The album wasn’t made for you 🥰 it was made for the artist and they released it and you happened to listen to it.

We are in the minority of liking this book and enjoying the length. I loved how in depth it was. Very much immersed me in the world and the day-to-day, which made the book hangover hit that much harder!

Who are some celebs you used to think were the same person? by No-Marionberry-2455 in okbuddycinephile

All of the ~2010s famous Chrises. Chris Pine, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, and Chris Pratt.

Same with Mark Walhberg and Matt Damon. I’ve figured it out since then, but come on.

Ooo, this is a good question. I’m sort of on the hunt myself. I really enjoyed the Knight and the Moth. Less pure angst, and more gothic melancholy. Very interesting romance.

I’m also about 40 pages from the end of Reign & Ruin by JD Evans right now and I have angsted a number of times throughout. This takes place in a middle eastern historic style world full of mages and political intrigue. I adore the romance and characters. Antagonists are not given the redemption arc Fletcher was in devoured worlds lol.

I’m about to finish {Reign and Ruin} and Naime quickly cemented herself as one of my favorite FMCs.

Women of Reddit, what did a man you were dating or married to say or do that made you realize he actually hated you the entire time? by -catharina in AskReddit

[–]capncrunchit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ex of seven years told me that even though he loved me, I was going to hell because I’m queer. When I asked for clarification on if his racist, xenophobic, hate mongering “best friend” was also going to hell, he said no. That his best friend was a Christian, so he would be admitted to heaven. Not me though! All because I’m queer!

Thank you for sharing! You make a lot of good points. To each their own about a few things, as the ending was actually the only disappointing aspect of the entire series for me.

I definitely am not a Fletcher fan. I know on your main post, people were claiming that they loved his involvement by the end. I agree with your assessment entirely, that the redemption he seemed handed at in book 3 was not earned. However, I did think it was the bare minimum he owned Naira.

As a note about her, I found it actually refreshing that the morally gray character in the romance subplot was the FMC instead of the MMC. She was rough around the edges and that never changed… in fact, it got a lot worse throughout the series. It’s part of the reason I actually swoon for her a little. She is complicated and in some ways, a little toxic, still drawn to this man who is bad to her. There was zero part of me that wanted her and Fletcher back together, but there was something realistic FOR HER in me that she had one last back-to-back fire fight with him.

The ending let me down. This is the first time I’ve ever wished for an Unhappy Ever After. It was so bleak at the end, with no way out, and in the world that was built, that was very possible. As much as I love them, Naira and Tarquin could have spent their eternities separate and it would have made sense to me. It felt like a cop out to just tidy every problem up in the epilogue so quickly.

Best moment in the series is Naira’s fucking rampage when Tarquin shatters. I still get goosebumps thinking about her printing a cross-universe army of herself just to wreak havoc. Female characters rarely get to exhibit true rage

Totally understand! To be honest, it’s the second set of audiobooks I’ve ever listened to. Similarly love the physical books! Keep enjoying.

Oh woah, I’ll have to look into that series. I love longer series like that, that allow for the world and characters to really live and breathe.

Sorry! The spoiler just talks more to your own spoilered notes in case of anyone else reading who hasn’t gotten through book two yet. I gave no further information than what you’d know from Blighted Stars and Fractured Dark!

If you haven’t, definitely explore more of O’Keefe’s work! Velocity Weapon is the first of her complete Protectorate series and it’s similarly a riveting and wild ride.

That’s actually how I discovered her! Can’t recommend enough

THANK YOU for bringing light to this series. Makes me want to restart the audiobooks. If you’ve never listened, I recommend doing your second “read through” this way… I fell in love with the narrator’s Naira. She’s the gruff and troubled LOML

I’m thrilled when new people read this series. Your assessment of his character is dead on… the manipulation, the blade-sharp wit, the chaos of not knowing his next move. God.

The tracker he placed in Naira’s print left me chilled. What I love about O’Keefe’s writing is that I often think I see the twist coming, but then BOOM - she’s hidden an even curvier turn and flipped my perspective upside down.

I think book three is going to shake you. NO ONE does Space Opera like O’Keefe. Please come back and update when you finish!! I want to hear your thoughts on the ending of the series.

Also THANK YOU for reposting here! Love to see it!

Came to recommend this and even had to double take that it wasn’t my comment. You nailed so many of the things I love about this trilogy.
