bookish_kristina's review against another edition
ONE POTATO, TWO POTATO… IT’S THE SEQUEL!
But alas, it a Dnf at 49%
I’m so disappointed in these books. They call themselves weird and whacky but they are just boring and whiney. I didn’t know a tuber could complain so much, I thought they were a hearty vegetable.

“The potato hoe (is) back”.
I know what you’re thinking. ‘I’ve been here. I’ve done this. I’ve read potato smut. I know what it has to offer.’ You’re incorrect. Simply wrong. You have not been here; you have not done this. You know nothing. You are unprepared. Go forth, indulge, get lost in the starchy, whimsical magic & realize you never want to be found.
Olowin & Russ may seem oddly similar to their brothers at first but there are distinct differences, big & small, that make this a vastly different book. I can’t pick a favorite between Frenchie & Russ but Olowin beats out Tala with ease. Also, not that anyone asked, but I am absolutely titillated about every detail of Russ’s phallus. I can’t really be more specific, but just… everything about that whole situation will make this a read I will recommend repeatedly for a multiplicity of reasons. Russ develops a heartwarming, wholesome energy as he discovers himself. Olowin mellows & unfolds in a really lovely way as well. The character development is hearty & delightful.
I love how well her characters apologize. I love the absurdity & joy in every detail of these stories. I love the unrelenting potato-humor. Without a doubt, this series will always hold a special place in my heart (and not entirely because I’ve been spuddy reading it with baddies).
My primary concern, as an epilogue slut, is that this ending is sorta stinky. It feels fumbled & unsatisfying. I understand it’s a series, so it’s doomed to have some sense of “happy for now”. However, I felt our characters weren’t given that peace. The overarching conflict is brought through the epilogue and even takes center stage. I would say it would be better to have that exploration of conflict close out at the end of the final chapter. Then, start the epilogue, even as a small scene if you have to. Something that showcases their joy (despite looming circumstances) and highlights their growth as individuals & a couple. Epilogues should be a culmination of character work, a final bow. We owe it to our characters to give them a little forehead kiss goodnight before we blow up their lives again.

This one set up a whole series. Do I want that? Absolutely not. Am I gonna read them? Yes, unless and until I develop a sense of shame.
