Luck in the Shadows by Lynn Flewelling

I came for the romance,
I stayed for the plot.
I understand how someone could DNF this book:
1. It's advertised as an M/M romance, but the characters don't have many romantic interactions.
2. here are incredibly long (and sometimes unnecessary) descriptions and infodumping.
But for me, this wasn't a problem. Alec's and Seregil's relationship is so well-constructed; they're both exactly what the other needs to improve as a person, and I'm a sucker for the "be gay and do crime" trope, soooo...
While the story isn't the most groundbreaking and creative piece of literature, it's interesting enough for this book, and the world presented has potential even if it's just your average medieval fantasy.
Flewelling's strongest point is certainly the relationships between her characters, though. There wasn't a single moment where I didn't believe in the connection she claimed they had.
Overall, an amazing book! It took me a long time to read because I'm not used to this kind of fantasy, but I would definitely read the rest of the series!
Pd: I love how funny this book is at times, Seregil and Thero being the perfect example of this
Pd 2: I also love how Alec is surprised someone would even think Seregil and him are lovers, but then proceeds to act like his long-life husband and says stuff like:

The ending was the most convenient and convoluted thing I've ever seen. Aside from that It was very cute and the art is really expressive
I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
5.0
Probably one of the best books I've read this year
Jennette has a beautiful, captivating and personal way of telling stories that you just feel with her. When something bad happens to her you feel bad, when something good happens to her you feel good, when something so utterly unexpected happens to her, you laugh at how she tells the story.
I hope everything goes well for her, because she deserves it.
