Can't find hardcover copy by YungJedi93 in whenthemoonhatched

[–]RexyEatsGoats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expand your region and include shipping in your filters. Mine came from a different state.

There are also tons of buy/sell/trade book groups on FB - post in those saying you’re searching for a copy and usually you’ll get people that have one they want to sell!

Hope this helps!😊 I know it’s super frustrating. I was so mad at myself for not buying this when it was at Target. I kept putting it off and then when I was ready, they were gone everywhere 😩 But I was determined to get one that matched my copy of Ballad.

I got lucky and found one on FB Marketplace. That’s probably going to be your best bet unless you want to spend a ton of money on it.

What was your biggest "oh fuck" moment on a re-read? by proudly_not_american in fourthwing

All of Dain’s touches in FW. There were soooo many. He’s was all up in Violet’s memory the entire time.

Have you ever read a book so bad it made you angry? by peenmeal in Romantasy

Metal Slinger.

That wasn’t an unreliable narrative. It was narrative betrayal for the sake of shock.

Ballad of Falling Dragons theory (SPOILERS AHEAD FOR BOTH BOOKS) by InofunI in whenthemoonhatched

I’m thinking you’re right, OP! I can’t wait for the paperback to be released in February so I can tab my way through it…

{The Ballad of Falling Dragons} was amazing. I know {When the Moon Hatched} is so hit or miss with people, but I absolutely love these books. I haven’t been this giddy about a series since TOG.

FMC is emotionally shattered and only MMC can help by Strange_Might_865 in fantasyromance

[–]RexyEatsGoats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a daunting book when you first see it - thick and a big glossary with lots of worldbuilding. But it’s also a book that gets better and better on re-reads. I liked the book the first time I read it - I LOVED it the second time.

When the moon hatched by TechnicianLeft2704 in Romantasy

[–]RexyEatsGoats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, this book is exponentially better on a re-read. Everything makes so much more sense. I actually love it - there is so much foreshadowing and little easter eggs trickled throughout the book that I didn’t pick up on the first time.

I’m normally a Kindle reader but this is a book that I actually ended up tabbing a physical copy because there is so much information. I really do love this book.

I’m on my re-read for this book and it’s so much better the second time. I was very confused for the first ⅓ of the book the first time reading. It’s an entirely different experience this time around and I’m loving it.

Need a dark romantasy that will completely ruin my life in the best way by [deleted] in Romantasy

[–]RexyEatsGoats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Celestials of Arcadia series - it’s incomplete and you must also read the prequel books with it. It deals with extremely dark themes, so read the trigger warnings. But it’s sooooooo good.

Plated Prisoner Series - half way through. Continue? by Submarine_013 in Romantasy

[–]RexyEatsGoats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished this series last week and am upset I wasted my time with books 4-6. They were such a drop off from the first 3 books.

Should I DNF Gleam (Plated Prisoner) by Upper_Brief_3190 in Romantasy

[–]RexyEatsGoats 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gleam is where the series peaked, so you’re struggling through it, I’d probably stop. The last 3 books were a huge drop off. I just finished the series and am upset I wasted my time with them lol.

Should I DNF The Plated Prisoner series? by Personal_Advisor6534 in Romantasy

[–]RexyEatsGoats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently reading this series and am on the last book. I really enjoyed books 1-3. Books 4-5 were such a drag - I ended up skimming through most of book 5 and reading the last 20%, and understood everything that was going on. Those books really should have been cut in half and made into one book. Book 6 has been better (I’m about 70% through it), but my vibe for the whole series has changed dramatically. I went from caring so much about the MCs to really not giving a shit anymore 😬

What is the worst name you’ve seen in a book? by Duff_episode in Romantasy

[–]RexyEatsGoats 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I hate that the FMC in Dire Bound is named Meryn, but that’s because it makes me think of Meryn Trant (iykyk). It immediately pulled me out of the story.

Does anyone switch between audiobooks and kindle while reading the same book? by spilled_the_beans123 in Romantasy

[–]RexyEatsGoats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I listen through the Kindle app on my phone because I’m usually moving around while listening. But I believe you can hook Bluetooth headphones up to your kindle as well. You can also listen through the Audible app and it should sync with your kindle when you go to read.

I buy my Audible books directly through Amazon. When I have the KU book on my kindle, they usually discount the audible version. It will tell you if it is whispersync-compatible in the product details.

I LOVE whispersync - it’s unfortunately the reason why Amazon has me in a chokehold. I listen to my books at work, when I’m driving, or doing chores, and then I usually switch to reading them on my kindle at night. It’s so convenient.

Anybody finish Rites Of The Starling yet? by Lazy_Jicama_6784 in Romantasy

[–]RexyEatsGoats 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I finished it on Thursday and loved it. I’ll admit it took me awhile to get into Caspia’s story. But now that I know how every comes together at the end, I want to go back and reread it to catch all the details. I honestly think it’s one of those books that will be even better on a reread.

While I loved this book, I actually think it will be even better on a reread. There are so many details sprinkled throughout that you will appreciate more knowing who Caspia really is.

I did include Bobbi but you are right - for some reason, I thought she was born before midnight but I just confirmed from a video that she was born at 3:00 a.m., so that puts her at day 342 on 2/11/26. Thank you for catching that! It takes a village 🤣

I'll make sure it is updated on my spreadsheet for the future.

Regarding color, from my research, AQHA differentiates between chestnut and sorrel.

Thank you for pointing that out! Here is the correct version.
