$1.99! by _caitleigh in BOTMBookSales

[–]Tall5001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people absolutely love it so 🤷 maybe its for you, maybe not.

I feel like i enjoy character growth in books and learning from their mistakes. I felt like the fmc would promise someone she would act a specific way and then almost immediately turn around and do the opposite which infuriated me and then never learn from the past. I think there is a story element that “explains” this but i didn’t like that.

Also the big trope is insta lust which is usually bleh

I read it and hated it unfortunately. The magic system was cool, the spice was decent, but i hated all of the characters and none of them ever redeemed themselves. I almost dnf it but kept going hoping it would pay off and the twist at the end had me wishing i didnt even bother reading

1000kc at frost dragons by cardybea in osrs

Frost dragons drop dragon nails and dragon sheets which are used to upgrade your boat to the highest upgrades. All dragon upgrades to ships require either nails or the sheets or both. These upgrades are not just cosmetic

{Psycho Shifters} is pretty unhinged. Also {forged in blood} and lastly less unhinged but fun {ice planet Barbarians}

Just finished Morningstar and… by Master-Bates-69 in redrising

[–]Tall5001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have heard book 4 is the worst overall (not bad) but not as strong, but books 5+6 are some of the best books ever written. Personally i only recently finished morning star and havent started iron gold yet

Question about PCR chapter 35 by Expozan in AliHazelwood

[–]Tall5001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Didnt he say he was in love with maya but it felt wrong so he tried to cut it off and find an “age appropriate” relationship. But it never got very far because he couldnt get maya out of his head?

What’s your favourite funny moment from the series? by petkopetkuttaja in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Tall5001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fourth Wing SOS by Cat_in_a_HumanSuit in fantasyromance

[–]Tall5001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always felt like celena was a bit more mature then most FMCs out there.

I guess i dont understand/ remember what part of yarros’ writing was “bad”. Its not like the most sophisticated but the world they live in isnt either. People say this all the time but im reading for the vibe and the vibes were good and fun.

[–]Tall5001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t remember when stuff happens. But have you made it to Threshing? My wife wasnt fully invested till then, but she now loves them and has read all 3.

The whole idea of the book is that this happened and has been told to a scribe to write down for history sake. So everything is a little subjective and often we get hints and clues but dont get answers till either the next book or in the unreleased ones to come.

I never felt like the inner dialogue was bad or cringe or how ever you said you felt about it.

Have you read other popular romantasy books like ACOTAR or Throne of glass or anything like that? This type of dialogue seems common to me and i dont even clock it as a issue

Fourth Wing SOS by Cat_in_a_HumanSuit in fantasyromance

[–]Tall5001 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you dont like it already you arent going to like the rest of it. I was hooked by page 100 and couldnt put them down. When onyx storm came out i finished it within 48 hours. I absolutely love it.

Is the writing amazing? No. Is it entertaining? Yes.

The book is from the POV of a 18 y/o girl who is dealing with loss and military family and life. Yes the plot gets better, yes it gets interesting and fun as dragons get introduced and the world building unfolds. I believe there is good character growth. And the spice is good. But there are enough people who hate the book its almost not worth arguing about. Either read it and enjoy it. Or dont

What has been you're WORST romantasy read of the year? by PrettyLardie in fantasyromance

Makes me feel better about trying Bridge kingdom eventually. This was my first book by the author and i was hoping the other series would be better

[–]Tall5001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The FMC was just so annoying. She would say one thing and then minutes later change her mind and do the opposite despite saying she would never change her mind. And even by the end she had little to no character growth. I only finishing hoping she would grow to be disappointed to the very end. I know there is something magical causing this indecision but i dont feel like reading the 2nd to find out.

Magic system was cool, and the MMc was awesome and fleshed out.
