Doora

A book with good promise, but somewhat bad executed.
It dragged out too much and when the two protagonists finally meet, its boring and not worth the build-up.

Your usual “you're famous now, you do stuff, will we survive”-story. It's decent enough.

I now wish I could understand my dogs thoughts. I rarely cry because of books, but that chapter had me crying.
The general theme of the book is also lowkey gut-wrecking. But you'll have to read the book to find out. Best to go in blind.

So I decided to go out of my comfort zone and try something new.
The new thing was the Doll Factory. Thriller/suspense, not something I usually read.
I got to admit the first part of the book is alright, but the last few pages had me on my toes.

I really love this world, but there was a lot of lost story. They would be doing something, then at the next page they were somewhere else. Made me question whether I missed a sentence or not. Also it was 95% action, 5% break for the characters. Probably why I've spend so logn trying to get through it.
It's not a bad book, you just don't get a break from the action.

If you're into super repetitive books, have a go at it.
I was super close to DNF'ing it midway through but gave it the benefit of the doubt. It was a mediocre read.

Holy macaroni.
You can read this book even if you haven't played any of the KOTOR games. You just wouldn't know many of the characters (unless you've played SWTOR).
We're introduced to some of our KOTOR gang again and they embark on a new adventure to figure out what Revan is dreaming about.
The ending had my brain in shambles, and you have to read it to understand why.

So much better than I had hoped!
Chemistry between the love interest from the very beginning to the end - we stan!

If you're looking for the following tropes, give it a go:
- Long lost princess
- Magic banned in kingdom
- Quick redemption arc
- Pirates
- “I want to hate you, but I love you”

Phew, what a ride!
If you're here after watching the movie, then you ought to know the book is vastly different.
Also I can recommend reading it while listening to the movie soundtrack

lots of emotions right now

Spice: 0.5 stars
Book itself: 2 stars

I have not read the first book and I don't know if I would've enjoyed this more if I had but to be honest, it was quite dull. It was interesting enough in the beginning - then it got dull as we met the “love interest”.
No chemistry between the characters, medium-burn romance, where we first get the romance aspect at the last 50-ish pages.

Hopefully the 3rd book is better.

So the booktok hype was real this time around.

Still as good as the first time around. Still lives up to the original hype. I now got the special edition in my collection, and I liked the extra novellas

3.5 stars
Spice 3.5/5 stars

So unfortunately another overhyped book by booktok. Don't get me wrong, the story was alright for the short 90 pages we're in it. But the smuttier side of booktok overhyped the smut WAAAAY more than it actually is. It's pretty decent smut, but not like panty-dropping.

Whew, what a rollecoaster!
You have action from the beginning to the end.
It's your normal mate story with the dark, broody alpha male that finds his one-true-lifemate.

Hold fest for en rutschebane den her bog har været. Amen, drama fra første side til de sidste få sider.
Jeg elskede den første bog, anden bog var egentlig fin nok men den her.. Den var super gentagende. Fra det ene drama til den anden, det bliver super langtrukkent og irriterende i længden.

3.5 stars.
It's been a while since I've played the game, so I don't quite remember it. But if you don't want to play the game and only read the books, you can do that; they follow the same story.
The last 50 pages were long-winded and could've been summed up faster.

3.5 stars.
Spice 2 stars.
My first book by W.S. Greer (thank you Booktok!) and it wont be the last despite the 3.5 star rating. This is my 2nd romance written by a man, and this time I was not disappointed! Greer writes women great and doesn't make them seem like sluts. The sex scenes are also written decently. So kudos to you Greer!
I went into this book thinking it would be romance. But it's more action than romance. Sure there is a romance between Amari and Gianna, but it's not the important part of the book. The important part of the book is Amari wanting his own empire and then he gets mixed in with the mafia.

Fra en langtrukken første bog, som jeg gav 3 stjerner til en spændende anden bog som får 5 fortjente stjerner. Jeg havde meget svært ved at lægge den fra mig.
Vi kommer længere ind i det politiske spil og konflikter mellem de forskellige lande i Ovanerriget.
Bogen er, ligesom den første, delt ind i forskellige perspektiver. Hovedsageligt er det Skyriel vi følger.

Ovanerriget er plaget af en mystisk sygdom kaldet Blodbæst. Ingen kender kuren. Men måske kan den udvalgte finde den?

We're back with the gang - this time as High School seniors! (unfortunately the only mention of a kissing booth is twice).

Elle and Noah are on the long distance phrase of their relationship, and it has it's ups and lows. We're met with some of the difficulties of long distance and some of the worrying parts of long distance.
We get the usual romance drama when one is overthinking stuff and we get the “I don't know if I like you or not”-friend trope.

Even though I pummelled through this book. My weak heart for sappy romance novels just can't stop itself.

The Cassian/Feyre banter had me rolling

2.5 stars.
The spice was nice in both novellas, but the stories were the same billionaire love stories.

When I first began reading this book, I got told by some friends that you should read Tolkien like poems. They have some truth to that. It's not a book meant to rush through; sit back and enjoy the journey with our favourite Fellowship.
It's obvious by the style of writing it's an older book, so if you're not into that, don't do it.
Nonetheless give it a chance. You will not find a book full of action, but full of a journey through treacherous land where danger now lurks.

4.5 stars.
What a wild ride.
I had to put the book down around the 50% mark, as I simply couldn't continue reading. Not because the book itself was bad, but because over the span of these three books I couldn't accept that some might have to die (I've heard Maas is good at that).
From around 60% and to the end there's much more action than the beginning of the book.

It was alright, not as spicy as I thought.
The characters were kinda bland, not even our female protagonist plot twist could change that. The epilogue didn't make me want to find out what happens next.
There was chemistry between the character, but it wasn't explored very well.
