also, the author has never been under anaesthesia cause of course you dream before waking up? what kind of dumb point was that “uhh my creepy dream wasn’t a dream cause people under anaesthesia don’t dream”. what bullshit. google is free please use it. ...more
i like one (1) romance trope with all my heart and soul, only one (1) that makes me vibrate at frequencies i expect nothing and i'm still disappointed
i like one (1) romance trope with all my heart and soul, only one (1) that makes me vibrate at frequencies previously unknown to man, only one (1) that makes me regularly cry my eyes out, and i don't even ask for much, just a decent second chance romance that has all the sorrow and heart ache and yearning and longing that comes with it. i am literally quite easy to please:
"One dance. Remember?" "Yes." I dipped my head, wishing I had the power to turn back time. "But I have a final request. A kiss. Just one." She closed her eyes. "Dom..." "For old time's sake," I repeated, the words mere tatters in the tiny space between us.
just A FINAL request. just ONE kiss. for OLD TIMES sake. - fantastic!!! i am already tearing up!! old time sake guys!!! just one!!!! the DEVASTATION. the DEFEAT. the DESPAIR. claps myself on the back for coming up with so many words starting with a D
i actually quite enjoyed the first part. it seemed like it would deliver on the pain i was asking for.
but instead of keeping up the momentum of heartbreak and devastation and them learning to love each other again i just get a shitty brother subplot (why the fuck was he there?? what was the point of this??? the last ten percent?? why on earth?? am i a joke to you??) and the path to forgiveness being made entirely of sex.
where is the romance in that. where is the heart break. where is the suffering. where is the passion. where is the yearning. where is the longing. where is the begging for forgiveness. where is the slow build up of trust. where is the falling back in love with each other. yeah sure, you never fell out of it, and yet, in a good second chance romance it would hit you with a vengeance.
"I just want a sexual relationship with you" "That works for me."
yeah? does it? you allegedly love your (ex)wife but, yeah sure, just fucking is okidoki, as long as i get an orgasm out of it who cares lol. WHERE'S YOUR FIGHTING SPIRIT MAN. and i don't mean you punching two guys for daring to look at her - what else did you do to prove you deserve her back?
Fucking, apparently.
or as I would say:
Fucking nothing.
TL;DR: Never write a second chance romance again, Ana Huang, I don't think you know what it means. ...more
wayyyy too horny for my taste. like i get it, i would also fuck him, but those two were simping for each other way too extremely and way too early. itwayyyy too horny for my taste. like i get it, i would also fuck him, but those two were simping for each other way too extremely and way too early. it might be my fault for going in with the wrong expectations but i thought this would be some intense high fantasy and not a guide to getting laid by a muscular man with a sword.
also minus stars because every men in this smelled like gingerbread which was a fact that was mentioned approximately 53738632 times and i am allergic to gingerbread and also easily annoyed....more

i am stuck between this series making me fall in love with fantasy again and the fact that the pacing of the lastwhat a frustrating reading experience
i am stuck between this series making me fall in love with fantasy again and the fact that the pacing of the last two books was just horrendously bad
especially this book was just about of 350 pages worth of exposition. there were so many flashbacks, it was basically a where are they now - i don't care, i literally saw them yesterday maybe the where are they now thing works if you literally waited ten years for this book to get published but even then, GET TO THE FUCKING STORY
the problem of course is that when shades of magic is good it's REALLY GOOD. frustratingly so. i could not tear my eyes off the page for the last 100 pages. but i fell asleep twice during the first 400.
i will continue with the series because it makes me go brrr and bark bark and shshhsgsdh (i am so good at expressing emotions) and while it made me fall in love with fantasy again, i also know that i will not find another fantasy i like any time soon. but i will also keep complaining if the pacing doesn't improve.
quite frankly, the only way to read fantasy is to completely latch onto a secondary character and play where is waldo with every installment. with the difference that when you find waldo you completely start losing your shit. and with that we come to the main part of the review:
the only thing i hate more than a bad book is a bad book that has its moments
like what the fuck am i supposed to do with this. this was a snoozefest. the only thing i hate more than a bad book is a bad book that has its moments
like what the fuck am i supposed to do with this. this was a snoozefest. boring. abysmal. the middle part was straight up unreadable.
but then you give me moments like the one between rhy and alucard at the end. or the other one at the end where you literally rip out my heart and make me cry into my dinner for an hour straight and what the fuck? now you want me to care? i have never been this angry at something.

more trans authors writing weird and fucked up coming out stories, it’s my favourite genre :)
