Powerless by Lauren Roberts
Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.

This is so good!! **LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER**

I didn't technically dnf the book, I'm still reading it but I don't feel like finishing it so I planned in advance🔥🔥 Not one single thing about the book is unique. I get that it's inspired by Red Queen & Hunger Games, but atleast make it stand out.

It's like you copied off somebody's essay and paraphrased it with ChatGPT. And yet it's still BADLY written. Why is this so highly praised?💀💀

When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker
Did not finish book. Stopped at 57%.

Sorry this is so boring I had so many expectations. Got me in a 2 month long reading slump. I really tried to read it but I kept sleeping because of how boring it is. Was still confused of the world building halfway into the book. Soulless. Overhyped.

I'm again too lazy to rate every volume but God has blessed us all with every word written in it. This is the second bible to me. This lifted me up when I was at the brink of despair and started my viking obsession at the cripply age of 12. One of my favorite comics and shows. Easily tops most novels I've read.

Read and watch this or don't talk to me

So I disappeared for a lil bit and I actually have read all of the volumes of this series in one epub for the past week. 

Not gonna lie, there is a huge amount of plot holes and flaws so sometimes it was irritating. It's not the best story, but I am gonna say......this shit is so obsessive like I don't know what happened to me, my sleeping schedule is now 4am to 12pm and my breakfast schedule is long gone. I used to wake up at sunrise💀. My family thinks I'm depressed again.

The characters are debatable. I could probably write an analysis on why I both dislike and like a character for each of their own. The only character I ever liked throughout the series was Callisto Regulus. He's taken the title of the 2024 Cardan Greenbriar so far.  He CUT his ladies throat when they first met. This sounds psychotic but it wasn't severe I wouldn't like it if it was severe(hoe I'm not deranged) I was shocked to say the least. 

The translation was also like a dead grandmas shite. I get an ick for almost every minute. Never fails to make me cry.

I would rate volume 3-6 as a 5 cause I was obsessed not because it's perfect. But I'm too lazy.

I can't decide if reading this book was a miserable or an okay experience ☠️

It definitely has a lot of stuff that you'd like in a fantasy book. It got me smiling sometimes but it felt soulless. Apparently a lot of people didn't finish this for the same reason.

I'm gonna be brutally honest... if it wasn't for the scrumptious majestic art, I would be 100% a solid hater💀

I liked the different positions and perspectives of each character throughout the story. Some learn, others don't. At the same time the female lead got bland when they got in a relationship which was dissapointing. Everyone did a 180 except the protagonists🤡(as of chapter 141) Give their souls back please🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

Written novels don't have art so I've been experimenting on manhwas lately cause I'm bored af and I wanna try new shit. I was borrowing my friends phone who's obsessed with manhwa and I saw this at her tiktoks. The art got me tweaking. Here's the result.
