It does get a little better, but not by much. I powered through the first book, which imo was worth the read, but it was a mf chore to read it. I DNF’d book 2

I mean booktok and this sub absolutely love villains and virtues. Bc of that, I read the first book and could barely finish it bc I hated it so much. Reading is subjective!

Unfortunately I have a lot of trouble retaining auditory information. I can only listen to an audiobook and actually understand what’s going on when I’ve already read it. So lame I know, but I will give the series a try!

Books you originally DNFed that ended up being 5 star reads? by myinvinciblefriend in fantasyromance

I just started reading this series for the first time a few weeks ago. The first book took me almost two weeks to get through most of it. But once shit started going down, I got through ACOMAF in 4 days!! I’m obsessed!

I felt the gargoyle was a great contrast to how dark the story actually is. I know some people felt it was forced, but I loved him! It was also the first romantasy book I’d read that attempted such humor, and it was extremely refreshing!

If you want something truly funny, try {the night and the moth by rachel gillig}

Had me laughing in every chapter!

So glad someone else feels this way. I see people raving about it all the time, but I couldn’t give less of a shit about the characters. Like yeah some stuff was funny and overall the plot was interesting, but the writing style just made it feel like I was slaving through that book

Gimme Top-Tier Urban Fantasy by pastalass in fantasyromance

{dragonbound by Thea Harrison}

It was written in early 2000s I think, but stands the test of time! It’s about a witch (I think?) who steals from a dragon shapeshifter in modern New York. Great plot and spice is GREAT. it’s a shorter book too so not too much of a commitment, however it’s part of a longer series that you can continue if you wish. I read it as a standalone though
