    Love this one. I struggle to write negative book reviews because I very often DNF early on if I'm bored with a book. I hate the thought of leaving a negative review for something I barely read. Although I don't think I have given any books 5 stars this year yet lol

    I agree with being able to leave negative reviews on platforms etc, but I do think if it’s under like 2/3 stars, the author shouldn’t be directly tagged in the post! Make the review, but you don’t need to direct the author to your negative words about it xx

    I personally disagree with the reviews comment. I was told that when you leave a negative review (low stars) it doesn't matter to the company you bought it from but it does impact the author negatively so if the review is an opinion it's probably best unsaid on websites but perfectly okay to talk about on your platform etc where the author won't be directly affected. Hope that makes sense. I love your videos 😊 xx

    I really REALY wanted to love this series. I loved fourth wing, that was recommended on TikTok, so when this series was all over my fyp I was excited. I felt for so long that maybe, because I’m a new reader, I was just at a low level of reading, or that it was something that I didn’t understand. It’s great to hear someone else who felt this way about this book. Also you do get LGBT representation at a really terrible attempt at a token bisexual arch in a main character that didn’t show anything that would even hint at until until the ‘big reveal’ right at the end of the 3rd book.

    Completely agree with you - so trashy and toxic, I loved that and needed to know what happened next!! However, I was SO disappointed with the ending 😅 I couldn’t even remember who the hell the character was. I think because of this, the twist did not have me shocked or emotional. I think it’s because there were so many side characters which weren’t developed at all, they meant nothing to me😂 I’m still going to read the rest though🤩
