Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall

emotional funny fast-paced

5.0

This is such a great rom com! I literally laughed out loud, cried twice, and felt all the feelings!

It’s heavy on the “I’m not good enough”, so if that’s not your thing, then be warned.
The romance is adorable and fade-to-black.
Loved the character development of the protagonists, and LOVED the array of side characters - perfect compliments or foils and all so unique!!

That was so stinkin’ cute! Could have been so much longer!
Gorgeous art, solid representation, and such a cute epilogue of Tea Dragon “facts”!
Very cozy.

The Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter

adventurous tense medium-paced

4.5

A lot of fighting and training, and a protagonist I loved rooting for! Less dragons than I expected (like Priory of the Orange Tree lol).
Lost half a point for a slow start.

Good continuation! I liked the advancement of the plot and growth of the protagonist. The romance subplot is adorable.
Could have been a bit longer for action sequences, but that’s just because I like fight details!

Interesting weaving of stories and times - a little confusing at times and heartbreaking at others (as all WWII tales are).

Murtagh by Christopher Paolini

I really enjoyed the first 60%, and then it dragged for me. Still interesting, but a montage or two would have been great!
