I'm not really into cozy fantasy because i like my characters being tortured and suffered and betrayed (I'm sorry).
but I like a well-written and interesting cute story to have a little fun and this one was one of those beautiful stories. I could literally smell and taste everything and I loved that about the writing style.
      

        I COULD NOT SEE THAT COMING! AND THIS IS A 6 STAR READ, HOLY HELL
      

        I absolutely loved this book. The horror, the romance, the words, everything about it makes my heart ache. The twist was insane and I am still processing the ending but I'm guessing I'll never come to conclusions because it meant many things. 

"For a vicious moment, Andrew thought about slipping his fingers into Thomas's cut. Taking hold of his rib and breaking it. Pulling the soft crumbling bone from his chest and sewing it into his own. They'd be forever together, rib against rib, fused in gore and bone and adoration."
      

        It just gets better book by book. I loved it more than others. The characters, the twists, everything was on point.
      

        It is a really simple story. I enjoyed reading this book but I couldn't connect to the characters deeply. The plot was simple and there's nothing special about it. Though it is peaceful and beautiful.
      

        "Even though the Dark Queens were absent from my books, they were in plain sight throughout my childhood as the women I was warned against becoming. The wicked stepmother in my fairy tales, the haughty Jezebel who was preached against in church, the fat lady singing at the opera: all were objects of hatred or ridicule. Between the silence of suppressed history and the oppressive blare of stereotypes, what space remains?
But the ghosts of Brunhild and Fredegund refuse to stay silent. They surface relentlessly, determined to be heard.
Is this because the queens have been robbed—of a voice? Of recognition? Of a connection with the living?
Or is this because we have been robbed—of foundational narratives about female power?"
      

        Fire & Blood is a history book, except that it is actually interesting. I loved the style of writing, being a history for a fantasy world. Also this history is cruel like other works of Martin, which i really appreciate. Last but not least, the illustrations in this book are perfect and truly beautiful.
      

        WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? this book somehow managed to be the worst piece of fiction I've ever encountered. the plot is awful, the character's decisions make no sense, plot twists are shit, and quite literally everything sucks. 
Violet is somehow always in danger but every character out of nowhere manages to help her. 
How can a character be good at everything? like LITERALLY EVERYTHING. it is frustrating to see that the main character gets her way anyhow through plot points. like how can everything be at her advantage?
the author made us believe that someone bound to rules can turn into a rebellious person in mere seconds and kill his professor. yeah sure.
wat the hell is this dynamic between Violet and Xaden? the whole thing about keeping secrets and stuff did not make any sense and it was continued until the end. you are in the middle of a war and you start a childish approach toward each other? am i supposed to take you seriously? 
if you plan to read this one, just don't.
      

        a real fun read and much better than the first book because unlike the first one, I was engaging with the characters. the book still was simply impossible to put down.
      

        there are a lot of things wrong about his stories. i enjoyed them more as a kid, but now, i know they're just nonsense
      

        This one became one of my favorite books so quickly. The unique writing style that was like an interview was so perfect. I have to admit that until some point into the book, i thought The Six was an actual band and I was surprised i never heard of the band, so yeah that's what i can say about the writing. 
And the plot, it was so attractive and I loved the way that everyone had their own flaws and mistakes and their chance to fix it or just live with it. I understood the characters so well and i literally lived with them throughout the book. 
This one was a perfect picture of an American dream coming true and I'm really sad that i can never have one of those dreams coming true to reality.
      

        it was an easy read. it is heartwarming but needed more elaborations about the world and characters. the connections between them seemed unnatural and awkward. Though i loved the idea but it was not properly executed because of the style of writing. 
I still recommend it for a heartwarming and short read.
      

        a truly satisfying ending to the series. some plotlines were underdeveloped and i expected the role of Cardan in the plot to be much bigger. overall i enjoyed the finale of this series.
      

        the ending of a great series, i was too old for it but still i enjoyed every little bit of it.
      

        Taylor Jenkins Reid writes the best female characters. her characters are complex, they have flaws but they are aware of their flaws, they make mistakes, they know themselves really well and make their decisions based on who they are. and here i am, ready to EAT THAT UP. I absolutely loved this book and i absolutely love her style of writing.
