The Princess Saves Herself in This One by Amanda Lovelace
4.0
I really enjoyed this - I listened to the audiobook, so I didn’t have the negative experience with formatting. I don’t read a lot of poetry and definitely intend to listen to The Witch Doesn’t Burn in This One soon.

I enjoyed this, but not as much as [b:The Princess Saves Herself in this One|30075802|The Princess Saves Herself in this One (Women are Some Kind of Magic, #1)|Amanda Lovelace|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1462211636s/30075802.jpg|50494177] I listened to both on audiobook and enjoyed hearing the author read her own work, which I still feel brings something special to it. I enjoyed most poems within this one, except the ones where she repeats the same phrase/few words for what seemed like forever. I'm sure it was to make a point, and I know if I saw it written it would've been a quick scan of the page to notice that it was the same phrase all the way down and I probably wouldn't have found it annoying in that format. At one point while listening I seriously thought my audiobook was "stuck" - and I ended up skipping forward until I was past that part.
You Slay Me by Katie MacAlister

This series - and most of Katie MacAlister’s books - are my big guilty pleasure. Is the main love interest a huge jerk? Yes. Is the “we’re destined to be together” trope kind of problematic? Sure. (And it also appears in her Dark Ones series) But Aisling is freaking awesome, the plot is funny, the supporting characters are lovely (through out the series), and Aisling might give in to her attraction now and again, but she’s clear that the relationship (or lack of) will be on her terms. As the series continues, I feel like they both mature and make concessions quite a bit and evolve into a less problematic relationship - even when they cameo in the other dragons’ series.
This book isn’t perfect but it’s super fun, and I enjoy it as an introduction to this couple.

Noble Destiny by Katie MacAlister

A light, enjoyable, quick read. I enjoyed watching Charlotte mature and get slightly more serious (though not too serious!) and fall in love with her husband for all he is inside, instead of the frivolous outside things that drew her to him.
