📚Rain of Shadows and Endings
✒️Melissa K. Roehrich
⭐2/5
🌶️2/5
Reddit was raving about the Legacy series so I pushed through this first book, but I just don't get it. It was 700 pages of repetitive back and forth. The characters were awful. Character development, where?
No thanks.

Had a good time with this one! Thought it was a standalone, so was getting worried about pacing and character development, but I'm glad the story's not over yet! Will be continuing with the series.

For some reason this series doesn't do it for me like Ali's other books.
Loved it to start with but the pacing seemed off. I do seem to be more critical of books lately so could just be that.

My god, this was boring. Didn't understand the plot nor the world building. I can't really tell you anything about the characters except that the MMC's personality (if I can call it that) was not consistent.

Had a reading slump - made the mistake of starting 3 different fantasy books at the same time. This one's been decidedly the best, but it still took me 2 weeks to finish.

📚In The Dream House

Usually love memoirs narrated by the author, but this narration made me want to dnf several times.
I didn't really like this book, regardless. The flowery prose was not for me and I didn't feel like I got to know the author at all.

Not a fan of the last 20% of this book. There was no need for all that.
Having now finished the duology I've realised I still don't fully understand the magic system. Might just be me.

Perfect time of year for a witchy story. Took a while to get into but I ended up enjoying all 3 POVs.
As far as horror books go, this wasn't very scary - more of a thriller/mystery with supernatural elements.

A trillion dollar company being shady? You don't say.
Hard to rate this one.
Although I knew FB was toxic, I didn't realise the extent of it. Am I shocked? No.
I do think the author is missing some self-awareness of her own complicity though.
