Hailey Hopkins | 2 comments I read The Prince's Poisoned Vow by Hailey Turner, gave it 3 but it's more of a 3.8.

Review: The Prince’s Poisoned Vow is a political fantasy where intrigue takes center stage—deceptions, shifting alliances, and courtly machinations drive the story forward. The world-building is compelling, blending celestial deities with steampunk-inspired mechanics, creating a magic system that feels fresh and inventive. While the setting and characters are well-crafted, I found myself wanting deeper exploration of both—perhaps due to the multiple POVs and intersecting storylines spreading the focus a bit thin.

That said, the plot remains engaging, even if some twists are predictable. One of the book’s strongest aspects is its seamless LGBTQ+ representation, which feels natural and refreshing. The mix of divine magic and mechanical innovation gives the story a unique edge, toeing the line between fantasy and magical realism.

If you enjoy political scheming, diverse characters, and creative world-building, this is a satisfying read—just don’t expect the depth of a doorstopper epic. A solid choice for fans of intrigue-driven fantasy with a twist.

Ruffian A Racetrack Romance by William Nack
William Nack

I gave it 5 stars. I learned some new things from it too but it's a somewhat sad memoir.


message 2806: by Flo (new)

Flo (daredeviling) Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil which I rated 3/5 stars, a bit of a disappointment tbh. I was hoping for more murder/true crime and less "here's randos who live in Savannah."

Shroud
Shroud by Adrian Tchaikovsky
Adrian Tchaikovsky
I rated this 5 stars. It's an intense survival story on an alien world with a toxic atmosphere. And the alien is truly alien.

Three Dollar Mule
Three Dollar Mule by Clyde Robert Bulla
Clyde Robert Bulla
5 stars!
A fun children's book about how an animal doesn't have to look perfect in order to be useful. Nor does it need to be some expensive breed like a thoroughbred. A mule is just fine.

Gliff
Gliff by Ali Smith
Ali Smith
4 stars
This is one of those dystopian stories set in a near future where AI, wearables and proper ID is required. And it follows 2 homeless children as they try to live in that society. The main character is 13 year old Briar and his sister Rose is 11. They meet a grey gelding that Rose named Gliff.

Marmaid (marmaid210) | 36 comments The Heir by Keira Cass. Rated it 3.5⭐️ because the main character is kinda frustrating with her actions and thought processes, making her less likable than the main character in the original trilogy, and she had her flaws too, but still less frustrating. It's irritating that Goodreads doesn't allow half-star ability when ratings

Another 2 star review. Usually I enjoy books by this author but this one was a disappointment. It really didn't tell me anything useful to deal with my hyperacusis. For more details see my review.

Nameless Things
Nameless Things by Ernest Jensen
Ernest Jensen

I rated it 3 stars. It's a horror story set in the wilderness of a Colorado state park and it about man eating worms. It's a very fast moving story but the big secret - I had a hard time believing it.


message 2819: by sarah (new)

sarah | 296 comments Pretty in pink. Loved loved loved it. The ending was not the same as the movie but I highly recommend it. Good wholesome story line, characters were relatable and it’s the age old conflict of differences between people. We all need acceptance of who we are, what we like and what we have to bring into each other’s lives. Never look down on others, you may not agree with their lifestyle but we live in a country where everyone is different. Be kind

Rated it 3 stars. It's about the traitor named King Kong. This is World War II in case you don't know. He was a British spy who was working for the Nazis.

I rated it 4 stars. These are 7 short stories about cats you can rent out for 3 days. These are not fluffy tales but about people who have problems. Examples include bullying, trying to outsmart the landlord and commiting a crime.
