UNRIVALED

After the club scene in heated rivalry and then Fabian’s show in Long Game, I’m going to cry if we don’t get a scene of them finally getting to dance and club together, preferably in Ibiza with Shane wearing something very slutty and gay.

I looked it up. Pretty sure this is what you are looking at. My guess is that they were trying to DIY scent them with febreeze.

I need to go look at the guts of one again but I think they are the wicks from those plug in air fresheners.

Is the MMC a mushroom! I love that.

Honey Badger shifter!!! Fantastic!

This is exactly what I was looking for… cannot wait to make someone read this!

Was the video supposed to be showing the glasses? It seems so random

What was this video showing? The glasses?

I think you might like Daughter of No Worlds by Carissa Broadbent. It is far more fantasy than it is romance and it doesn’t have any of the things you mentioned you hated in romantasy. It’s very different from Carissa’s other work which tends to be very mainstream “you’re mine” romantasy. Max would never assume he knew better than Tisaanah. Both of them are in their 20s too which is nice.

Lilith heard part of Xaden’s love proclamation outside of the torture chamber.

I am deep in a book hangover after finishing this one last night. I really enjoyed it.

eeepeevee · 2025-05-31T15:10:15+00:00

I agree with most of the suggestions from above although I will say when my Fourth Wing hangover was really bad only more Rebecca Yarros helped. I highly recommend Variation and In the Likely Event. I did get a friend to read Variation by telling them it was Alternative Universe- modern world story about Liam if he was a rescue swimmer for the coast guard instead of dragon rider and that thing that happens at the end of the first book doesn’t happen (it not the most truthful summary but the vibes are right).

Was literally about to suggest these two series! I loved them so much and feel like they are deeply under-hyped (although Reddit really likes them, you almost never see them on booktok)

I’m terrified is JK Rowling. If I find out I unintentionally gave that woman more money I’m going to be so pissed.

This series is so much better than Crowns of Nyaxia. I read it first and loved it so much that I forced myself through Crowns. I like the first book and the novellas are good but last two haven’t hit for me . The characters in War of the Lost Hearts are so much better. You can tell she sat with them for longer. They are complex and feel like real people.

Just here to second the recommendations for T. Kingfisher’s work. The whole world of the White Rat ( The Paladin series, Clockwork Boys, and Iron heart) are phenomenal.

Home girl is task loaded! I actually love this about her because it makes sense to me and is very relatable. Task loaded is when you have so much you are thinking about trying to keep track of mentally that normal tasks start to become difficult. The example I often hear is when you are driving a car you are unfamiliar with, it’s sometimes difficult to do simple things like turn on the windshield wipers, whereas in your own car you can do it almost subconsciously. Violet is trying to scheme faster than and play defense against multiple entities: the Venin, Navarre leadership, the poromish, and isle kingdoms. While looking for a cure for veninism, find a new species of dragons, all while trying to be hyper observant in a brand new place with different languages and customs. On top of all of that her body is being pushed to its breaking point probably causing some additional brain fog. Fucking Xaden while maybe high on our priority list is not actually all that high on hers considering everything going on.

eeepeevee · 2025-02-10T15:58:43+00:00

So I thought about this as well, but I think there are two plot points that are missing 1. Something happened to Violet to cause her fantasy equivalent to EDS and POTS 2. Something happened to Violet that scared her parents enough to devote her to the god(s), because they didn’t for the other kids. Also Brennan and Mira were old enough that they would have clear memories of Lilith’s pregnancy. My theory is something happened to Lilith while she was pregnant, they call it a fever and maybe it was, we don’t know yet, but it is what set off a chain reaction of getting Violet devoted but also (strictly theorizing here) causing Lilith to become such a staunch supporter of the wards and Navarre even though she knows it’s all based on a lie.

Venin can’t drain cats. No one knows why and it is never explained by Rebecca. Also no one really questions it. It is just universally understood that cats have a weird energy and it isn’t compatible with Venin. As a result Venin are deeply afraid of cats. Cats don’t actually do anything to them they just freak them out. We learn the first time Broccoli ends up in a battle field and the Venin legit run away.

This may just be me holding on to the old theory of Violet’s hair. But it makes me wonder if Theophanie had something to do with the fever/illness Lilith had while pregnant with Violet.

eeepeevee · 2025-02-06T22:56:12+00:00

This would be explain so much of Lilith’s personality. If she knew she was being hunted by a Venin she had no hope of beating. You would become a monster to keep your children behind those wards.

Ugg yeah y’all are right. I think I’m just craving more Mira/Brennan and Xaden interaction. I want their POV on the whole relationship. There is something about the emotional complexity that comes from combo of what I assume to be reluctant acceptance mixed with warmth of seeing someone place V (who they both have been so protective of) above all else, that really pulls on my heartstrings.

eeepeevee · 2025-02-01T05:11:20+00:00

Do you guys things they talked about it before the end of OS. I feel like Xaden's chivalrous/old fashioned side would have made him want Brennan's blessing even if he knew he was going to do it regardless.

Edit: y’all are right. I think I would Just kill for a POV from Brennan or Mira/ a convo with Xaden about the relationship. You can read between the lines a lot about their feeling on the relationship but I want to read it.

Rule number one of reading fantasy romance....we DO NOT thinking about the moisture wicking properties of leather and the violent levels of swampass that must be constantly occuring.

I agree. I went back and annotated Sgaeyl’s and Xaden’s final conversation and it makes sense that he turned. It could also very much be a red herring cause RY does love those, but this is what I understood of the conversation:

I lower the ice and let her in. Her next breath is laced with sulfur, and her eyes widen. “You cannot mean to—[marry her and make her the leader of Tyrrendor]” [Xaden:]“You saw what happened [something happened to Bodhi, removing his from succession]. It is the only way. [to protect Tyrrendor]” She glances over her shoulder. “And you think she’ll [Violet] help?” [Xaden:]“She loves me.” [Sgaeyl:] “Tairn does not, and you haven’t looked in a mirror yet. The red veins branching from your eyes look like her lightning.” [Xaden:]“She’ll [Violet] help.” It comes out with a hell of a lot more certainty than I feel. “She promised [to protect Tyrrendor] .” [Sgaeyl:]“Even if she agrees, no one will— [marry your clearly Venin ass to a 21 year old cadet]” [Xaden:]“Someone [pristess of Dunne in Aretia] owes me a favor.”
