My Thoughts

LIKE CATS AND DOGS was a cute story. I loved the concept and setting. Lauren irritated me a bit, though. I thought she was a little bit too whiny and not very empathetic to Caleb’s relationship hangups. If he had been divorced longer than a year or two, then I would’ve agreed with her.

My Thoughts

I thought AN ACADEMIC AFFAIR was a fun enemies-to-lovers and marriage of convenience romance. I liked both Sadie and Jonah. I thought it was a good look at how trauma and love can blind us to reality. I’m glad that was all sorted out in the end, though. I also liked another look at academia from a romantic POV. It’s cool that these types of stories are becoming more available.

My Thoughts

I’m so glad STOLEN MIDNIGHTS was a Book of the Month pick. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been on my radar. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I loved the setting, characters, and magic system. Wren and Damien had amazing banter, chemistry, and sexual tension. I’m so anxious to read the sequel after that ending and I can only hope this duology will turn out the way I want it to.

My Thoughts

Reading THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY four years ago was the most profound reading experience I’ve ever had. That book spoke to me like no other had. When I found out Matt Haig wrote a companion novel in the same universe I felt equal parts excitement and trepidation. Would THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN live up to the experience I had had with THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY? Yes, it most definitely would.

I related to Nora a little better than Wilbur, but I still loved his journey on the Midnight Train. I thought it was an interesting look back at his life–what it was and what it could have been (if only). I liked that Haig illustrated how much simple decisions and actions can affect our future and relationships, for the good and the bad. I also liked the idea that Wilbur was able to influence his younger self into making decisions that would ultimately help him not waste his life and focus on the wrong priorities. His journey was a good reminder to live in the now.

My Thoughts

A CURSE CARVED IN BONE was just as good as A FATE INKED IN BLOOD if not better. It was a fantastic sequel and end to this duology. I absolutely adored this series from beginning to end. I loved seeing Freya learn more about her power from Hel. I’m so smad on behalf of all the unfated from Nordeland. Harald was something else. His schemes and manipulations were horrid.
