Avid fiction reader, wistful nonfiction non-finisher. Sci-fi and fantasy are my eternal loves; I dabble in romance when the mood strikes.

Hm, yeah, that's a vibe. I am actually not sure if I finished this before, the ending felt very unfamiliar to me.

Hm. I think I liked it enough to keep. It definitely queerbaited the ace thing, but only for about 10 pages, so I think that's a publisher problem and not an author problem. Other than that aspect I found the book really enjoyable. Much spicier than most contemporary romance.

either this is gonna be a massive ace score or it's gonna be a just-found-the-right-man letdown

I'm actually not sure I read this one, as a kid. We'll see if it starts to ring a bell later.
I'm done, but I'm not going to review. Fairly disappointed that the author got as far as getting a lot of tropes about women's representation in hockey (like everyone talking about their NHL dads, or getting massively underpaid) right, but acting like professional women's hockey straight up doesn't exist in 2024. Even if you didn't have time to include the PWHL because it was so new, did you like.....forget about the PHF? Or international play? I'm pretty disappointed.

Back to it, I think. I thought Book Six was much longer; it turns out that about a third of my ROTK volume is appendices, so I have less to go to the end than I had expected.

Having some Thoughts about magic which is inherently viewed as bad, in a setting placing so much emphasis on magic coming to the mage the way it decides to, not the way the mage would like it to, and where it absolutely must be recognized and trained asap. Feels a little bleak.

Gave back to the library, these were a little more comedic than I was given to expect from the show.
"The story of how Clariel became a Free Magic Sorcerer, set 600 years before the …
I had a very hard time sympathizing with Clariel - who wanted independence from her family and obligations but never quite got herself around to thinking about how to do it. And who repeatedly, obviously, did not give a shit what was happening in the rest of the world as long as she got her happy ending. I found her very frustrating and the book's plot was somewhat unsatisfying. Kind of a bummer. I'll have a go at Goldenhand later but if it doesn't grab me either, I'll just treasure the time I had with the first three books and be OK with that.
