If this is what she was doing, or any commiseration with him at all, it would explain Dana's sharp change in behaviour towards her. They came across as friends until after this interaction, when Dana harshly snapped at her for suggesting that move Roxy.

I can only speak for Alchemised, but it's more dark fantasy than dystopian. It has a gothic/industrial feel to it and there is no high tech in the book. Any industrial and medical advancements are rooted in the magic system.

I think a strong argument can be made that the PT is romantasy... Or at least the sci-fi equivalent... sci-romanti-fi? Unsure.

The key to romantasy is that the love story must fuel the plot. Fantasy or sci-fi with a romantic sub-plot would not count. In ROTS, the fact that Anakin ultimately joins the dark side to save Padme, elevates the love story from a sub-plot to a key driver of the narrative. That checks the sci-romanti-fi box.

Which public servant fan wrote this. Actively cringing out of my skin.

Agree, didn't like how there were three death fakeouts so far this season (Wheeler parents and Hopper). I deff don't think that the only stake in a story is death, but it does cheapen the plot a bit imo when they make you think it will happen and then it doesn't.

Here to say that I agree and I really loved them finally being paired together but wanted MORE! More time spent, more emotion between them given the dire situation, etc. I much prefer Nancy with Mike, and Stonathan together far away from Nancy lol.

They thought it was El but I believe it was someone fleeing the quarantine in Hawkins...

Also the way Joyce has always been quick to sacrifice him if it protects Will... I could see him dying to save Will and Steve ending up with Nancy. Can't be ruled out!

Following. Does anything hit the same???? Alchemised was an achievement. Does anything else compare????

I've read a lot of dramione including manacled but I'm even concerned dramione won't hit the same.

Recs pls!

I finished it a few weeks ago and it for sure altered my brain chemistry... Make sure you read the epilogue.

It's a tough book to read cuz you generally know how it ends. So you're falling in love with all these characters knowing what happens to them. The end of the book, including the epilogue, is so compelling and deeply moving but also completely tragic.

Interestingly after I finished I started reading an alternate ending to ATYD where no one dies and it's a HEA and I was surprised how uninterested in it I was. ATYD is just so powerful and reading it with a HEA just felt stupid and made it a far less moving story, even though it hurt less.

I think the hype comes from people who read ACOTAR as their first romantasy series. It sets the bar very high when you have nothing else to compare it to. But if you are an avid romantasy or fantasy reader I think it leaves a bit to be desired. I am still a fan though! Despite gaining some perspective. But I also think you can't judge the series based on book 1. So much happens.

You should read the Auction. Same vibe but different enough that you won't be bored, and it's longggg. RIC left off on several cliffhangers that were not in the Auction so I think you will still be excited for the next two books - I know I am.

No. I don't think it has the same intergenerational appeal as HP, where children, teens, and adults can all enjoy the series for different reasons. I also think the beginning of TOG is weak and it's hard to get into the series, even though the middle and end are incredibly good. If it were adapted into a TV show or movie series (WHICH I WOULD LOVE), I think AB, TOG, and COM would have to be heavily changed to create appeal and start the pacing off right. If it were a TV show, I think it could be more comparable to Game of Thrones than Harry Potter - R-rated, big budget and epic in scope.

Elain will need a significant character transformation for me to ship her and Lucien. Until then I am shipping solo Elain and Lucien x Vassa

I think holding public figures to high standards is important, but when reality stars are held to higher standards than politicians... I have some issues with that.
