Age of Arrogance by @timwolffauthor.bsky.social
This trilogy started off good and ended great. The characters were the highlight, from Zeen's goofy optimism, Serena's obsessive dedication, David's depressive spirit that never breaks. Great balance of ups and downs too

5⭐

Tomes & Tea series by Rebecca Thorne is low-spice, but has a spicy short at the end of book 3 (I think it's book 3 at least) so the readers can get their fix. Contains a mutual masturbation scene with the girls

You won't believe this but I JUST read a mutual masturbation scene in a sapphic (not a sentence I'd ever expected to write)

Book 2 or 3 of Tomes & Tea has it at the end (series is low spice, so the author wrote a spicy short as bonus content for people to get their fix)

Ghost Flower - WOW
I didn't know what I expected out of Ghost Flower but it blew me away. The prose is beautiful, the romance is sweet, the themes/

Turns out page 25 is right where the first fight scene starts, and the first time we get to see magic used for violence instead of utility

"it must be nice to be a man
and make boring music just because you can
now don't get me wrong, I'm a fan
you're my second favorite frontman"

Such an insane line, the new Florence material is giving me life

I've always had a similar confusion when states that are in the objective center of the USA are described as "The South"

For example, Kentucky is often considered south (somehow)
Red X is approximately where I grew up (very, very south)

Last week I finished The Cruel Gods trilogy by @trudieskies.readindiefantasy.com

What an intense, heartbreaking ride, with an absolutely insane ending. I've rarely been so simultaneously frustrated with, and enamored by, characters like Kayl and Quen.

Looking forward to reading more!
