I‘m not much of a fantasy/romantasy girl, but I did enjoy this! With all the hype surrounding this series, I‘m glad I finally read it because I was so curious about all the hype. I think it lived up to it! Great world-building, plenty of tension, and some spice! I‘d definitely be up to continuing the series.

#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch.37-39: Desperate and dying, Feyre makes a deal with the devil. What are Rhysand‘s true motives for making this bargain? - not just to torment Tamlin. What is he really up to? I‘m disappointed that Tamlin seems to have just given up. He needs to do something - I don‘t like how submissive he‘s become. As we head intro this next task, will Feyre survive? Or need Rhys‘ costly help once more?

mcctrish The whole Tamlin storyline has been hard to understand and accept ( besides his lovely strong, tanned forearms 😆😆) 8h

LiseWorks The cruelty of this woman is so beyond my belief. This part of the book is hard to read. I'm not sure what to think of Tamlin. It's like he gave up. 8h

OriginalCyn620 My first thought was that Rhysand has a thing for Feyre too, and this was his way to get her, because he knew she would never give him the time of day otherwise. I smell a love triangle! 😂 8h

CrowCAH @OriginalCyn620 I thought so too, love triangle. But then I almost thought Rhysand wanted the Queen and he was playing a game with Feyre to get closer to the Queen. 8h

Last of my catch-up reviews for this week.

Book 2 in the Mercy Thompson series. It started off a bit slow with some repetitive info from book 1 (I understand this is necessary, but in this case it slowed down the beginning). However once our Mercy got roped into the vampire‘s problem it picked up. We find out more about the vampire seethe and how it works. We also got a bit more about Mercy‘s walker powers & some werewolf politics of course.

MeganAnn As I get back into this series, it‘s interesting to see Mercy‘s relationship with the pack, Adam and the other local creatures starting to develop. Again, I remembered little about the plot but find myself noticing details I know will come into play later. 4.5⭐️ #mercyreread (edited) 11h

My Friday night. I was so tired all week and last night was the same. I stayed awake long enough to finish ACOTAR ahead of the #littensloveromance buddy read. I was starting to see too many spoiler reels on FB ( how does meta know what I‘m reading? 🤔) I quite like this romantasy rabbit hole I‘ve gone down and I think we are reading the second one together too ❤️❤️🎉

mcctrish @KadaGul it‘s kind of creepy but I‘m not not enjoying all the reels 🤣🤣 15h

quietlycuriouskate Your set-up there is nigh on idyllic! 13h

mcctrish @quietlycuriouskate it will be when I don‘t have to look at snow anymore 13h

quietlycuriouskate @mcctrish fair point: we so rarely get snow here (SW UK) that it looks magical to me. 12h

mcctrish @quietlycuriouskate your weather does baffle me 🤣 or maybe it‘s all weather I live in London ON and I‘m geographically lower than you on a map #whydoihavethesnow 12h

#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch.31-36: Sorry for the missed post - life got in the way! So now, things are getting exciting. Feyre goes back to the Spring court only to find it destroyed and empty. We finally learn what‘s actually happening in Prythian - and it all comes down to one evil lady. Who happens to have the hots for Tamlin. Feyre knows she has to try to save him, and everyone else. Or die trying. ⬇️

StayCurious When she gets to Under the Mountain it‘s like that scene in Star Wars with Jabba the Hutt. Only Tamlin is Princess Leia, bound to the side of the villain, except sans gold bikini. Feyre strikes a deadly bargain to complete 3 tasks or solve a riddle in order to save him. But will she survive long enough? 1d

mcctrish That‘s actually the best description of this nonsense 1d

mcctrish Who do you think was only person to put money on Feyre? It wasn‘t Tamlin #weaklink 1d

StayCurious @mcctrish it had to be Rhysand right? The shit disturber haha - that‘s why she called him over. He‘d better be careful or he‘ll lose her good graces. 1d

CrowCAH It hurt to find Tamlin so submissive. Definitely betting on Rhysand! 1d

mcctrish Lucian is a possibility but I don‘t think he‘s in Amarantha‘s good graces enough to go against the grain (edited) 1d

OriginalCyn620 The Star Wars references are lost on me 😂 but I agree with @CrowCAH! I also think that perhaps Amarantha has met her match in Feyre. 1d

LiseWorks I was not happy to see Tamlin so degraded. And what is Rhysand up to? 23h

vonnie862 I'm glad Feyre killed the worm, but I feel so bad for the girl who was tortured. 16h

#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Testing the waters: if I were to host a buddy read for book 2 after we finish this one, separate from our regular #LittensLoveRomance read, would there be any interest in that? Let me know 🤷‍♀️ Ch.28,29,30: Feyre is returned home - but it‘s a much different home than she remembers. Tamlin‘s generosity has elevated her family so that they are better off than they were 8 years before. ⬇️

StayCurious But not everyone is fooled: Nesta sees through the glamour. And she actually went after Feyre. deep down Feyre knows she can‘t stay there, not when her High Lord could be in danger. If Nesta was brave enough to go to Prythian, so is Feyre. 3d

mcctrish I‘m up for a Buddy read to the end of the series #littensloveacotar and I‘m pretty sure we‘re packing our bags to go after Tam once the ball is over. Maybe Nesta goes too? 3d

StayCurious @mcctrish great hashtag! 3d

BarkingMadRead I am definitely in for a buddy read! I have the whole series but I‘ve only read the first one! 3d

OriginalCyn620 I am totally up for a buddy read! That would be fun. It‘s a bit surprising that Nesta went after Feyre…she was always so prickly towards her. 😂 But good for her showing some sisterly love and concern! I‘m glad to hear that the family was thriving in Feyre‘s absence, but I want her and Tamlin back together. Like right now! 3d

Read4life I‘m up for a buddy read of the series. 3d

LiseWorks Definitely a buddy read for book 2. I was so surprised as how well her family was doing. So Tamlin kept his word to look after them. 3d

vonnie862 I'm up for the buddy read! I bought the series set so it would be fun to tackle it together! 3d

vonnie862 You know, I love that we got to see that side of Nesta! As the oldest myself, I kept wondering why she was so cold to Feyre. Now I understand her better. 3d

CrowCAH The family‘s situation is so opposite of what it was, it doesn‘t seem real. I‘m glad Nesta wasn‘t glamorized. I‘m totally rooting for Feyre to go back to Faerie. 3d

Cupcake12 Definitely up for a second buddy read! 3d

TheAromaofBooks Yes!! I am in for the buddy read. I was so surprised that Nesta knew the truth! I love that Feyre had someone she can talk to about her adventures, even if it's her most unsympathetic sister 😂 It was good to see some understanding between these two. 3d

JenlovesJT47 I‘m down for a buddy read! Really enjoying this book. 🤓 3d

SarahBookInterrupted I‘d be interested in reading along book 2 even though I cheated and read ahead. 😳 now

SarahBookInterrupted @vonnie862 I feel the same way as you. I understand her more too and love that she wasn‘t fooled. now
