Second read: 🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉 Five dragons
Equally as fantastic upon second read. Though I have to say it:
I think it's wild that Imogen isn't a lesbian. She has the same hair and attitude as my beloved Undercut McQueer (Vi from Arcane), and personally I think she has better chemistry with Quinn—whose weapon of choice is the symbol of Lesbianism, by the way—than with Garrick (no offence, buddy).
On to Onyx Storm 😱
First read: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five stars
Iron Flame is a fantastic book, and I loved almost every second of it. You know, until that bit at the end.
I’m mourning the loss of a character who didn’t even die. Feeling physically ill. I’m never going to emotionally recover from this.
Still it’s somehow even funnier than Fourth Wing was, and I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t half because of Ridoc. Because it was.
Don’t read this book if you value your sanity because the end is almost as brain-breaking as the end of House of Sky and Breath. I need to lie down now.
