Reign of Dragons by Olivia Ash
Did not finish book. Stopped at 60%.

Couldn't get used to the style of the narrator. Every word/sentence was breathy en like she was sighing. And the FMC was talking about her own abilities a bit too much for my liking, too much was explained. If she were a guy he would be described as mansplaining I think...

I'd give more stars if I could. Everything about this book had me hooked from the first pages. So let's just break it down a little ..
The characters FIVE STARS: they are so recognizable en yet feel fresh.
The banter FIVE STARS
The chemistry ALL THE STARS
General sense of humor FIVE STARS!
The worldbuilding and the way it was described FIVE STARS!
The writing style in general: TEN STARS.
I've been through some though weeks due to my chronic illness.. Couldn't enjoy reading anymore because of the fatigue and pain but this book totally got me out of it. It gave the perfect distraction and a world I wanted to get lost in.
Absolutely loved it and can't wait for the next book.
It's a major cliffhanger without being a real cliffhanger 🥰❤️

Mercy of the Vampire King by Rhiannon Futch

It feels like it could be a good story tbh.
But the writing is just not for me... The sentences are so short and it doesn't feel enjoyable to read. There's no flow in it for me. I think it has potential and really liked the description. But the book reads like my comment here tbh. Kinda chopped up. (English is not my first language) Dnf'ing is not something I usually do do maybe I'll come back to it later but right now it just feel right for me. 🥲

I've never highlighted as much as in this book. I had trouble sometimes and had to go back and reread some sentences to understand them but tbh that's more on me than the writer. English is not my first language and I was pretty tired when reading this ...
But it just pulled me in despite that. I have a chronic pain condition and severe fatigue. It spoke to me on so many levels I can't even explain. The story, the characters and how they both accepted each other completely and intensely. My social anxiety doesn't plague me as much as it used to and my illness is easier to carry thank to my own bf being as supportive and caring as Seph. I loved every single page 🥰
