“When I stand against the gods at the end of my days... will regret nothing. Not the lies I’ve told, nor the lives I’ve claimed or the rivers of blood l’ve spilt. I do not regret a single moment, because everyone of them led me to you”
OKK i was not expecting this to be that good, totally exceeded my expectations. my issue after reading book 1 & 2 was that the romance felt very insta-love and lusty, it was definitely not my vibe and as a fantasy ROMANCE book i was expecting a lot more. however, i did enjoy the overall characters and the great world building, which is why i continued with the series. nonetheless, fate & furies really surprised me because i enjoyed every second of it. the romance was 10x more better, way more chemistry and more angst between thea and wilder. i absolutely ate all their scenes together, and the time apart they had really showcased how deeply they love each other imo. the bantering was top-notch with all of these characters, and we get to meet even newer ones and formed more bonds. coming into this with low-expectations but ended up loving it sm !!

i wish i was more of a better mindset when i read this because i feel like i would’ve enjoyed it more. i had hopes to love it since there’s so many good reviews for this book. i never found the characters, plot, and world-building interesting and couldn’t care less. it was solid in the romance but none of it really captivated me. so unfortunate because i wanted to love this once, especially with a nice premise.

”If there's one thing that transcends time and distance and all else, it's love”
the only reason i am sticking to this series is because i love the world building and found family, that’s really all i care about. thea and wilder were just so annoying to me, i hate miscommunication and i felt like it was majority of this book. this also made me realize that i don’t like that many spicy scenes in a fantasy, i just want the slow burn and yearning, but thea and wilder are none of that. i just felt like their relationship feels insta love to me. however, that ending i was not expecting at all which gave me hope for the next 2 books.

a cute cozy fantasy romcom with fae and steamy rivals to lovers !! this was so fun to read, edwina and williams banter was soo good. i loved the beginning, but as i got closer to the end it started to fall off for me that at some point i got bored of them and the overall plot.. majority of the book it didn’t feel like they were truly rivals and i was hoping we could’ve gotten more of that. despite my small issues with it, i enjoyed it till the end and i absolutely need daphne and monty’s book especially with that epilogue…

i was lucky enough to have received the arc for one of my most anticipated releases this year. as soon as i had the time i immediately picked this up !! a reign of rose started off really good, i was so intrigued and invested bc after the ending of book 2 i needed to know what would happen. i’ve always loved the easy world-building and plot with this, however towards the middle i felt like it was falling off and i couldn’t really care much about what was going on. truly what carried this book for me was mari and griffin scenes we were getting. the ending and plottwist were easily predictable, but i still enjoyed how the overall stories and characters ended. i feel it also leaves you wanting to know more about this world and some of the characters we met which i liked. (i need more of mari and griffin asap).

°˖➴ it was so much better then the first book !! i absolutely adored all these characters, more specifically kane ღ i loved the found family we had in this book and the angst was sooo soo good. the plot + world building was so good, we get to see more outside of onyx and more things being revealed. and we get to know more about these characters backstory which i loved. i have hopes that by the end of this trilogy it would be one of my favorites romantasy series !! i can’t wait for a reign of roses

°˖➴ i shouldn’t put this in my enemies to lovers shelf because it quite clearly wasn’t, but i am still doing it anyways lol. why are books always marketed as such when it’s painfully obvious they never hated each other at least ONCE. regardless, i really enjoy this, a typical ku romantasy writing, the world-building not difficult to understand, and the pacing well balanced. i guess after reading so many good romantasy books i had high expectations, however it was still fun to read.

⤥ i could care less honestly, it got a bit boring towards the middle and end that i just wanted it to end and get to the point where rowan and evander get their hea. i personally loved the second and third book of this series more and i highly recommend this series to people who want to start romantasy! short chapter books with not a lot of heavy world building and low magic system!

⭑ these books just keeps getting better and better, by far my favorite so far. we get to see more of rowan w/ her family which i love ! something about family dynamics/found family in books comfort me so well. there was a bit of a love triangle happening btw theo, evander, and rowan in the beginning but we all knew who she ends up so it didn’t bother me. i also appreciated the fact that we didn’t get the same repetitiveness that we had in the last two books and got something new and rowanevander scenes we got were insaneeeee i love them sm.
⭑ tropes:
ᰋ found family ᰋ enemies to lovers ᰋ love triangle (like only 30% of the book) ᰋ MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE (these authors don’t play w their tropes, they’re actually done well)

this was such a fun read, so much happened and it was fast paced; youre never truly bored with this book. the world-building was unique and i especially loved waterfalls falling from the sky !! i loved the found family that we had with our 4 characters and the romance btw atia and silas was so cute. in the beginning i felt like i wasn’t getting much from atia’s character so she felt bland to me, but as we get to know more of each character their bond continues to grow and i loved that !!
