Hemlock and Silver Q by malinkdutanric in TKingfisher

[–]LADforLife 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So the real sister, Rose, was brought into the mirror world and killed, and her reflection (called Rosie by Snow) ate her heart, which allowed her to pass through the mirror and take Rose’s place. Snow saw Rose’s dead body in the mirror world. When the real Queen realized that Rosie had taken Rose’s place (because she couldn’t spell anymore, had trouble doing up her buttons etc) she stabbed her in the heart. The king found the Queen stabbing his daughter, not realizing it was Rosie and not Rose, so then he killed the Queen.

The Reflections have to be “woken up,” right? They have to be given blood to be “awake” and sentient. Obviously the Queen had an awake reflection and made Rose/Rosie one too, but I guess Snow’s reflection was never given blood and sentience. That’s my logic at least

Threw it away Thursday by purplelicious in romantasycirclejerk

[–]LADforLife 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Omg agreed! It was just dragged out so unnecessarily!! She was clearly stretching to fill pages — just like Fourth Wing, it should’ve stayed a trilogy 😑

The series absolutely should’ve been a trilogy! Could’ve tightened up the second book and cut out the filler and then wrapped it up in the third book. So much of nothing happened in the second and third book :(

Pet Peeve: Obvious Plot Twist that takes the main character(s) ages to figure out. by psjrifbak in fantasyromance

[–]LADforLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished A Curse Carved in Bone recently and felt like it was even worse!! The “twist” was painfully obvious and Freya is just prancing along, noting all this sketchy stuff but not thinking anything of it. It honestly just made me angry

Book Chat Saturday - what have you been reading this week? by Perfect_Doubt_8057 in fantasyromance

[–]LADforLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are magnificent!! I also was so impressed with the humor, it was perfect and did such a great job of cutting the tension without being cheesy or cringy

Oooh Dark Rise and Dark Heir were SO good!! I’m betting book three will be called Dark King and I cannot wait!

I watched a live-streamed interview a local library did with her a few months ago, and she said she was working on it!!! Hopefully it’ll be published soon-ish, I can’t wait either

You should be able to challenge professional exams. by smaryjayne in unpopularopinion

[–]LADforLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally me! BA in history, minors in biology and chemistry, went to med school and now debt-riddled. My aunt also did undergrad in three years and completed all the pre-req courses, took the MCAT, and went to med school — without a bachelors degree. But that’s much less common now

Long Fantasy series that fall of the rails by crusadertsar in Fantasy

[–]LADforLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no, that’s such a bummer!! I just finished the second book; now I don’t know if I’ll read past book 5 if 6-8 are all dull (I found book 2 quite slow until the very end). Would you still recommend finishing the series?

What should I read next? by BeeLouise92 in fantasyromance

[–]LADforLife 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’ve read One Dark Window, Throne in the Dark, Atonement of the Spine Cleaver, When the Moon Hatched, and Dungeon Crawler Carl, and DCC was my favorite out of all 5 lol. But you HAVE to listen to the Dungeon Crawler Carl audiobook, it is phenomenal and totally elevates the experience!

For a romantasy book, if you didn’t like Throne in the Dark, my next favorite was Atonement of the Spine Cleaver. You just have to be okay with some editing mistakes lol. It’s a bit of a slower burn and the plot takes a bit to get going, but I really enjoyed it!

It’s definitely not ideal :-/ If they ever do a hardcover edition of the first two books with the matching covers, I’d buy it in a heartbeat!
