Fame and Misfortune by Kel McDonald
4.0
I liked this! It was very much a short story kind of story-- I want *novel* kind of stories about these people, thought.
Art is lovely, and I really enjoyed it. I've gotta do a re-read on a larger screen than my Kobo, tho, the action scenes were a little hard to follow on a small screen.
Wish the ending had more girl kissing, because I'm shallow, but getting drinks is good too.

Axbridge by Sasha L. Miller
Well. Same issues as the first one but the pacing had less time to be awful.
Count Taka and the Vampire Brides by C. Chancy

this hit SO MANY of my buttons, wow. it had a huge cast, and I want moooooorrrrreeeee. that said, it had a LARGE CAST and occasionally it felt like certain characters were sketched in and relied on a certain context that wasn't present.
honestly, i really did enjoy this book-- but i think it could have benefited from an editor who wasn't familiar with the author's fanfic and/or harem manga, because there were certain tropes/in jokes that just don't make a ton of sense without that context. (also, there were a couple cultural generalizations and uses of "gypsy" as a descriptor that made me cock my head to the side and go "whaaaaa?")
also i super understand sidelining the romance between taka and kae because of events in the book/there was already a bunch of shit going down/etc, but it felt like it needed some smooching. maybe there's going to be a sequel with smooching? but it needs some smooching. it's too explicitly romantic to hit my smarm hatred, but. smooching.

The last time I read a book that managed to make me care about a spoiled brat growing up, it was a March Upcountry so this was a surprise how much I liked this book.

Failed out, but for someone else it might be a good bad romance novel.
Like if early Mercedes Lackey wrote a hockey players aquire a baby book.
