Weaving something big!

Revisado: 02-26-25

Ahhh this one is just as good as the first, none of the magic is lost and something is brewing plot wise. I’m jumping into the next one right away!

To put into perspective how good this is, I put Dexter season 4 on pause to just consume this all day.

Scratches the same itch as TAZ balance and delicious in dungeon!

Revisado: 02-19-25

Ahh this is so good. If you love listening to RPG podcasts and the culture/ethics of dungeon crawling (ala dungeon meshi) you’ll devour this in 2 days like I did! I’m jumping to the next one right away.

There’s cool fights, intriguing mysteries, and tons of looting. I wish it was a video game!

Narrator is awful…

Revisado: 01-27-25

I have 7 hours left and might DNF just because of the narrator. Overly dramatic in a lot of parts and it completely takes you out of this amazing story.
She randomly slows down and whispers a lot, and instead of this adding to the scene it completely takes away what Grady Hendrix was building up.

They really should redo the recording with another narrator.

To Sir Phillip, with manipulation

Revisado: 07-20-24

This has to be the worse Bridgerton story! I’m making my way through the books since s3 wasn’t great. The books have been good and fun so far, some annoyances but these are romance books from the 00s.
Phillip is an a-hole, manipulative of Eloise, explicitly says multiple times he just wants her to be a mom to his kids during the day and a lover at night.
I described the plot to someone and they said it sounds like this was written by an incel.

I made myself finish it, but man this was awful.

Best couple yet!

Revisado: 04-06-24

I love Immortals After Dark, but I do struggle with the MMC always being an alpha hole. This one doesn’t fall to that trope and this is such a healthy couple! He is protective and such, but not to where he ignores the FMC abilities/capabilities. Like this couple communicates, respects each other, etc.

And this story was so good, I’m happy to be back in the world with Robert Petkoff, and I love seeing the overall story continue.
Ahh amazing!

I don’t even know where to start

Revisado: 03-13-24

This was a struggle to get through and I’m considering DNFing with only an hour left. The characters in this have been frustrating, the story was everywhere, and this ending is ridiculous.

Spoilers for an end scene: Scarlet finally finds Tella, her sister, and Tella brushes her off saying she’s crazy/let the game get to her. Keep in mind she hasn’t seen Scarlet since before the game began (because she walked off while Scarlet was being brought to shore) and Scarlet is covered in blood. But nah Tella only cares about a man she met and keeps telling her sister she’s crazy.

And then a bunch of ridiculous, scooby doo-esque/middle school fanfiction villainy happens.

I know this is YA, but if someone says this is good YA then their bar for good books is on the ground.

So good!

Revisado: 12-12-23

I’m really enjoying this series and happy I found it when the second book just came out. This book ends on a cliffhanger though! I can’t wait for the next one.

Good for a book hangover

Revisado: 10-11-23

A good, quick read to help get over a book hangover.

Also reminds me of Thousand Year Old Vampire. Not a bad thing at all, but I wonder if the author wrote a book from a game they played.

Old Mexican Power Rangers

Revisado: 09-27-23

The beginning was somewhat slow but it does pay off! This was an entertaining, funny, and a lovecraft-ian style book. This author is a great story teller and I haven’t experienced that in awhile with recent books.
I’m Mexican myself and enjoy lovecraft, but also am put off because he was a racist guy. This kind pokes at that in an entertaining way.

You meet some older characters throughout the story and I just kept picturing them as aged Mexican actors. It was awesome and hence the title of this review.

The narrator was very choppy. To me it felt like someone forced to read in class after being picked up popcorn style.
To my partner, it seemed like someone who just took a Spanish class and wanted to show off the words they can say right.
You get used to it, but it makes the beginning slower because you have to get used to them.

This is my 3rd book by this author and I’m looking forward to listening to more.

Last one of the series for me

Revisado: 09-21-23

Some spoilers in this review…

This was felt way cheesier than the others. FMC was like a version of Tohru from Fruits Basket, very self sacrificing and low confidence. The MMC was basically Tamlin (red flags and all.)

The story was basically a version of Cinderella and ACOTAR mixed together. Down to the FMC going in and saving the kingdom.
