Like I said I've finished the book but every few minutes I keep thinking I need to go back to reading it because I forget I'm done and then I get sad and also mad because I need the next book like TOMORROW. I mean, I don't think anyone expected a huge jump in quality, but it would be interesting to see what improvements the author made.

Yes, let's choose the person who schemed behind her back several times, lied, repeatedly erased her memories, and ignored her for weeks at a time? Here, a year later, with its fame mostly forgotten, I welcome the ghast of Lightlark 2 back inside my body for the sake of entertainment. deadass there was a whole scene where isla wears a small black dress fashioned EXACTLY like the one feyre wears in the court of nightmares to go outside with grim and ends up sitting on his lap. as someone who has been listening to ok computer on repeat for the last month and had lana del rey as their top spotify artist this year, i feel uniquely qualified to talk about this. As we learn more about the world, we see more people, and they're more diverse than in the first book.

She's so insecure about all of this, she almost feels like a different character from the first book, but maybe that's because she had little personality to begin with and her appeal relied on how good she was at fighting and also how sexy she is. The probably isn't the fact that it's horny, but its horniness skates along in this weird limbo gray area because of its genre, offputting and unsatisfying. There are multiple romance scenes written for the express purpose of titillation in which all the characters are adults. I finished Nightbane about 4ish hours ago, and as I sit here staring at the pancakes I'm making, I'm still daydreaming about this book.the only reason i had the strength to keep going (because otherwise i spent this whole book rage-quitting even 15 or so pages) was because i needed to know if it would fix itself. A lot of people seem very hopeful that tiktok popular kid Alex Aster will have improved and taken the critique her book received to heart. I know that sometimes just having ideas only serves the romance works fine in books, but I really kept expecting to have at least something meaningful come out of the book, and for how often those ideas were introduced, I thought that'd be it. Now, in the wake of a crushing betrayal, Isla finds herself hungry for distraction, preferring to frequent Lightlark? anyways, long story short, turns out isla was getting it on w rhysand before all the events of book 1 but things went south and so he took away her memories (after she asked him to, I KNEW IT!

did you know, radiohead copyright sued lana del rey for her song “get free” allegedly being too similar to “creep. Oro girlies we're winning battles, even though we will inevitably lose the war (a sequel has not been announced but it's probably going to get a sequel). Now, in the wake of a crushing betrayal, Isla finds herself hungry for distraction, preferring to frequent Lightlark's seductive haunts instead of embracing her duties as the newly crowned leader of two separate realms.she gets her memories back bit by bit this book—which ended up being the only enjoyable part of the book—and yeah, she ends up w rhysand. I have my criticisms about how in books like this, race only feels skin deep, but an attempt was made. The sad thing about this series is that it's not the worst thing ever, it's just stupid and incoherent. Worse, her fellow rulers haven't ceded victory quietly, and there are others in Isla's midst who don't believe her ascent to power was earned.
