King of Greed by Ana Huang

emotional reflective sad
this is the best one of this series, which I didn’t expect. It’s also not saying much though because this series isn’t doing it for me. I did enjoy being sad for Alessandra though I mean I’m still a little bitter about how Dom treated her ngl. I forgive the blondie though.

I love Feysand!!! some times it felt corny but it was so fun. I loved the Night Court antics, Feyre’s healing and all the high risk adventures. I love Mor and Amren too!! That last bit had me on my TOES. Feyre is just my #1 girl and obviously I’m in love with Rhysand.

I needed to remind myself that it's not my thing. My strong heroine shouldn't avoid love because it's "girly" as the description says. Yuck

do you wanna read about a gay mountain lion who lives by the Hollywood sign with some funny and sometimes soul crushing social commentary? Go pick up this bad boy.

I saw that some people get mad if you don’t like a book because of a trigger warning that’s clear but you never know how it’ll be used or how it’ll affect you. It’s so weird. I can enjoy the devils night series and other dark romances but the animal cruelty and just HOW dark some of the side characters are ruined everything for me. The story was interesting, like the whole plot and the FMC and her friend were great. But I felt the disconnect also from how much she thought of him vs him thinking of her. It was way off. Thatcher freaks me out more than Damon Torrance or anyone ever has and
what he and Alistair did to her pet rat is fucking weird and I cannot move on from it


I just don’t like any of the guys like AT ALL.
