt that the wolf tribe reveal was frustrating another of Aelin's plans we see or hear nothing about, I guess it was a fitting way for the series to end. I did not think Aedion did enough  to redeem himself, Lysandra should have made him beg even more. I know his father died but in the run up to that  I still hate Chaol, I know I enjoyed the focus on the mmc's mental issues in ToD but here he still annoyed me. Also while I liked them as a couple in ToD, I felt like Yrene was diminished here because of her relationship with him. (I needed more of her and Aelin) Epiphanies/quotes/ Things to remember:  - "So Lorcan did." - this book was already 1000 pages long and we couldn't get their fir...

The High Mountain Court

 Title:   The High Mountain Court Author : A.K. Mulford   Publisher:  Year Published: 2021 Started:  April 10th 2022 Finished: April 13th 2022 Review: This is a book  that feels rushed, it could have maybe benefitted from another 200 or so pages. While there was decent world building in parts, others felt completely glossed over and we were left to fill in the gaps.  .  I do love a fated mates trope but again it feels rushed. Also it seems like it's going to be enemies to lovers, but she is into from the moment they meet, and I need my enemies to lovers crack  I did enjoy that the witches seemed to be main characters like the fae, and not secondary until they became annoying to the plot. Epiphanies/quotes/ Things to remember: Why did he have to speak to her like a friend and treat her like an enemy?
