Divine Rivals was prob my fav book in April, but also really liked Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman and The Eternal Ones by Namina Forna. So glad you liked Priory!

I think it was because of you, but i picked up a river enchanted and i'm really enjoying it! I always love your videos, they're so cozy. The floor vibes just feel like you're sitting with a friend and talking, im feeling it.

Ruthless Vows was my favorite read for April. But I also sped read The Unmaking of June Farrow and The Only One Left. I could not get through those fast enough. Just added Funny Story to my TBR through my library.

Your story with the cozy fantasy book sounds similar to my experience with legends and lattes. At first I was so in love with the cozy vibes then around 70% I was so ready to move on and there was still like 100 pages left. So either cozy fantasy does not work for me, or I can only deal with short cozy books.

I found Dance of Thieves so confusing to follow. I found that they threw a bunch of world building at you all at once and I would lose track of where the characters were in the present. I read the second book and enjoyed it a bit more but found the ending very drawn out. I skimmed the last 100ish pages because I'd gotten bored of it.

I definitely agree when you said there could be more, because I also felt like this whole book could have been a series once I was finished but it was a solid 3.75~3.9 for me. No shade bestie I was just SHOCKED lol

I saw one KZreadr do a short review/thoughts clip after they finished reading each book and saved each and put together a compilation at the end of the month with all the reviews. I thought that was really interesting and often each review was in a different room, or setting, just wherever they happened to be. Just an idea, if that’s helpful.

Also Jaime can you Include a spice meter or rating because as a teen who doesn’t read spice I would love to find non spicy books 😊

I personally think that The Remnant Chronicles are miles better than Dance of thieves. I devoured the trilogy in 3 day, but the duology was kinda boring, it took me weeks to finish it.
