It really is a pretty cover. And dragons. I love them so. It's been far too long since I've read a book in which dragons played any kind of primary character role. They do here, and they are probably my favorite aspect of this book. But more on that later. It's probably worth noting that I, like the rest of the world, was aware of Fourth Wing and the collective losing of BookTok's mind over it. I mean, it was kind of thrilling to hear that you couldn't find a copy anywhere—in the sense that I love it when books are being consumed and loved. And when that happens in such a way that it takes publishing by surprise (for lack of a better way to phrase it) so much so that they have to scramble to print more. So I did the sensible thing and bought the ebook. And then I proceeded to do the not-so-sensible-but-extremely-Angie thing and not read it. There was a cross-country move tucked in there somewhere between the buying and the reading, but more on that at a later date...
Definitely following the YAckers escapades!
ReplyDeleteEm, hope they amuse. :)
DeleteI have a "lone downer" sign if you want to borrow it. I can make copies.
ReplyDeleteDonna, I'll take two. One for me and one to hand out when the occasion requires.
DeleteJust read over there. While I did end up liking the book, the instalove thing got to me too. I know there was a justification for it, but still, I didn't find Akiva a compelling love interest.
ReplyDeleteEmilia, in general instalove bugs me. It can work in some cases, but this was sadly not one of them. He wasn't compelling. He should never have fallen for her.
DeleteHah, lone downer. I definitely have to laugh a little at that.
ReplyDeleteApril, laugh it up fuzzball. ;)
DeleteI've definitely been the lone downer on certain books, but I loved this one.
ReplyDeleteI know you did! It makes me feel worse. I don't know what happened but I fell out of love along the way.
