    The magic sounds a lot like the Lockwood and Co series by Jonathan Stroud, which is such an underrated series in my opinion.

      I was thinking along those lines too, specially with the ghost issue she mentioned. I've been (kinda) looking for a replacement since I couldn't accept George's lack of development and had to give up the series (3 books as the fat, gross, useless, clumsy character? come on...)

    • @belleah5562
      @belleah5562 10 месяцев назад +2

      @@Liriodelagua I don't want to spoil anything, but I think you should finish the series out if that's your main issue. None of the characters' arcs are finished until the last book. Heck, Lucy actively regresses in her arc during book 3, and remember that the series is told in her perspective, so her view of the other characters can't grow until she grows. (There are lots of thematic elements about how people are perceived that run throughout the series as well imo.)
      Regardless of whether you decide to continue, I wish you luck in finding a series that works for you.

    Yes! 100% agree with everything you said here. I had been worried at the beginning cause of that youthful tone you mentioned but the world, magic and characters really opened up and it was just such a fun ride.

    Yes!! I loved this one! So funny story, when I got this book I was so absolutely sure you recommended it that I tried (without success) to find the (imagined) video where I heard you talk about how good it was. I never found the video (obviously) but I was so so sure you recommended it that I read it immediately and LOVED it. I have found a lot of favorites through you so I am beyond excited my 'psychic powers' worked and you actually enjoyed this one too! Have a lovely day 🌻🌟

  • @HappyHappyTaker
    @HappyHappyTaker 10 месяцев назад

    I am a pretty new viewer so I am not sure if you have ever read "The House Witch" by Delemhach. It's a fantasy with some romance sprinkled in (more so in book 2 & 3) and the action picks up by Book 3. Book 2 was a little clunky for me but overall it was a comfort read and still is because I get so immersed in the story. I thought I would share because I also like to have my characters be fully fleshed out throughout the book but I also like a bit of action and for it to not drag on forever.

    That was exactly how I felt about this book. In the beginning I was cringing a bit, because it felt so tropy, but then it just took off for me. I gave it a 4.5, if Preto had just found a way to make the beginning less cliché and cookie cutter YA "betrayal, everything is unfair" and had her fail in a more unique way, this one would have been a no question asked 5 stars.

    My face at the end of this book when I realized it was a part of a series… I literally stopped delivering the mail to be like, wait, what?? *cue furious googling* There is no current release date for follow-up novels. Good good. Great. 😂
    I will say that I found the beginning of the book to be fairly slow. There was quite a bit of info dumping in places, but unlike other novels that do this, I found the information to be necessary to the plot of book one and it would have been a struggle to get that information woven into the story in a natural way without adding additional scenes that stretched out the pacing even further.
    I also found that once we were at the outpost, the story did pick up, because the world building became more natural and while the action seemed to slow, this was easier for me to read.

    I saw this was compared to Gideon the Ninth. When you said Wren is super cocky, I can’t help but think of Gideon Nav. And of course the cover screams Gideon the Ninth. I know you started Gideon at one point. Any idea if it’s similar?
