 before it all gets jumbling down. I read that. It wasn't very good. This wishes it was Cersei. It's understandable. I don't know me. I don't know what I'm going to like. So in July I read I think 19 books in DNF one or I read 20 books and I DNF one. I don't know but this stack has already fallen once and I don't fancy having it fall again. So I don't know. I will not count them. It's like 19-ish. Okay, okay. Let's do this before it all gets jumbling down. First book I read in July. If I let go, will you fall? First book that I read in July was the Stardust Thief by Chelsea Abdullah and this book I did not really like. Like at all. It was one of the most mediocre and boring books. Like I legitimately forgot that I read this until I looked at my TBR stack and I was like oh yeah. I read that. It wasn't very good. It's just extremely amateurish and dull and long and silly and just like every dumb thing that annoys that piss out of me in books is all in this book. I believe it's a debut. I'm not sure about that. It certainly feels like a debut. If it's not it really has no excuse for being this amateurish. I really wanted to like it. I really would like to find some Middle Eastern inspired fantasy that I like. This is not it though. It's definitely not it. I've seen a lot of people liking it. So you know, don't listen to me. A lot of people like it. But if you're super picky like me, then probably don't read it. The first three books were big disappointments. So just trying to get through those. Next book I read was when this guy fell on Splendor by Emily Henry. I picked this up quite a while ago or I mean I acquired it quite a while ago because it was like right after I read Beach Read and that was my very first Emily Henry book and I loved Beach Read. So I was like I must have this author's backlist. So this in particular called out to me at the time because this was compared to Stranger Things and I love Stranger Things. I was going to say I'm wearing my Stranger Things shirt but I wore that for a different video that I filmed today. Anyway, yes I love Stranger Things. I really love Beach Read so I was like an author who I like writing a thing that's reminiscent of another thing that I like. That sounds great. This was another two star book because it was the execution was it was a little more invested and intrigued than I was by Stardust Thief. Like the characters grabbed me a little bit more, not a lot more. And the story itself at first I was like um this is like pretty cliche slash stupid but like we'll see where it goes. Maybe that has a decent enough explanation or a decent enough conclusion but no like the the resolution to this is the reveal for like what has been going on. The Stranger Things esque thing you know the supernatural. It's also kind of like Super 8 from the movie um or just like a lot of stuff like that. I mean Stranger Things is itself like reminiscent of many other things so you know there's like a small town paranormal things going on you get the vibe and like the paranormal thing that's going on it's um like at first you know it's like an intriguing mystery right you know you're like I want to know what's happening or when you find out what's happening it's not just like oh it's disappointing now that you know it's quite stupid like extremely stupid um like I was like probably I was thinking like probably like three stars for most of it I was like I don't hate this but you know it's not great and then when I got to the end and found out what had been happening I was like oh no. Unfortunately this was a big big big big miss for me but you know I continue to read Emily Henry books I've got her new book book lovers um on my on deck to be read on point soon. Next up is another book that constantly gets lumped in with an author that I love and that is the Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker the author that I love with whom this gets lumped is obviously or perhaps not obviously but I think pretty obviously Madeleine Miller I really haven't liked anybody else's stuff that's like Madeleine Miller so or that's considered to be like Madeleine Miller anyway this is a retelling of not the whole love but part of the Iliad but from the perspective of the female characters um yeah it's um people call it feminist I don't think it's very feminist people call it you know what are these I don't know the I feel like the people when I saw people talking about it you know it was like oh it's like Madeleine Miller and it's like a a great twist on this like classic mythic story and so brilliant to see it from the perspective of the females that aren't usually centered in these stories and like that's what Cersei is and Cersei is great this wishes it was Cersei like all of the attempts at like feminist conversation they're so like surface level and obvious slash also not quite in keeping with the world with a greek like understanding of the world like it feels extremely like I mean I don't know we've seen a lot of like sort of like western christianized versions of greek myths I remember in particular watching the book of virtues tv show when I was a kid on pbs and it was like you know a bunch of different fables for kids like life lessons and things like that and it would show stories from the bible and it would show stories from greek mythology and it would show asops fables and things like that they were quite a western christianized version when they were talking about greek and roman myth and then like you know disney's hercules is again a quite you know western christianized version of greek kind of stories and greek gods I mean the fact that like hercules' parents are in a monogamous relationship you're like that's absolutely not true this wasn't like disney's hercules but I don't know it just felt like it didn't really have anything interesting to say like I don't know how else to say it like just if you take a story you tell it from the perspective of a female instead you know to get an existing story and existing myth and existing play and existing whatever and the only thing you've done is to tell it from the perspective of a female but there's like nothing no reason to have done that you know like there's no there's no like interesting twist to what's going on by doing that there's no like interesting new perspective that that creates it's more just like huh yeah we do always focus on the men huh but like that's that's it like that's really all that there wasn't I didn't get anything out of this there wasn't anything any food for thought you know it was just like yeah okay we focus on the women who are like we're the ones that suffer and the men are the ones that get the glory yeah never heard that before so I just like you know like dark descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein tells the story of Frankenstein from the perspective of Elizabeth Levenza and that is one of the best books I've ever written in my life because not only does it fully understand Frankenstein and pay a great respect to the original source material it also has something interesting to say when we tell it from the perspective of Elizabeth instead a character that is practically not a character in the original story telling it from her perspective is a project it's not just like what have we told her from the girl's perspective like no like it completely recontextualizes the entire story of Frankenstein and it is brilliant so well done Cersei by Madeline Miller which is you know more akin to this because it's Greek Roman type stuff uh existing mythic figures the character of Cersei and telling it from her perspective well done brilliantly done very thought-provoking very beautifully written this had nothing to say beyond exactly what you would expect without ever having read it the next book I read um was a surprise delight and that was the queen of the tearling by Erica Johansson I have the entire queen of the tearling trilogy and everyone tells me that it gets shitty like the last I don't know if the second book is bad but that for sure the conclusion of the trilogy is quite bad it was very disappointing because I really really enjoyed the queen of the tearling I'd heard a lot of great things about queen of the tearling which is why I had gone ahead and just purchased all three books when they were coming out because I was pretty confident that I would like it and having read just the first one if I hadn't talked to anybody I'd be like this is gonna be a great trilogy like fantastic so I'm very upset to help you to hear that if I continue with this series I will guaranteed be disappointed because I really really enjoyed Queen of the Tearling I was I found I don't think this is why I think it was one of those books that was like lumped in with YA all the time because it's got queen in the title and it's a biofemale author and therefore it's YA and the protagonist is like pretty young not like a child you know not but she's like a youngish protagonist I mean it says an untested young princess must claim her throne so like people are like oh that's YA but I believe this is not YA yeah it's published by harper not harper teen so it isn't doled but anyway like there are so many books that have like queen or princess in the title and it's some young queen young princess who's coming into her own and like those stories are a dime a dozen but this book had some fairly unique royal building and some legitimately good like political situation navigating like I've again read books like that where like this young queen is thrust into the situation where there's like a tough political situation but it's like not very well thought out and pretty straightforward and like the challenge the queen was faced like I must do something for the people but like sacrifice the romance that I want to have oh no like you know it's some bullshit like this is legitimately a kind of a kind of gray situation with like a lot of different competing interests that would be difficult to navigate in addition to just sort of like secrets that have been kept from her that she's trying to figure out there is some magic it's I believe a post apocalyptic world so I'm not exactly sure how magic that's into that but I was looking very curious to find out I'm I'm guessing maybe that's what makes the ending stupid is like some reveal to do with that because I don't mean this beginning is so promising that I'm like already trying to like prepare myself for like okay so how's it gonna fuck it up like what's it gonna do wrong which part of this is going to like utterly fail to stick the landing I don't know I do want to finish the trilogy because the first one is really really solid really solid so yeah I enjoyed this I'm just sad that apparently I'm not gonna enjoy the rest of it the next book that I read was Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons I read Hyperion the month before and I had started Fall of Hyperion in June so I finished Fall of Hyperion and I didn't like it as much as Hyperion some of what I said about like where I was worried about where this was going it kind of did go up there it's very very spoilery and complicated so I can't really can't really say even if I wanted to it'd be a lot to explain but basically we get sort of more complete answers for some of the mysteries that are set up in the first book and the answers are sort of kind of where I was afraid they would go but overall I still really enjoyed it and overall I still think it's very very impressive and definitely you know complex and interesting ways it does some stuff that I find very irritating beyond just the ending and the answers um especially as concerns the AI there's an AI that's in the first book and in this book and a lot to do with that AI in particular is very irritating to me and it's in the stacks so I'll get to it but there's another book that is far worse than this um but that irritated the piss out of me last month for similar reasons this is a much much better version of that but still irritates me so I like it I don't I gave it four stars um I gave Hyperion five and I do intend to read the rest of the Hyperion books but uh definitely liked the first book better next up I read well let's do them together I reread Red Country into our pens is the first law read-along that we're doing on the podcast me and Bethany uh that's we did both of these together in July and the podcast episode for that is up on the the podcast channel I'll leave the link down below we were joined by Ben from Overly Average Ben and it was honestly such an amazing discussion I really really enjoyed that discussion which was a pleasant surprise because Red Country is my least favorite first law book I love sharp ends and Red Country is good don't get me wrong but it's definitely not my favorite one and I just we had some it was really amazing just like it had a lot to unpack for us and uh in particular because we had quite different takes on it and quite different opinions about certain aspects of it so there was a lot of food for discussion more than I expected like we could have talked for like twice as long as we did we cut ourselves off because we were trying to keep it to an hour so anyway I'll leave that link down below if you haven't seen it and yeah I mean this uh I get up to my rating for Red Country before we had our conversation to four stars because I realized that 90 at least 90 percent of my favorite first law quotes like the quotes that I send to people and I'm trying to convince them to read first law quotes that I'm like this is a great example of what Abercrombie can do here's a quote that should go on a mug 90 percent of those quotes are in red country and I was like that's not nothing so even this is my least favorite story it's got some of the best words in all of first law in my opinion but anyway so yeah I did enjoy three read and I definitely definitely enjoyed discussing it with Bethany and Ben so check out our conversation if you would like the next book I read I don't know a physical copy of but that was Morning Glory milking farm by Samet Neskasta I think this is the author I have an entire vlog of me reading it and then there's about uh the blades and bodice book club which was the entire reason that I read it we had our discussion on Mara's channel so I pretty much said all I have to say about that book I hated it I had all kinds of problems that I did not expect to have if you're not familiar at all you haven't seen that vlog don't know what this is it is Monster Erotica about a millennial who gets a job at a milking farm where minotaurs are being milked and in a romance ensues my problems with this book I mean I expected to have problems with this book but my main problems with this book were not even to do with the erotic nature of it so I hated it but not what not for the reasons that I thought I would so anyway uh check out my vlog check out our chat on Mara's channel or don't save yourself a couple of hours and just forget this book ever existed next is another book that I read with Mara and that is Fool's Fate by Robin Hobbs this is the third and final book in the 20 man trilogy she and I are planning to have a chat on my channel to talk about tawny man now that we finished it and it's sort of like where we're at in our journey through the realm of the elderlings sort of check in uh and then hopefully you know we'll check in again after rain wild and then check in when we when we finish the realm of the elderly so anyway we finished tawny man we did the thing uh she and I have chatted about it just amongst ourselves we have a lot of thoughts about how tawny man ended a lot of thoughts and she and I are pretty much in agreement um on those thoughts but a lot to unpack with sort of choices that were made with the series and with this book in particular we both enjoyed it but but not without asterisks so i'm very much looking forward to having that chat and I mean I did enjoy Fool's Fate but but it uh ended up giving it a four stars and not five because of because of my thoughts next up I read the veiled throne with my patrons by Ken Liu because we are reading along readalonging buddy reading the dandelion dynasty me and my patrons um and everyone told me that I would hate veiled throne but just to like to accept it that I will hate it and then look forward to speaking bones and um veiled throne is possibly my favorite book in the dandelion dynasty so clearly no one knows me I mean I forgive you it's understandable I don't know me I don't know what I'm going to like or even what I do like but yeah I was pleasantly surprised because I went into this going like okay apparently this is the one that I have to suffer through and just accept that before I get to what is good again in speaking bones um but I loved veiled throne I really really did and the part of it I mean I was halfway through and I was like I'm loving this I don't know why all y'all said I was gonna hate it and then those who had already read it they're like no no no we didn't think you'd hate the first half you haven't gotten to the thing that we think you're gonna hate just wait do you're gonna hate it and then I finished it I was like um no I loved it second half too possibly my favorite so I remain an enigma to myself and to everyone else but I really enjoyed it I get why other people wouldn't as much as I'm able to understand anyone's opinion other than my own I don't really get why people thought that I would hate it though like I get why this the second half of this book would be one of those like hit or miss kind of things where it's not like everyone's gonna love this where you're like the second half you might like it you might not but I don't know why everyone was like oh you in particular liana you specifically you will hate the second half of veiled throne and I did I loved it can't really tell you why because I'm not even because it's spoiler because this is the third book in a series I'd have to explain so much to explain to you how we got to the point that we did and why people thought I would hate that and why I actually liked it but anyway looking forward to chatting about this with my patrons uh we haven't had a chat about it yet but we will soon. Next up is the book that I DNF'd and that was Keeper of Night by Kylie Lee Baker this is my second time DNF'ing it I got the audiobook from the library like a while ago and I started it and I was like I'm not into this right now and then like my hold on it lapsed so I got it again from the library now because it's a book of the month club book and I like to check those off I was like okay let's try that again so I got a little further this time in the audiobook because I was determined to actually read it this time and I was like no I don't like this and I'm not going to like this I already know that nothing's going to change that I don't like it I'm not gonna like it I don't want to film a review for it I don't have that much to say about it I just don't like it I think it's pretty amateurish and clunky and I don't I don't want to read this so I DNF'd it like a boss. Next up is another book of the month club book that I did actually finish I started reading it physically when I first got it and then like accidentally DNF'd it I just like put it down and it didn't finish it in that month and TBR's being TBR's it just then wasn't on my TBR the next month so I just I just never finished it but not like because I DNF'd it. So I got the audiobook from the library for this as well and that is A Burning by Mega Majumdar and this book I think is quite good but I think it's too short like it's way too short because it's kind of it's a breakneck pace like this is paced the way that a film is paced and a film could get away with this uh short amount of like this such a short story with like the scenes kind of just like skip through you know you kind of like the important scenes and like nothing else and nothing in between which is what you have kind of have to do with a film but a film is able to like really maximize each of those scenes by like using camera angles and you know actors acting and music and things like that to really get as much out of each of those scenes as possible but here it was like the amount of scenes you'd get in a film but without all of the impact that a film is able to sort of like suck out of every single scene so this is a screenplay I'd be like this would be a great film but it was just too short and the points it was making just like couldn't marinate or give you the impact like I barely felt like I knew these characters because we were introduced to them and then the main events of the story like immediately start taking place like before you know them at all before you even like I barely figured out who is who before the events before the sort of catalysts happen and massive life changes happen it's just too fast it's way too fast and then not enough space in between to kind of like sit with the characters and see how this is affecting them it was it's too short it's too fast so it didn't like it didn't have the impact it didn't punch me in the heart the way that it should have because what's happening like it is pretty devastating it is really fucking devastating and I just I wish it hadn't kind of like fast forwarded me like whipped me through um this pretty dark uh an important story on this is uh what is it it's I haven't said it all if you don't know what it is it's not fantasy it is a contemporary lit pick I guess uh it takes place in India and it's to do with freedom of speech about politics about selfishness about just you know sort of the shittiness of people yeah it was it was good but too too short too fast uh next up I read these uh I got these from the library so that's why one of them is still wrapped in plastic um but I'd gotten bonecrier's moon from alcrate a long time ago and I was like before I just toss it but by toss it I mean like sell it or donate it let's get the audiobook from the library and like actually see if it's any good because it's a it's a very very pretty book and the alcrate edition in particular that's got gold pages and the like it's like shimmery and stuff and I was like it's very pretty so I was like hit the audience in the library see how it is before you just toss it and I devoured it one night and immediately and I was like does is the second book are available from the library and there was no weight on it so I immediately started listening to the second one and then finished at the next day so like in less than 24 hours I'd read both and then uh ordered because I didn't have it the alcrate matching exclusive to edition which they released later so I'd gotten this because I was subscribed to their box at the time I'm not anymore so I had to just come in my box but like they separately released this and I remember being like I haven't read the first one I'm not even if I like it and I was like I'm not ordering that and it's purple I still am upset that it's purple it's not nearly as pretty as that's what it might be because it's purple but uh I wanted a matching set because I really really enjoyed this I think the second one is not as good it's not because it's purple but the first one I really really really enjoyed a lot more than I thought I thought about filming a separate standalone video for this but then I was like eh eh like I really shouldn't like these books um the first one in particular because it has like everything that I hate if you put you know like a bullet list I'd be like it has enemies to lovers which I do not like it has faded mate bond kind of romance which I hate it's got a chosen one can not to like that it's got a love triangle definitely don't like that yeah so like I just and I remember hearing what the premise was like what the setup is like what what these characters their situation is and thinking that sounds contrived as hell and really stupid and I still think it is contrived but it works and I really like the characters and I like really like their dialogue and it just worked for me like I absolutely devoured it like I don't think it's great like I don't think this is like this is what YA code should be I'm just like sometimes these tropes sometimes they just work and I haven't heard the very positive reviews for this or like I haven't heard anybody low or love this which is another reason I was like uh well I guess I'll read it before I give up on it but I really enjoyed it it's just like it just hit right place right time I was in the mood and I just marathoned it the second one I didn't hate it I just didn't think it was as good as the first one but I think this was four stars this was three stars I had I had a great time it was fun reading these so I guess I recommend if you're in the mood or something like that but um they're not they're not great but I had a good time so you know if you've already got it like I did then try it next up I read Endless Night by Agatha Christie I read this because I've seen several times the the adaptation of it that was they did it as a miss marvel even though miss marvel is not actually in Endless Night I saw that when they first aired it like when it first came out and then I've watched it a couple times since then and I just recently rewatched it again because that had been a minute and I was like yeah I'll watch that again I was like I'm pretty sure I remember what happened in it it won't be like I have forgotten so it'll be like new no I was I was pretty sure I remember what happened but after I finished watching it this like fourth time or whatever probably I was like I wonder because I was like I know I'm I'm also fairly certain Matt that miss marvel is not in this story originally they did a few like that where they like they did a marvel episode but that's not actually a marvel book it is an Agatha Christie mystery but it's they've just like stuck miss marvel into an existing mystery so actually I read The Secret of Chimneys last year I think for the same reason because I've just recently rewatched The Secret of Chimneys and I was like oh yeah I should read this I'm pretty sure miss marvel's not in it even though she's in this so anyway I was like yeah I want to read Endless Night because Endless Night is really like the adaptation of it I was like this is very chilling it's the darkest marvel adaptation for sure I remember every time I've watched it I've been like this is this is really dark this is dark as fuck how is this a marvel marvel is cozy this is not cozy and God be wondering though I was like well this isn't a marvel story so I was like I wonder how much they changed like I wonder if it even is this dark like the original story like I wonder how different it is and I was like you know what I'll read it so that's why I read Endless Night and to my surprise the adaptation with miss marvel in it is extremely loyal to the original story which is crazy like you would think that's not possible because well for one they've stuck miss marvel in it like how loyal could it be but it really is because like I remember you know it's pretty obvious like when you watch it you're like if someone tells you oh yeah this isn't originally a marvel story you'd be like yeah I could have guessed that because she's hardly in it miss marvel is barely in that one they basically just did an adaptation of Endless Night and then for the key scenes invented a reason for miss marvel to kind of like be around in the background or to like be passing by when something happens and then like to have her towards the end like show up and like do the explaining of what happened in this mystery but she's barely in it um so the adaptation with miss marvel is actually like an extremely faithful adaptation and it does make one really important change and I like that change a lot and it's not I mean obviously they put miss marvel in it doesn't change but that's not what I'm talking about they did something else we're like it's basically they took two things that already are in Endless Night they both already exist in Endless Night and in the adaptation they connected them they like added in something that would connect those two things I'm being vague because in case I don't want to spoil anything if you haven't seen it or read it and I really like that choice I liked that they took what was already there and they were like you know how much more would add to this story if we connected those two things that are already there um so great idea um I really like the adaptation I really like the book I would probably like the book slightly more if I hadn't seen the adaptation not just because I liked the choice and it was that it wasn't actually in the book but also because I already knew the ending I already knew the mystery I already knew the answer to the riddle um so I wonder how it would have felt if I didn't know but I remember watching the adaptation and being shocked the first time so I probably would have felt similarly reading this the first time if I had not ever seen an adaptation before so anyway very good very short very dark and the adaptation is good next up is the book that my patrons chose for me to read and vlog for them and I shorted in I gave them an hour and a half long vlog of me ranting about the long way to a small angry planet by Becky Chambers I expected to not love this I expected this to be a book that I would feel meh about that I would disappoint people because I would be like I don't get the appeal I didn't care for it it's not my cup of tea and I expected that to be you know a 20 minute vlog in which I'm like you know I just it's not for me um but instead I chopped down like three hours of footage into an hour and a half of ranting about this book because they hated this book so much this isn't a situation where I'm like it's just I don't get it it's kind of boring whatever no fucking hate this book I despise it in the vlog I was like I know Norwegian would is worse right now this feels worse yeah um because I mean Norwegian would came to mind because this isn't just a book where I'm like I don't get it I really don't understand people like this no I'm like genuinely kind of upset to learn that people like this and like it a lot and it's really really popular and like the people that do like it I'm like I I'm sorry but I think less of you now I can't help it I'm sorry and that's many people this is really really popular but this was this book deeply upset me I was I was livid so yeah that's a one star um and no from me the next book that I read was pillars of creation by Terry Goodkind for the sort of truth read along the live show where this was on Bethany's channel and I really really enjoyed this the second time I remembered liking it the first time like not loving it like it wasn't an all-time favorite anything but I remember it I was like I think I remember enjoying that one and I did really enjoy the second time there's I think it's too long there are some things about it that I would be fine with not having in there or at least less of but I really enjoyed it and I really had a good time talking about it with Bethany on her channel so if you missed it you know the replay is available to you I'll leave a link down below yeah I'm not really looking forward to Naked Empire the next one I remember I remember that one not doing it for me so much so that I stopped reading the books not because I hated it but I just you know anyway so this is the last one that I remember quite enjoying and I did enjoy it I was glad I enjoyed it the second actually more than the one that had been my former favorite that one I didn't enjoy as much on this one I enjoyed more so yeah that's Pillars of Creation next up I read Cricut House by Agatha Christie the reason that I read this and in general I was interested in reading it but the audiobook that I got of Endless Night from the library for some reason was an audiobook that was like combined both Endless Night and Cricut House and because I wanted to get Endless Night I was like okay well I'll get this one and I finished Endless Night and then I had other stuff that I need to read like Pillars of Creation for the live so I didn't have time to go on and read Cricut House but I was like I've still got it I was like let's read Cricut House too and I have seen the movie Cricut House the newest one the one with Glen Close and so I was like I wonder how loyal that is as an adaptation and I am happy to report that the adaptation of it is extremely loyal obviously they take some liberties and make some changes and make some scenes and it's more cinematic and dramatic and some of the relationships between people have more tension and more drama and the climax of the film is much more sort of like big and like an action set piece more not an action set it is an action set piece but anyway other than that though like the story is the same pretty much the twists are pretty much the same the answer is the same it's just you know made more dramatic and Hollywood in the film and it's a good film in my opinion so I really enjoyed reading the book it's a good mystery I really really enjoyed like it's again one of those I should read a christie where I don't know the end because like I remember when I watched Cricut House the first time I've seen it a couple times the first time I watched it I was like what that I was dead did not see that coming as like the twist or the the answer to the mystery so I'm guessing I probably would have felt that way reading this the first time but I already knew so mostly I was like I wonder if it's the same or if they changed it and if they did change it how much they changed and they didn't change it so I was like okay so it's like them like the movie so that means like I couldn't be surprised because I already knew but I was happy to learn that the film had been accurate so anyway I did enjoy it and I think I would have loved it if I didn't know the twist and the last book that I read in July at long long last finally finished jade war by hondily this is the second book in the green bone saga I'm intending to read jade legacy in august for realsies it took me for I started jade war I read like the first half of it a couple months ago and then just you know had other books that were obligations for this on the other that kept getting in the way of me finishing jade war because jade war wasn't as anything that I had like a live or a buddy read or anything that for so I finally finished it because I had finished all my obligation books for July and I was like I'm freezing jade war and it's all good it's so good it's so good I'm gonna film a review for it soon so good oh my god it people say legacy is better like how this is all good five stars love it love it love it yeah I I mean it's a it's a second book so when I film review I will probably do you know non-spoiler and spoiler because it's hard to talk about no spoilers because most of what happens it's a second book so even the starting point is kind of spoilery so anyway um non-spoiler I love it five stars it's amazing can't wait to be horrified by reading jade legacy promises to be brutal and those are all the books that I read in July let me know your thoughts and feelings about my thoughts and feelings whatever you want to let me know I post videos on Saturdays other random times of all the dot things Saturdays I'll like and subscribe join my patreon if you feel so inclined and I'll see you when I see you bye
