#forbidden wing

I cant talk about this book enough. Again another book that recently came out so not to many spoilers.......but if you love Robin hood you're gonna love this book. If you are a mixed girl, you will love this book(iykyk). If you love romance and deep lore, you will love this book. And if you love nonbianry reps, witty, gay side characters, and big ol Teddy bears who dont talk with hearts of steel.....then you'll will love this book. This book follows Marian, and how she goes on an identity journey, a stregnth journey, and more than anything a self love journey. So far this year, I haven't resonated with a book on this level, but I was balling by the last 5 chapters, and then i was balling harder. I, as always, tried to tandem read this but had to turn the audiobook off because.....i just had to get into it on my own. I did relisten to it as India Amarteifio is the narrator, and shes incredible, but this deserved its own read and thats why it took me so long to put this out. Erynne Rivers is new to my radar and had forbidden wing not taken me in like an unhoused puppy, I may not have picked this up for a while. Thank the Goddess for them.....because she is an incredible writer. The way she writes, is captivating. It draws you in and you cannot leave, like a fox who made her way into a warm house, not like a prisoner...its like you want to stay......like you choose to stay. So overall: a 10/10.

This one was new for me. I got it in my forbidden wings box and I was like....I love Welsh things....Right? Upon that realization, came to the conclusion.....i dont actually partake in many Welsh things, so that excited me even more. The unknown is scary but also intriging........But i do love dragons and the girl looked like a bard so I was sold. The book came, it was gorgeous and there was an audiobook so I got it, and I got strapped in for the ride......and i was not disappointed. I was in tears in the end. It had everything, beautiful story, a great Fmc/Mmc, Dragons, twists that i didnt expect and a cliffhanger that had me balling more over that, and yelling no. She has a poetic way of writing that was perfect, like I was enthralled. It was also fantastically paced, I wasnt bored at any point, which sometimes with stories like this is unavoidable, like we are on a journey and sometimes our journeys have to get boring but because of what we were doing and going through there wasnt a chance to get bored while also not over packing us. I beleive Catrin felt this like a song when she wrote is and I cant wait for this composer of an author to drop another one✨️ overall, 7/10

I adored this book. I had just finished a series that was really intense and needed something lighter to read right after, and i think i found a gem. I was sick, emotional, and this book made me so happy. Its such a bubbly book, all i can do was smile. I will not include many spoilers as it just came out on July 7th, but i will give you these little morsels. I enjoyed the main characters alot and their relationship, trying to navigate their differences and understand each other. I enjoyed the amount of spice, since it is a big part of the plot but it didnt feel messy. I enjoyed the FMC, and the MMC singularly and their own personal growth. The audiobook was a fun listen, i tandem read as per us. And ultimately what sold me on this was not just them. The secondary and minor characters have such....personality, and it nice to enjoy their lives too. I feel sometimes the secondary and minor characters, are forgotten a bit so its nice even when they arent on the page, to get thought about st least. They are so cute, and i love their banter, as well as the main characters. I heard there was going to be a second book and im excited if there is, but i love how this currently can be read as a stand alone and im satisfied with that🩷💙💜 so we'll give it a 8/10💜

I guess I'll be adding MY BIG FAT VAMPIRE WEDDING to my tbr.
