a disappointing read for me.2 Stars

One more off my backlog...A Magic Fierce and Bright by Hemant Nayak
I liked this one, but the world-building, history, and magic should have been described more!

Got two more out of my backlog, but sadly they weren't the best...I think a lot was lost in translation for

And I didn't hate These Deathless Shores by P.H. Low
but it needs a lot of work1 Star

A Trinket for the Taking by Victoria Laurie
was a good story but the MC and other characters are materialistic. I got bored as they looked through their closet trying to find the perfect outfit... 3 Stars, but I doubt I'll read any more from this series.

Followed you right back!
Has anyone else joined Bluesky? I don't know much about it only that it's a similar alternative.

The Last Hour Between Worlds by Melissa Caruso has potential but is majorly lacking depth to the world!2 Stars

The Otherwhere Post by Emily J. Taylor
started off slow, had some Potter vibes, but it was a good YA story with a few twists.4 Stars

I liked
Nether Stationby Kevin J. Anderson.
For me, it came across as a cozy sci-fi.

HiI am joining with a fellow bookstagrammer and we're going to read The Otherwhere Post by Emily J. Taylor
as our first buddy read and we're inviting anyone who has also been approved for this title to join us in discussing it. I know it's a little short notice, but we are planning to start this Monday, (10/28). Other details, like when we'll chat and what chapters are still in the works as this is both of our first buddy read.
Give me a shout if you want to join us, we were thinking about using Fable as the platform since they have sections for these types of group reads.
Happy Reading!

The Nightward by R.S.A. Garcia
could have been better2 Stars

So happy I jumped back a few books and read Inferno's Heir by Tiffany Wang
. Even though there are those boring politics, the story isn't bogged with it!
Great story!
Now to wait for the next!
4 Stars!

I jumped over a few (I am behind for the first time) so I could read American Rapture by CJ Leede
because I heard some interesting things about it... Well... disappointing. It was a religious lecture from the thoughts of a sixteen-year-old girl, sheltered/controlled by her religious parents with a side of a 'zombie' like B movie story. Sure, I get we as humans are losing our morals/values, and religion can breed major insanity, but sex-crazed zombies... they are not going to understand that they have to strip...
And no, it was not funny.
I did not like the MC, but the side characters had personalities. This book could have been better with a different execution and less religious rambling.

I just noticed two discussions about 'just read", and currently reading. Is it possible to start a new one, combining the two? If we do, it would be great to post the notice in the old ones so everyone who follows those discussions knows and can join in with the new instead of wondering why everyone stopped posting/not getting notifications.
The Others by Evette Davis
was a disappointment. Mostly telling the story instead of showing. 2 Stars
