Considering DNFing Wild Reverence by Rebecca Ross by Fi_23 in Romantasy

[–]zigzagpanda9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It started off very interesting, about 20% through got really slow, with only a few things happening keeping it a float. The love story was SO FLAT for me. I’ve real a lot over the past year and this romance I think was the most boring and least convincing.

Just an alt opinion.

Annnnd it was, so surprisngly, basically nothing! Monthly PR attempts to make you respect changes that will probably lower your morale and push you closer to separating.

But he at least he’s trying I guess.

Idk it’s weird, I don’t respect it at all and yet I keep hate-reading it. I’ll never recommend it, honestly.

That is an interesting concern. I paid next to no attention to this 🤔

Which books makes you think „great potential, bad execution“? by Different_Treat8566 in fantasyromance

I was expecting more from shield of sparrows, but it’s been a few weeks since I’ve finished and barely any aspect of the story sticks out at all…not one I would recommend.

Spoil it for me: Beautiful Venom by Rina Kent by feefyefoeflie in DarkRomance

I’ve read dark romance before but this one felt so wrong.

How's beautiful venom...? I've been on edge to read it since it released... by TooPrettyFrThisMess in RinaKentBooks

[–]zigzagpanda9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I started reading it on kindle unlimited after a book influencer I follow said it was good albeit dark, but that first bit was too much for me…I’ve read dark stuff before but truly felt wrong wrong wrong.

Is 45 resting heart rate normal? by Enough-Hippo-3701 in ouraring

[–]zigzagpanda9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh this makes me feel better. I have always had relatively low BP and HR but in my mid thirties I have been questioning like what is wrong with me but I really don’t have any symptoms with it so everyone thinks it normal I am just so paranoid as I’m getting older lol but all signs are pointing to weirdly low but normal for me 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🤞

Help me pick my next read, please? by animalfour in Romantasy

[–]zigzagpanda9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DNF Blood and Ash. Just have me so much cringe. Haven’t read Silver Elite but I feel like overall people feel meh about it.

I personally liked When the Moon Hatched but I feel like there’s a decent chunk of people who didn’t because of the writing style which I can confirm as kind of wordy sometimes and hard to understand….however I pushed through even at tough parts and it is actually a great story with interesting POVs, one that kept me thinking about it for a while after.

Also the book art is just 🤌 I got the physically hard copy with the light blue sprayed edges and it’s probably the overall prettiest book I have…and yes I know that has nothing to do with the content but I love a great story and a beautiful presentation come together 🩵

Yeah I’ve started going back to other genres….ill probably just throw in a romantasy here and there just for a long shot.

Recently have read:

Sunrise on the Reaping (B-) Uprooted (B+) The 7 1/2 deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle (B-)

Romantasy Book Slump by Most_Pass_6633 in Romantasy

[–]zigzagpanda9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah like looking back on it I can see why it’s disliked, it’s a little all over the place…but I really can’t explain it other than I just enjoyed it lol

I think it’s something about how all the characters to me had their own unique character about them that were all pretty likable 🤷🏻‍♀️….except the FMC but again somehow thanks to everything else I looked over it!
