The world and characters were very immersive, but I already knew what was going to happen about 1/3 of the way through. About halfway through it felt like a loop of miscommunication on top of reliving traumatic flashbacks over and over. I still enjoyed it overall, but it sits at a 3.5 for me.

Just finished Monsoon Rising and...it's a trilogy!? 😭

Like that's fine. I was just waiting for things to wrap up and found myself in a cliffhanger. Ughhh.

I still somehow enjoyed it more than the first book.

It's been a week. I almost gave my dog a whole week's worth of food for dinner. Haha

Someone mentioned to me that this was a parody of romantasy. Is this true? If so I'll give it a higher star rating because if so then it's genius. If no...then definitely knot for me. 🙃

Weather is smoke.

Had an absolute blast at Dragonsteel convention this year. I can't believe I got to meet BOTH Robin Hobb and Brandon Sanderson!

I never expected I'd go to a book convention, but I had such a great time. :)

My two beans at the vet. The white bean is 10 this year! 😱 He still acts like he did when we got him at 3 tho. He's probably healthier now than when we first got him too. The vet and techs love them. ❤️

Seems like a good first post.
