On one side the interactions between friends and family, and I enjoyed the romantic scenes, but on the other side the plot was boring at times, the romance felt like a side plot and I didn't connect to the characters. The pacing was well done, but the plot was boring at times. I enjoyed the focus on mental health and the important messages in the book, but I wished there was more of a focus on the romance. I liked Justin, he's sweet, loyal, funny, but there were times that he felt flat. I liked how much he cared for Emma and his siblings. I liked Emma, she's emphatic, strong, resilient, but there were a few decisions that she made that I didn't agree with. I didn't feel a connection to Emma, but I am proud of facing her struggles head on and working through them. The romance was lacking a bit, there were a few sweet scenes but not enough for me to feel the chemistry between Emma and Justin. Also the development of Emma and Justin's romance was lacking, it felt a bit like insta-love. The interactions between Emma and her friend, Maddy were great, I liked how close they were. The ending was sweet and heartwarming. I'm glad it ended on a happy note. Overall, this book was okay, the focus on mental health was great and I enjoyed the interactions between the characters, but the plot was boring at times, I didn't connect to the characters and the romance was lacking....more

I was engaged in this story and the characters from the first page. The plot was interesting and fun. The pacing was perfect throughout the book. The writing was funny, and engaging. I enjoyed the characters so much, they each had a unique personality. I love Winter, on the outside she has a cold exterior but once you get to know her you realize she has a heart of gold. She's hardworking, fierce, strong, resilient, and protective of the people she loves. Winter's character development was excellent, she learned to trust others and showed a softer side of herself. I can relate to Winter, I'm also resilient, hardworking and family is very important to me. I'm in love with Theo, he's charming, witty, strong, sweet, hardworking and compassionate. Theo is such a sweetheart, I was swooning and blushing at many of the sweet things he did for Winter. It made me heart full when he showed how much he cared. Also the scenes with Theo and children made me smile a great deal (so adorable and sweet). I really liked the side characters especially Summer, Harvey, Cade, and Willa. The chemistry and tension between Winter and Theo was amazing! I could feel the connection between them and I loved how their relationship developed over time. I love the banter between Winter and Theo, I laughed and smiled so much!

I have mixed feelings abou"I love you Sloane Winthrop. I always have. I love you so damn hard I don't even know what to do with it. You're my person."
I have mixed feelings about this book. On one hand the chemistry between the main characters was great, I liked the setting, and I enjoyed the side characters. On the other side, the plot was a bit boring in the middle, the pacing was slow in the middle and I didn't connect to the main two characters. I liked Sloane, she is hardworking, brave, strong and I liked how she stood up for herself. I was proud of her for speaking her mind and I enjoyed seeing her gain confidence in herself throughout the book. There was one situation where I didn't agree with how she treated Jasper. I liked Jasper, he is hardworking, strong, resilient, and sweet to Sloane, but there were times when he was a bit possessive. I wished that Jasper's past was explored more in this book. I liked that Jasper let Sloane be her own person and made sure that she agreed before making a decision. I really liked the side characters especially Summer, Cade, and Willa. I loved the dynamic between Summer, Willa and Sloane. I loved how close they were and were able to make jokes with each other. The chemistry and tension between Jasper and Sloane was well done. I'm glad that their relationship developed overtime. I wasn't a huge fan of the third act drama, but it did resolve quickly. There were a few scenes that made me smile and blush and a few that made me uncomfortable. The ending was sweet and heartwarming. I'm glad that it ended on a happy note. Overall, this book was okay, the chemistry between the main characters was great, but the plot was lacking in the middle and I didn't have a connection to the two main characters....more

I enjoyed the characters immensely. I love Willa, she is fierce, witty and loyal, but she also has a soft and caring side to her. I loved that she was comfortable showing all sides of herself and was honest to the people she cares about. I can relate to Willa because I'm very loyal and caring towards my family. I'm in love with Cade, he is gruff and grumpy on the outside but on the inside he is loving, caring, selfless, and has a heart of gold. I love seeing the softer side that he showed only to Will and his son Luke. I was giddy over his sweet and soft side. Cade and Willa's character development was excellent they grew so much and showed both sides of themselves. I really liked the side characters, especially Luke (he's adorable and so sweet), Jasper, Summer and Cade's dad. I loved Cade and Willa's witty banter so much, it made me giggle and smile a great deal. The chemistry and tension between both characters was amazing!

The premise of the book was very interesting, I loved the idea of sea dragons and magical dragon fruit, but the pacing was inconsistent and the character development was lacking. The pacing was inconsistent throughout the whole book and the plot dragged at times. I didn't connect to the characters and the development of the characters was not explored. The characters felt flat and I wanted to learn more about their past and understand their feelings in more depth.

I have similar feelings about Sam, I didn't learn enough about his character and growth to feel a connection to him. I enjoyed that this story was unique and the focus on Pacific Islander mythology was very interesting. The ending was decent, I'm glad some aspects of the plot were resolved, but it felt rushed. Overall, this book was okay, the premise was so interesting, but I felt that it lacked in execution and the pacing was inconsistent....more

It took me a while to become immersed in this book, but once I did, I couldn’t leave this world and the great characters. The plot was interesting, although the plot did drag at times. The world building was great, I enjoyed learning even more about the unique magic in as well as the history of the world. I immensely enjoyed the politics and alliances in this book, which showed a realistic vision of war and everything that is affected by it. The writing was very descriptive and cinematic, I felt that I was with the characters experiencing everything that they did. The banter was so great in this, although it didn't have quite the same vibes as the first book. The characters are extremely complex and realistic. I love Vin, she is fierce, strong, brave, determined, stubborn, and resilient. Vin went through so much in this book, but she made it to the other side stronger and more determined than ever. Vin's character development was great, she learned what is important to her and how to trust herself. I can relate to Vin because I would do anything to protect the people I love and I am also a very resilient person. I really liked Elend, he is smart, brave, protective, charming, and compassionate. I loved how protective he was of Vin, but also let her be her own person. Elend's character development was excellent, he became more determined and found his purpose. He was so swoon worthy and the "don't talk to My Wife that way" vibes were great! I liked Sazed a great deal too, he is caring, smart, polite, resilient, and brave. I enjoyed the other side characters as well especially Breeze and Ham. I loved Elend and Vin's relationship, they learned to understand each other and both saw the best in each other. I also liked how their relationship developed and how realistic it felt. I felt several deep emotions during this book including happiness, and sadness. The ending was shocking and exciting, but also heartbreaking. I can't wait to read the next book!...more
I have mixed feelings about this book. The premise of the book was very interesting, but the execution was lacking. I liked the idea of a tearoom thatI have mixed feelings about this book. The premise of the book was very interesting, but the execution was lacking. I liked the idea of a tearoom that transforms into a bloodhouse at night, but I felt that not enough time was spent on explaining the tearoom. The world was unique and intriguing, but it was complex at first. The pacing was uneven throughout the book, slow in the beginning and middle and fast at the end. The plot was interesting, but I felt that it dragged at times. I didn't become invested in the book until near the middle. I liked the characters, but I didn't feel a connection to them. I liked Arthie, but I didn't connect to her and her character development was lacking. I really liked Jin, he is charming, funny, caring and brave. I liked Flick, she is brave, loyal, persistent and resilient. I felt that the author missed an opportunity to develop the characters more and show their personal journey. I enjoyed the banter between Arthie and Jin, it made me smile. I felt that the romance between Jin and Flick was underdeveloped and there was a lack of chemistry. Their relationship evolved from like to love too quickly. The ending was so good and shocking. Overall, this book was an okay read for me because I didn't connect to the characters, the pacing was uneven and the plot dragged. ...more
