. . . in the wee hours last night. And I am suddenly eighteen again and everything is crazy sweet and hopeful.
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...
I just bought this :-) So glad to hear it worked for you.
ReplyDeleteIt did, Li. It did.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I've been looking forward to this one!
ReplyDeleteIt is here! Rejoice!!
ReplyDeleteRejoicing right now! :)
ReplyDeleteStephanie Perkins is very good at bringing out the teenager in her readers. I'm only 21% in but that is exactly how I feel about Isla and the Happily Ever After so far.
ReplyDeleteVeeeery good. And particularly with this one, I thought.
ReplyDeleteI really loved this--the more I think about it, the more I think it's maybe my favorite of her three. There's something both magical and real about Isla & Josh's story.
ReplyDeleteExactly. I really need to do a reread of LOLA. I reread ANNA not long back and enjoyed it just as much as the first time. Now for LOLA so I can make an informed decision.
ReplyDeleteBut, yeah. Josh + Isla. Dang.
I just finished. What a wonderful, heady, romantic read. And it's impossible to put down!
ReplyDeletePerfect description, JoLee. Heady and romantic. So so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI loved The Fault in Our Stars. Should I read these possibly? I don't usually like romance but if it's different than I can handle it.
ReplyDeleteI think these would be a great bet! They're not heavy romances, just sweet and swoony lovely ones. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad it worked out for you! I was so excited for this, but it didn't end up being my cup of tea...YA is the best, but these books (especially Isla) were a little bit TOO teenager-ish?
