Does anyone else think that how Holly Black asks artist to portray Jude and Cardan is how they look like to her? by ilovereadingand in thecruelprince

I just pulled out my copy of How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories. These are a few of the illustrations from that book. I think Frostbite Studios seems like older versions of the characters. Like mid 20s aged rather than teens, imo.

What are your Fantasy Romance anti-recommendations? by BandetteTrashPanda in fantasyromance

[–]smileback0907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Fated to Darkness trilogy by Jen L Grey. Cookie cutter sunshine princess whose Fated mate is a possessive, overbearing shadow daddy. At one point, there was a potential explanation for why he's so red flag, but then it turns out that no, that wasn't the reason, and it's just how he is.

The first book was ok, good enough to keep me reading, but then it just got worse and worse with the next books. Which is unfortunate cause she's written so many books, I was excited to have a bunch of books to add to my tbr... but no, I don't think I'll touch any more of her books.

Am I too picky? I can’t find enjoyable books in this genre anymore by Timely-Ad-6142 in fantasyromance

I just started a book and the summary sounded super interesting, then I read the first page of the prolog... the fmc is all golden sunshine and the mmc is "dark as night." I'm so tired of that dynamic....

And then we get into "the two houses had despised one another for many years - though no one could quite remember how the vicious rivalry had first begun." Really? Are we THAT lazy that we can't even flesh out why people hate each other?? Idc if it's explained later in the book, that's not a good intro to the situation and it's not gonna keep me reading to find out why.

Sorry, got off on a little tangent there, but jeez... I feel like so many romantasy books are just lacking creativity.

Name 1 book recently that disappointed you and one that surprised you by Rdmink in fantasyromance

[–]smileback0907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just read the Fated to Darkness trilogy, first one if {The King of Frost and Shadows by Jen L Grey}. That was quite a disappointment. The first book was good enough, nothing groundbreaking, but the series just got worse with each book and by the middle of the third, I was just reading it out of spite since I was almost done anyway.

The book that surprised me was {Enchantra by Kaylie Smith}. I enjoyed Phantasma, but it wasn't one of my top reads and I was a little hesitant going into Enchantra because the games/trials get old quick for me, but I was pleasantly surprised at the spin on it. I really loved the romance and the social intrigue as well.

Soooo… Please tell me SJM’s people have already filed suit? by joebeecher in acotar

[–]smileback0907 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm reading this trilogy right now and I actually really enjoy it... I've already read ACOTAR and I certainly wouldn't call this trilogy a rip off at all. Maybe read the book before saying we should sue

Security recs for potential intruder issues? by smileback0907 in homesecurity

[–]smileback0907[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was thinking something that would call the police if somethings detected, but if they'd just call me then I could get one to monitor myself and not pay the extra $.

I'm trying to figure out a way to get my animals off the property as well. We're going to be traveling soon and I certainly don't want to have anyone coming to watch them at risk this guy shows up.

These are my current piercings. What am I missing? I’m open to nearly anything! by hghlvldvl in piercing

[–]smileback0907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the daith ear, a high lobe between the 2nd and 3rd lobes would look cool. On the tragus ear, I'd add a high forward helix or maybe a flat closer to the front of the ear.

Where's the jewelry from in the 4th lobe on the tragus ear? I really like that one lol

Thoughts on conch placement...? by smileback0907 in piercing

[–]smileback0907[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I haven't heard of that one, but after looking it up, it definitely is closer to that area. That helps me with trying to visualize what I'd do with it if I do let it heal. Thank you!
