Status Updates From Curves & Magic

House of Ember by Bobbi Bentz
🖤🖤💕
Showed promise, but the ending was so abrupt and open-ended that I was left more annoyed than intrigued. Still, I searched the author and found nothing more about this being a part of a series and know I'll forget this story by the morning without seeing the potential for more.

The Magic Thief by AK Mulford

This has put a 🔥 in me to actually read this series. I own the first two books, but they kept going further down my TBR 📚 list. After reading this, I've fallen for the world and want more!

Lillie of the Woods by Rae Hendricks

Honestly this was abysmal. The writing was utterly awful and the character development was a joke. I kept reading in the hopes that it would get better and it somehow kept disappointing me in new ways. This would have been more accurately named, "I'm Not Like Other Girls".

Poppy and the Four Kingdoms by E.M. Howell

Thoroughly entertaining, but required so much suspension of disbelief, and none of that had to do with the fantastical setting. I'm intrigued to see what the author does with a longer format.
