The Hemlock Queen by Hannah Whitten
Did not finish book. Stopped at 13%.

Could not keep me interested. I was so bored. So many dreams, so little plot movement

I mean, sports romance seemed good, and then the “daddy” kink hit, and I got the ick. Like, sure he’s older than her, but I didn’t realize how much I hated that until I read it.

My first cowboy romance. It was super sweet, and made me almost cry in some parts. I loved Ada’s journey. Wes fell a little flat for me, but, he’s got the hot cowboy thing going for him.

Sassy street urchin, and reluctant hero, Lift, and her spren, Wyndle are on the run. I really enjoyed their developing relationship, and how Wyndle is so patient with Lift.
Lifts perspective is fantastic, and I look forward to more about her in future books.

A witch, just trying to survive and help rescue other witches from being captured and killed by the blood guard. 

A witch hunter trying to find the one who has been outsmarting him, the crimson moth. 

A thrilling cat and mouse game with romance, a love triangle, and betrayal. 

I loved it.

I loved reading this second book of the Stormlight archive. Shallan’s story made me love her more, it added some mystery to the book. Daddy dalinar is my dude. I love renarin even more, and Adolin grew on me. Kaladin is always a fav.  Can’t wait to start book 3

I’m interested in reading the other books. While this one was a novella, there’s so much world building packed in it. It doesn’t feel rushed, and I really enjoyed it.
