get outta here, bland and unoriginal 💀

I recently read The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi and I really enjoyed it but I had a similar reaction to you on the more fantastically elements. I love a good fantasy but the way it was used so heavily in the second half of the story made it feel like I was reading a completely different book. I would definitely read a sequel or prequel though.

glad I'm not alone in my thoughts on that one!

I love Frieren too! I just finished vol. 9 today and can't wait to read the rest! I also watched the anime and I'm so so sad that there aren't any more seasons :´(

I'm so glad you enjoyed the Bridge Kingdom! I'm almost done with The Traitor Queen and although I'm enjoying it book 1 is so much better in my opinion. I'm curious to see what you think.

I read Fourth Wing in April but last few weeks of April was me reading Iron Flame which I'm still on. They are big books but great reads. I want another novel similar to this series but when I finish Iron Flame I don't know what next to read.

I've yet to find a fantasy series with dragons that I enjoy. However, people have left so many dragon recommendations in the comments on my dragon themed vlog I posted a few weeks back if you wanna peak at the recommendations!

Congrats! 16 books is amazing! I read 13, and I'm sure I only managed it because for the first week and half of April my job didn't have any normal classes to teach or much for me to do, so I just sat reading for about 6+ hours. I did also DNF a few, though, which is always sad. On the plus side, I read "The Dead Romantics," which is now one of my favorite romance and introduced me to a romance author who doesn't seem to write smut, which my Ace self loves.

omg yay for finding a new favorite! glad you had some extra reading hours last month!

I have the same opinion on Priory, I was so disappointed with the end I was just like “that’s it?”

Have you ever watch Attack on Titan? My family is obsessed and they are not the type to watch anime! And I have yet to watch more than the first episode but I plan to soon!

I have not, I have heard wonderful things about it, I just don't know if it'll be something I particularly like haha

I had pretty much the same thoughts as you after reading the 5th Heartstopper graphic novel even though I am the same age as the main characters. It just didn’t sit right with me.

glad we shared the same thoughts!

There are a few creators that I watch even though our bookish tastes don’t generally overlap much. I just adore the way you create content and talk about books. I’d like to dip my toe into fantasy books. (I typically read mostly thriller/horror/mystery.) What would you suggest to me as someone who’s new to the fantasy genre? 💜

@cassandralynn7

awe that makes me so happy! 🤧🫶 Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson is a good place to dip your toes into, it has a cool magic system and is a standalone. A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab is also great fantasy series and it's a bit more YA leaning in my opinion.

I read a good amount in April but they all kinda felt like meh books/I just couldn't properly get into them. Schedule wise my April was weird so I'm gonna blame it on that

It’s wild how some people get insulted by someone else’s opinion. I also agree that a lot of books nowadays drag also I feel like it’s just fluff to make a longer book and there’s a lot of books that definitely can be cut shorter without effecting the story. A lot of the fluff is like writing a school essay it’s the same shit being said different ways. I just dnf at this point. Authors also need to understand readers do realize this it’s very noticeable.

I'm glad I'm not alone in that feeling 😂 it's hard too because it's not like I'm having a conversation where I can consider different opinions, it's just me and my camera chatting up what I think about it haha

You mentioned people being upset about the fact that you didn’t enjoy Priory when you included it in your reading vlog, but I think that it was the way in which you shared that opinion rather than the opinion itself that led to people having that reaction. I love hearing differing opinions, even on books that I enjoyed, but that video was a bit of a turn off for me, too. I wasn’t bothered enough that I felt the need to post anything negative on it, but just some perspective on the response you did receive and why folks might have been upset.
