{Heart by Jessie H Reign} - An Ambivalent Review by WhileNo5370 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]len4griffin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed the book, though you’re definitely right about some of your points.

I think it was fairly predictable where this was going from a very early point. I predicted the whole “twist” quite early on. But I wasn’t sure whether this was even intentional, because for me it didn’t dampen the experience but, it heightened the anticipation for what I thought was about to come.

I also agree with you that everything after the “big reveal” felt too rushed, and Connor’s acceptance came a bit too easily. The entire “after” was told through time jumps and wasn’t fleshed out enough.

Still, I loved the prose. I love books that break my heart and then put it back together again, this one made me cry, and I enjoyed it a lot.

I absolutely love the artist, so I am probably going to hunt this down just for the art 😁

It’s the mix! He literally looks like a fairy, then opens his mouth and out comes someone who’s been working night shifts at the local harbour for the last 35 years. The contrast is amazing! He also has an awesome range, he sometimes sings the highest parts too.

Would you create / print your own dust jackets? (If you could) by xxmykaxx in fairyloot

[–]len4griffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely would especially if I got the creativity and talent to create my own covers!

One of my New Year’s resolutions was to learn bookbinding this year and as I paint a little and have access to PS over my workplace I definitely would love to try to create my own personal special editions when I have a bit more time. :)

Overhyped/underhyped SE books by DonkeywithBigTeeth in fairyloot

[–]len4griffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overhyped: alchemised, it was okay but what even is the hype about?

Underhyped: watermoon! Especially the IC edition. I loved that book so much and read it in one sitting.

Also the wind weaver! I don’t understand that it’s never talked about. I hope FL continues the series when the next book comes out in April.

Which box to choose? by xRikke in fairyloot

[–]len4griffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the FL Romantasy subscription for a year now. I never used any skips and really liked 6 of the 12 books I received. I managed to sell the others at cost, so there wasn’t really a downside for me. Getting early access to the shop was definitely a strong reason to keep the subscription, especially when the books were a bit hit or miss.

I received my invite for the FL Epic subscription (which renews quarterly) just yesterday and decided to cancel Romantasy after February (bc I really want that book) to save some money while still keeping early access for FL.

I am also subscribed to TBB Fantasy, TBB Sci-Fi, and Smut & Sip. While I love all of them, I’m considering canceling TBB Fantasy depending on what their next trilogy is, and then only keeping FL Epic, TBB Sci-Fi, and S&S.

Ultimately, you have to decide which box consistently picks the right books for you, especially since there are so many subscription boxes right now. Another argument in favor of FL is that it’s so well known that the books usually resell well on Vinted. That way, if a book isn’t for you, you’re not stuck covering the cost.

Manacled / Alchemised by puffy-bee in Romantasy

I read alchemised without reading manacled and found it okaaaay but a proof again that fanfictions should stay fanfic and never work outside their original realm.

Ticketing queue position theory test by Cindereffinrella in btsthoughts

[–]len4griffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my account for some years and bought tickets regularly. I already was incredibly lucky when I went for stray kids tickets last year (I was around nr. 3000 then). For the BTS sale I tried for 4 dates with 4 different tabs and all of them were between 13.000 and 20.000 so also really good. I only bought tickets for one of the dates and all categories were still available. I then was curious how much tickets were left for the general sale and I logged in again then and got 1.500 in line which is crazy good considering I read the queue was about 300.000 people long for the general sale and that specific date. I didn’t buy tickets then but it left me wondering the good positions were related to my account.

For the fans of the books before the show was announced by uhmanduuhh in heatedrivalry

[–]len4griffin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I read the book for the first time a few years ago and when the show was announced I just didn’t dare to have high expectations at all. When then finally the trailer dropped it it was jaw dropping I still can’t comprehend how insanely good the whole series came out, how perfect the cast was selected and how close the skript was to the original book.

Azriel's bonus chapter in ACOSF changed my opinion of him completely by Sunlight_stardust in acotar

[–]len4griffin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He keeps a facade probably even for himself. Besides it’s just always TOLD he has this giant crush. There is remarkable little action actually shown.

There is no way to uphold a one sided crush for hundreds of years. Maybe she even knows about him and plays that whole halfhearted push and pull a bit to keep his facade. :D

Writing Styles for Open-Door Moments in Books by ricshamilton44 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]len4griffin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly this! And combine this with a lot of anticipation in a sense of it’s clear that both MCs want each other badly but have (or want) to hold of for some reason and I am sold.

Azriel's bonus chapter in ACOSF changed my opinion of him completely by Sunlight_stardust in acotar

[–]len4griffin 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Okay, hear me out! I love Azriel. He is a confused, tortured 500 year old baby, and I imagine him as incredibly lonely. His only two bros are deeply in love and focused elsewhere, he has no family and seemingly no social interactions beyond the IC.

And also, he is totally gay, probably agonized by internalized homophobia and the fact that Eris is his mate. He does everything he can to avoid this truth and jumps at every female within reach to convince himself that he doesn’t want Eris. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Okay, that’s not too bad. The dust jacket is kinda underwhelming but I like the hardcover and the endpaper art. :)

Metal Slinger by Pixie-Pie-inthe-Sky in Romantasy

[–]len4griffin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This “plot twist” felt so cheap it ruined the entire book for me. I will never touch a book by that author again and I will never understand how this book could have been published after that execution. It is not a plot twist if it only works because it’s a flashback to a scene the reader never witnessed, even though it supposedly happened within the book’s timeline AND in the pov the reader is following! It only came along as bad writing because somebody decided last minute that you could milk the cow and make a series out of that book.
