Alis doing “chores” around the Spring Court to eavesdrop:
You can’t tell me this didn’t happen.
All the sexual tension in A Court of Silver Flames:
Nesta and Cassian be simmering
I finally finished painting the shadowsinger, Azriel from the ACOTAR series by Sarah J Maas!
I picture Az as that quiet kid with tats and a leather jacket on his days off, and practical armour and leather pants on the job

“I’ve been looking for you.”
I’m late to the ACOTAR bandwagon but I promise I’m coming in strong… I can’t stop thinking about these damn faerie books.
1. A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J Maas. 1/5
2. The Liars Key by Mark Lawrence 3.5/5
3. The Wheel of Osheim by Mark Lawrence 3.5/5
4. The Lies of Lock Lamora by Scott Lynch 5/5
5. Red Seas under Red Skies by Scott Lynch 5/5
6. The Republic of Thieves by Scott Lynch 5/5
7. Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence 2/5
I read quite a bit of fantasy this month so I will probably need to go up into space in June. May was definitely a mixed month when it came to reading, starting off with the biggest disappointment going and then meeting my new fave Lock Lamora (Where is the rest of this fandom?!)
Worst Book
Ive seen a lot of commentary on ACOFAS and now I’m going to put my oar in too. A court of frost and starlight was so, so disappointing for me. I love Sarah’s books, I will always read Sarah’s books and when I criticise the books it not a criticism on Sarah m’kay? A Lot of people complained that she got the characters wrong but i would argue that the characters were the best aspect of the novella. Nesta’s character was the best thing about the book and props to Sarah for having the balls to represent what real trauma looks like and not having her run away with cassian and live happily ever after. She’s the most interesting character Sarah has got right now and I can’t wait to see where she takes her. That is where the good ends for me. There was no real plot, i was waiting for it to get somewhere and bam the book was finished. It feels like a money making book rather than a labor of love and it actually read like a draft rather than a finished piece. I don't know if it was rushed or what but Sarah should know better than to mix first person with third person. That really jarred the reading experience for me. Okay I’m going to stop ranting about this now, don’t come for me okay.
Best Book
On the Flip side. Holy Mother Forking God, Scott Lynch you clever bastard. Why have i not read these books before? The Gentlemen Bastard sequence is fire , it has taken over my life. READ IT. The world building is on par with Sanderson’s Stormlight Archives and is so inspiring for a writer to read such an engrossing, fully fleshed world. The characters are fantastically flawed but lovable all the same. If you liked Six of Crows you will love this. I was so gutted when i realised the next book isn’t out until next year but then again it means i can reread them all. Bastards 4 lyf .
Well that was disappointing

nobody cares but I want to talk about this book so here I go…
Spoilers ahead duh
1. Part one- meeting the characters I’ve been waiting to read about for four years was great!
2. Scene between Alastair and Cordelia at the end where Alastair talks about his father
3. Any scene with Will or Tessa, when Jamie “died”, engagement, Lucie and Matthew talking about his problem, Matthews chapter on his secret
4. I thought that the ballroom scene was just meh, I loved seeing all the characters interact but with Jesse showing up and then Barbara it was just a little forced
5. The scene with Jesse and Lucie and Will in her bedroom, the Merry Thieves helpings James to the shadow world and Will yelling at them, Lucie pretending and failing to be asleep when Jamie was getting yelled at
6. I don’t think anything outright bored me. SKIP
7. Grace’s characterization wasn’t to the level I wish it was
8. More Grace and more Lucie and Matthew
9. Barbara’s death, Matthew’s addiction, Alastair and Charles’ relationship, Grace’s manipulating power, Lucie’s power
10. Jesse, the proposal, Matthew and Cordelia’s relationship and Lucie and Matthew’s relationship, the Herondale families rapport( just that they are all so openly loving and the way the children don’t get in trouble because Tessa and Will can’t get many them when they know they did worse haha so cute!)
11.Alastair is a top one, James always seemed too indifferent to everything in the novellas and I love him now
12. I didn’t have strong feelings for Charles but I don’t really love him after reading, and Grace
13.MATTHEW MATTHEW MATTHEW
14. London Institute
15. Heartbreaking
16. Terrifying, I hate knowing bad things are coming when the characters don’t know
17. I’m really hoping they fall in love before the engagement ends
18. I just want Matthew to be happy
19. Jesse
20. Hmmm, I’ve made up in my mind that Lucie and Matthew need to be together for me to be happy but Cordelia and James are wonderful, and yeah Lucie and Matthew
21. More Grace, I want to know what’s going on with her, more Christopher and Thomas
22. Barbara, she didn’t deserve that
23. It’s not over yet so I have no words on endings
24. Again it’s not over so I’m hopeful for everyone
25. Uhhhh….next question
26. How the HELL we gonna defeat a prince of hell and what more can Lucie do
27. The fire
28. Alastair and Charles (I only ship alastairs with one man and that’s thomas)
29. Theoriesss hmmm, I think Matthew is going to have to tell someone his secret and I feel like it might be Cordelia. Bracelet is totally getting cut off my Cortana
30. Grace
You know those books that just sit forever on your shelves, because every month (even though you promise yourself that you’re going to read them) a different book catches your eye? Theseeeeee are a few of mine, this is one of my worse book-related habits, but I know that I’ll get to them eventually! Which books are long term residents on your tbr lists?

It’s happeningggggg!!! Repeat Its happening!!
I’ve never been more excited but like a little scared it could get ruined but excited; because of how Ron did with outlander & SJM being involved! To see prythian and the ACOTAR world come to life will be so wonderful; especially rhys
