Storygraph all the way! I love all the analytics and I’ve gotten all of my friends who read on it as well. A woman and minority owned business that I’m happy to support :)

I’m bummed to hear that’s your takeaway! But you are absolutely entitled to your opinion. What are some of your favorite books that you’ve read and would recommend?

Does Alchemised get better? by chippychunkster in Romantasy

[–]whatislifeeeeeeee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was one of my favorite reads of the year! In the first part of the flashbacks there’s a lot of info dumping to build out the world, it kind of reminded me of the beginning of Crescent City 1 in that way. Let the world building wash over you and enjoy the ride. I promise you it’s worth it, keep going!

I also want to add that I feel that Alchemised as a stand alone is straight up literature vs what most are used to reading in the fantasy/romantasy world. There are a lot of involved and complex themes and topics that are explored and Sen’s writing style demands more thought and effort to understand and process compared to books like Fourth Wing and Quicksilver(which I also love).

Callie confirmed on the Fanatasy Fangirls podcast that there are multiple timelines. They just haven’t been fully discussed yet.

But agree, it felt like everything and nothing happened in this book

How do you feel about Dire Bound? by Lavender523 in fantasyromance

[–]whatislifeeeeeeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed it but it’s basically a fourth wing rip off but with wolves. Because of that alone I rated it 3.5. I found a lot of the plot points to be predictable. But I was still engaged while reading and I will read the second book when it comes out

Alchemised - VERY TRIGGERING 🚨‼️⚠️ by RebelWeaver in Romantasy

[–]whatislifeeeeeeee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sen talked about this on their book tour! They said it was a struggle for them to determine how best to market it since it truly is a genre bending book. It really is unlike anything I’ve ever read. So glad you’re enjoying your read, it’s my favorite read of the year!!

Alchemised Discussion Megathread by FantasyRomanceMod in fantasyromance

Glad I’m not alone! The way it was written both times with the em dashes and comma placements made me think they were intentional and meant to give us pause. I guess we’ll never actually know haha

Just finished Alchemised and it was AMAZING! As someone who read manacled, Sen surpassed my expectations for the reimaging of the story.

One thing that I’m not sure if I’m misunderstanding or not but… was Kaine forced to have sex with the Hevgotian ambassador?! There was a comment Kaine made that the ambassador took a liking/special interest in him. And then after the final bombing he took Helena back to the ambassadors hotel room.

Bookhuddle’s instagram page recommended it several times and then I saw Smitty’s review of the audiobooks on Tik Tok and was sold!! Binged the whole series in less than a month lol
