jaded person: the people want reality in their fiction! happily ever afters aren't realistic!

no, wrong, the people are full of despair from reality. they want hope and whimsy

There is nothing more beautiful than the love between Feyre and Rhysand.

“I watched him consume every spoonful, his eyes darting between where I stood and the soup. When he was done, he set down his spoon. “Aren’t you going to say anything?” he said at last. “I was going to tell you what I’d decided the moment I saw you on the threshold.” Rhys twisted in his seat toward me. “And now?” Aware of every breath, every movement, I sat in his lap. His hands gently braced my hips as I studied his face. “And now I want you to know, Rhysand, that I love you. I want you to know … ” His lips trembled, and I brushed away the tear that escaped down his cheek. “I want you to know,” I whispered, “that I am broken and healing, but every piece of my heart belongs to you. And I am honored—honored to be your mate.” His arms wrapped around me and he pressed his forehead to my shoulder, his body shaking. I stroked a hand through his silken hair. “I love you,” I said again. I hadn’t dared say the words in my head. “And I’d endure every second of it over again so I could find you. And if war comes, we’ll face it. Together. I won’t let them take me from you. And I won’t let them take you from me, either.” Rhys looked up, his face gleaming with tears. He went still as I leaned in, kissing away one tear. Then the other. As he had once kissed away mine.”

Review for OUABH … 3.75/5 ⭐️

Beginning and ending were good but there was way too much fluff in the middle. I had a very hard time getting through it and almost considered dropping it in favor of other stories.

I like Evangeline. She is the noble FMC hero we all like to see in a fairytale. I also got some cinderella vibes initially between her and her stepsister/stepmother.

And the little bits of slowburn were nice but I am still not sold on Jacks and don’t get the obsession. Maybe that will change with book 2?

Review for Sing Me to Sleep… 3.25/5 ⭐️

There’s a good story in here amongst the drabble. The beginning was fantastic and immediately pulled me in. I also found the world interesting and unique in comparison to most of what is out there regarding sirens/fae. But the minute I got somewhere in the middle the story started to drag. Badly. It wasn’t until much later in the story (near the end) when it had interesting events but not enough to pull me back in. I felt some parts could have been cut entirely to keep pacing on track.

The main character was interesting. I found her background even more-so, but I admit her motivations and mantra were extremely repetitive to the point where it became very grating. Rain was always her excuse but even she admitted it wasn’t all entirely for Rain—so which is it? Are you doing it all for Rain or are you doing it for you? Girl pick a struggle.

The MMC wasn’t super interesting either. He is immediately taken upon the FMC from the get-go and from then on is drawn to her. That’s probably the most interesting part about him to me. Would have liked a little more from him.

The other side characters never really had their moment to shine and when they did they fell pretty flat. I had trouble connecting to any of them.

Overall I feel like this one was an okay read to me but it had the potential to be even better with some more focus on its character building and its pacing.

Nyx is FEYRES and RHYS baby. It’s so weird to watch anti feysand stans spill misogynistic, nasty speeches about how Feyre shouldn’t be a mother and then use Nyx in their fav characters fanfics. If you don’t like the fact that Feyre’s a mother, why does that change for other characters?

Review for Under the Oak Tree (novel) vol 1… 3.75/5 ⭐️

Ok before I say anything else, keep in mind this is a comic-turned-novel so it’s going to read exactly as a comic-turned-novel. Central plot? What’s that? For those who want strong world-building, characters, and main plot, you probably won’t find that here. You will have to wade past the filler and follow along through Maxi’s eyes because her experience IS the main plot.

I’d compare it best to a slice of life story but much darker, rampant sex every few pages, while set in a medieval world full of monsters, magic, kingdoms and rampant sexism. Think like, the Witcher, as a world setting and it’s pretty close.

Everything is pretty much fed to the readers in crumbs — especially the world-building. But you’re seeing everything through Maxi’s eyes and as a maiden who has been sheltered all her life, you’re learning things at the same time she is learning things—slowly.

HOWEVER, Maxi herself as a character is so fascinating. She has a noticeable speech impediment and possibly the worst self-esteem I have seen in a character to the point she will self-sabotage herself to save the face of others. I thoroughly enjoyed her journey and self-discovery seeing how she just started coming into her own sense of self.

And… the romance is… very… eh. Prepare for smut scenes every 10 pages or so. The first one starts VERY off-putting and had some veeery questionable moments in terms of consent, so do with that what you will. It’s also VERY patriarchal so latent misogyny is pretty rampant (fair warning). But there are a few hints that the surface level love they currently have may run deeper than they let on, especially from Riftan (iykyk), so I am sure more of that will be explored in volume 2.

Also I think as I read more the MORE I got interested in Riftan’s background based on some of the things he has brought up. And honestly if some of the things I suspect are true, he is going to win me over entirely. We will see…

That being said, I did enjoy this! I understand why the comic was so vastly popular and why it is written the way it is.

When I was little I wanted to be Italian REALLT badly bc I loved the movie cars and specifically had a crush on this fucking THING

Which doesn’t speak English at all, all it’s line are in Italian and it’s name is GUIDO. And everyone knew I was obsessed with Italy in elementary school but they didn’t know why bc I, even as a young autistic child, had the sense to know this was a rightfully so, highly mockable thing. So I would read about cars on IMDB and then one day someone posted a crackfic on the message boards there and it was about this guy getting drunk and beating his wife, and it snapped me out of my fugue long enough to realize how absurd wanting to be Italian was, but then it made me cry really hard and my parents were like ‘hey what the fuck’ and I didn’t have the chutzpah to admit anything so I told them I saw a naked lady online and then they went into the computer and found all the weird south park midi songs I downloaded on lime wire and I thought they were literally going to kill me for about two weeks.
