    Thanks for the update Tori. Just finished Light Bringer and I agree with you, easily the best book I've read this year. So many great scenes and touching moments. I've read all 6 books this year and feels like I've lived a life with these characters lol. Can't wait for Red God ❤

    I was SO SCARED going into Light Bringer but I ended up loving it a lot. I think it's my favorite in the whole series.

    I've actually not read Red Rising and really didn't plan to as I have so many books on my tbr....but your enthusiasm really is selling this series for me. I may have to add this to my goals for next year!

      Please do it! The first book is good but the weakest of the series imo. Each book just gets better and better!

    I haven’t read any of these, but Amari and the Night Brothers has been on my TBR for a while. I recently finished The House with the Golden Door, the sequel to the Wolf Den (historical fiction set in Pompeii), and I was pleasantly surprised to find I enjoyed the sequel even more than the original.

    Light Bringer was so good! I'm not over it. I don't think I will get over it. Definitely had a book hangover after finishing. Red God is now my most anticipated book.

    I agree with everything you said about the blood gift! I feel like the romance was so random, as though they were like "oh shit the romance, let me throw a bit of that in here" and the plot of of this book could have been wrapped up a lot quicker. I loved the blood trials, but there just wasn't enough character development in the blood gift, somehow Ikenna got less mature after the trials. Still a interesting world and great set up, just fell a little flat!

    I clicked on this so fast!!
    I soft DNFd Amari because it wasn't the right time, but I'm definitely planning on coming back to it!
    I'm with you on Emily Henry. I DNFd Beach Lovers...I pretty much DNF every romance I start 😂. So not the genre for me.
    Oh man off topic but I read Do You Dream of Terra Two on your recommendation and holy cow it was amazing!! In my top 3 of the year easily. I'm reading Mistborn right now also on your (and others') recommendation and it's not drawing me in right away but it's so beloved that I'm sticking with it 😁
    I love how you light up when talking about Pierce Brown books 😂🙌. Red Rising was one of the best trilogies I've ever read in my life (again thanks to your recommendation!) so I've been scared to read the second trilogy but I think now I might have to read it.

    I’m so glad I’m not the only one who didn’t like Book Lovers lol I felt it was disjointed between Libby and the love interest (forgot his name) I just didn’t care what was going on so I DNFed it. I also read Beach Read by her and didn’t care for it either so Emily Henry just isn’t for me lol so glad I’m not alone!!

    I totally agree about Book Lovers. It felt more like a story about the sisters than the romance. And her big reveal at the end was pretty underwhelming.

    I've not read Pierce Brown. Sounds like I need to pick him up. I was disappointed with Book Lovers & I love Emily Henry. Beach Reads is much better, but I get it if you're not feeling it. Looking forward to Space Opera September. Need to plan a tbr. Will there be another tome topple?
