A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas

Along the journey of re-reading the ACOTAR series, I was in a horrific car accident and broke my hand, so things will be a little slow for me and formatted differently.

So, re-reading ACOFAS have to say it is still not my favorite in the series. After reading it for the second time it is much more tolerable and wasn't too angry about having to re-read it in this journey. It really made me really want a book in Lucien's POV and his time spent away on his trip to find the cursed queen, and now his journey with Vassa and Jurien. Feel like there is a lot there that can be explored and brought to light. Very interested in seeing what will happen in the next few books. Hate that he's in the group of Misfits or whatever they call themselves, but it makes sense for his character and such.

Love how it bounces between the different characters every chapter...it gives insight to how their own books would be if it followed them. Like the next one is Silver Flames so it's interesting to see how Cassian and Nesta's scenes culminated in that. Also just want to point out how much I've begun to despise Elain and that she doesn't do literally anything. There is nothing that she does that brings anything into the story. That being said, I also hated Nesta so maybe when a book comes out that mainly focuses on he, maybe that will change.

The Hidden Letters by Lorna Cook

"It's people like your brother and me, being handed a weapon and told to kill someone we don't even know, who we'd probably get along with in everyday life. And all because someone in a gilded throne or behind a big desk decides that's what we have to do." On the brink of World War One, a forbidden romance is blooming between debutante Cordelia and the landscape architect Issac. Cordelia finds herself intrigued with learning how to cultivate the garden in preparation for when the men are called away to war. Issac, of course, teaches her in private and their forbidden love story began. Cordelia's parents find out and her mother is absolutely horrified to find her daughter digging in dirt, but reluctantly agree to let her continue her work. Even going as far as coming up with the idea to expand their garden to aid the estate and surrounding areas. Issac continues to teach her through letters when he is on the battlefield, but their correspond...

Finna by Nino Cipri (LitenVerse #1)

" It explores queer relationships and queer feelings, capitalism, and accountability, labor and love, all with a bouncing sense of humor and a commitment to the strange." This delightful multiverse sci-fi story is absolutely incredible. This universe there is a knock off Ikea prone to spontaneous wormholes and customers get lost or eaten in. Which is exactly what happens, except it is up to two employees who had just broken up to go inside the wormhole and track down the customer or the closest thing to them. This was such a wonderful read and perfect for finishing in one sitting. I wish there was more in this entire universe, it just seems so much fun, and that the possibilities are endless. I've passed this book to those I love, and I'm so excited for them to get to experience this universe!
