  The Husky and His White Cat Shizun: Erha He Ta De Bai Mao Shizun (Novel) Vol. 3

  This book has made it very clear that I must be a masochist because the way my heart was torn to irreparable pieces and the way I sobbed and simultaneously loved it is seriously concerning. Small warning because my review is not spoiler free, I am cursing everything. Once again cried over food related incidents. Shi Mei’s wontons being Shizun’s after the flower mayhem… all this damn time? So when Wanning made them when Shi Mei died and Mo Ran threw them in anger because no one could make them again, they had always been Wanning’s? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Genuinely never been more heartbroken. I could so vividly and visually SEE Wanning crawling up those steps bloodied, and then Mo Ran thinking that man didn’t care for him at all? He was dying and dragged himself for you for THREE THOUSAND STEPS and you tell me that? Also Mo Ran cradling a lantern Wanning has me in so many tears. It’s so sweet in this hellish book and the way Wanning so easily went with him. I feel so sane. Every time Mo Ran begged for Wanning to come with him in general or to go back with him or that he’d do anything and even leave Sisheng Peak if Wanning wished it as long as he came home? Slaughtered me right there. I was so ready to throw this book out my window constantly while reading. Mo Ran crying and apologising constantly and saying he would listen and not do wrong anymore I SWEAR WHAT THE HELL? Saying he’ll make all these sweet treats for him? Taking out the things in food that Wanning doesn’t like to give to him? Describing him as beautiful constantly? ALL THE HAND HOLDING? I am a puddle on the floor. Also marriage??? Wanning being a potential concubine? Lord I was an absolute disastrous mess. Baby Mo Ran had me in literal tears on my work break. There’s so much heartbreak in this book but the way he gently asks for literal scraps of food and is beaten for it and then tries to reach for just a little and it’s all ruined in front of him? Thinking these people would rather ruin food than feed someone who needs it? A child? After he asked so softly and then asked again if the dogs didn’t want it. The amount of anger I felt on his behalf and the amount of sadness… I genuinely think this will be on my mind for so damn long and I’ll be miserable every time I remember it. So much of this story broke me but this stands out to me so much… And I don’t know if I’m alone in this, I kinda feel like I am, but I feel so bad for Rong Jiu. I always had a soft spot for him, even if he’s such a small side character and was flawed, but when he showed up again my heart shattered all over. To find out how he’d died, that he’d nearly bought his freedom, that he’d thought he could be loved, that jealousy he feels of seeing it for someone else, lord it hurt me so badly. To see what he’d resort to and accept as a means to survive, to be used in such horrible ways and take it, I felt awful. I know he tries to manipulate Wanning when he originally thought to go with them (and I truly believe for a moment he planned to go with), and even though he betrays them again, I can’t find it in me to hate him? I actually feel such sorrow for him. I don’t know if he’ll reappear again (I doubt it), but I really wish we knew what happened to him. Will the ghost king ruin him now? Or will he manage? Will he never have a chance at reincarnation? I honestly think he deserves a second chance to live. He’s simply desperate to survive and clings to those he thinks are most likely to guarantee him the best of the little he’s given, even if it means hurting himself. And I really hoped and ached for him to go with them and get that chance. Knowing he was left behind (even though I know this was his fault and could have likely been avoided), it leaves me just hollow and sad for him. He trusted someone he thought had loved him in both lifetimes, and he's just left and treated like he's worthless. His entire story is a heartbreaking tragedy. BUT ALSO HIS ACTIONS LEADING TO THE MOMENT WHERE MO RAN BEGS AND SAYS HE’LL GET OUT OF WANNING’S LIFE AS LONG AS HE COMES HOME WITH HIM? I’m so fine. One chapter in book two wrecked me terribly. However this book wrecked me pretty much from the moment that damn rift opened. Every page got more brutal, I didn’t get a second to breathe before I wanted to cry and scream and throw these pages in a blender. I'm forever so emotionally fragile over Wanning being the only one left to always believe Mo Ran could snap out of his insanity in their first lifetime. And him waiting outside the palace in the snow freezing on his knees saying he'll stay right there? When he can't handle cold? Throwing myself. I absolutely loved it and it’s my favourite one of them so far. But I swear if I don’t have even a moment to breathe in the next one I will actually reconsider the blender or the window. Beautifully written, even in all its misery. I loved it.

  Six Scorched Roses

  Finished last year on such a high note with this. If this is not one of the most beautifully written things I have ever read in my life. I finished it and immediately wanted to go back. I will be reading this again, I am so sure of it. The relationship, the description and usage of roses, death and blood. I’m speechless, I don’t even know what to say to properly form a well enough thought to convey just how beautiful this was. I’m so sad it’s over. More than 5 stars worthy, truly.

  I cried over a man cradling cabbage which is a first for me. I am absoutely in love and ready to throw this book out a window. 11/10 it could not be better and I fear this may become my new obsession & the only thing I care about.

  The Husky and His White Cat Shizun: Erha He Ta De Bai Mao Shizun (Novel) Vol. 6

  Drink every time I cry about food related incidents. Lord do they hurt EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I love Wanning. I love Mo Ran. My heart aches for him and his worries about his past potentially coming to light. His attempt at confessing and Wanning comforting him? Wrapping his arms around him? SCREAMED. When Wanning said "I want to see you" I just about went to heaven. "Why did you use your dying breaths to tell me to spare myself" God, the way they love each other so much and how Wanning has always loved him so purely and quietly is what will make me go to an early grave. I am in love and hurt. The love story is peak what I need in every way and everything is written so beautifully. Why are these sentences just so achingly beautiful? This entire story is so amazingly written and I am so addicted to it. The pacing of the plot was slower than in some of the other volumes, but I liked the shift in focusing to their more intimate scenes. It was nice, and I know we're building up to what I am assuming is a lot of angst in the next volume. Thankfully it's already on my shelf, but I'm praying it doesn't wreck me the way volume three did. Though I don't think anything will ever shatter me like that did. This is everything I love and more in a book, and this love story... my god, I cannot put into words how much I adore them and love this story. Special shout out to volume six because this cover is the reason I wanted to pick up ENHA in the first place. And why do I feel like Xue Meng will figure it out first? As for my endless theories about Shi Mei... boy this volume made them stir up. All in all, I am screaming, kicking, dying. I am in love.

  Nearly cried on a train because of chicken soup. My heart was shattered and stepped on brutally and I'm afraid I will never quite recover from how it broke me. Chapter 74 can burn in hell, I'm in pieces.

  I'm depressed. My baby Wanning has suffered so much why is he still out here suffering? Shi Mei :(( I'm still suspicious of you but my poor Shi Mei... Haven't been this miserable since volume 3. I cried. 11/10. Said wtf a handful of times outloud, my friend was very amused watching me read this. I was not. I wanted to rip my heart out and throw it in the ocean. A literal masterpiece.

  The Wicked King (A Novel of Elfhame)

  This book is an incredible improvement on an already well started series. I love this even more than The Cruel Prince. Easy to read but descriptive, fast paced and I ate up every word, turning the pages so fast that it's very likely the fastest book that I have read this year. The story is engaging and fun and while I still had the same issues with it being YA and that I wanted the story itself to be far darker, it was definitely enjoyable and something I would return to reading again. I do still wish that it read more mature and that Jude should've been a little older, as well as hoped for more cruelty from the elves given their nature, but I can also see why it was none of these things. My absolute highlight was Cardan outsmarting Jude near the very end of the novel. I would have found it unrealistic if she kept winning and getting everything she strived for, and I don't think I would've found it believable if she was always the one outsmarting everyone else. I love Cardan in this book even moreso than in the first one. Learning more about him is always a highlight and gives a lot of insight into who he is as a character. Him being raised on cat milk made a lot of sense. Her twin sister is still the absolute worst, even more than before. While I will say that the betrayal on her part was a little predictable, it still caused me anger and frustration. The last 100 pages are a wild ride of twists and turns that I read through in one sitting. This was absolutely amazing and I finished The Queen of Nothing right after. I was beyond overwhelmed in a wonderful way so I was immediately reaching for the next book in the trilogy after this. The slowburn is still promising and I love reading about their growing attraction to each other and enjoyed seeing how their relationship developed. 100% better than the already great first book.

  The Serpent and the Wings of Night

  I would genuinely rate this more than 5 stars if I could. I've never been much of a vampire girly but I am so glad I decided to get this on a whim. A lot of people have said this story drags but I entirely disagree. The world is immersive, the story is interesting, and though I will never claim these ideas to be the most unique, I absolutely loved this. This is probably one of my favourite fantasy books that I have read in a very long time and I think a big reason why is because I absolutely loved the writing style. It is descriptive and beautifully written, it's immersive and captivating. I was always intrigued to know more and I found so many extremely beautifully written sentences that I was dying to note down. I actually love this authors style of writing so much that she is now an autobuy for me since this book. I'm also in love with Raihn. Aside from his one uncalled for line at the end, this man is exactly what I want out of a fantasy world boyfriend. He's interesting and kind in a way that I found myself incredibly intrigued by. While I wouldn't call this enemies to lovers (which I did hope for), it was just enough of a slow burn that when I finaly got to the spice, it felt like I had genuinely earned it. For a moment I half expected to end up with nothing and like I wouldn't get anything at all, and I loved that. I loved that once I got it, it had its purpose and was not just thrown in haphazardly. None of it felt rushed in terms of their relationship to me aside from the very end wherein she makes a decision that I found a little questionable to a certain degree. Nevertheless, I did really like Oraya as a female main character. The one thing that I wouold maybe criticise is that at times, her injuries truly suspended belief just a little. Especially since she is human, I sometimes found her injuries too severe and that she could and often would recover too quickly. However, the story was genuinely great, the writing was the most beautiful structure of sentences and world building that I wish to know more about, and I genuinely talk about Raihn probably every week to at least someone.

  Only Dull People Are Brilliant at Breakfast

  The way I would make a Twitter account just to follow posts like this. A collection of random thoughts, some of which made me think, some of which I thought were a little bit ridiculous. It was a quick yet fun read. Certainly gave me many things to highlight and think about.

  Garber, S: Ballad of Never After

  It took me quite a few days of reading very little until I snowballed into finishing this. I am absolutely obsessed but also a bundle of mixed emotions. I feel angry and sad and so frustrated because WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ENDING ARE WE REALLY GONNA DO THIS??? I am so so so relieved I bought the third book before finishing this because I jumped right into it. Honestly all the men in this except Jacks should just be banished and cursed. I could have screamed. The seething word choices for Apollo in my head are not even remotely kind. I think this book is 100 times better than the first one. A lot more interesting, with more development and more intrigue. Some of it is still lacking a little bit, and Evangeline still gets a little bit annoying and is a little bit too naive sometimes, but she is miles better than in the first book. I love the magic and the baby dragon that I now want to adopt. And Jacks. Oh my god, Jacks. I’m not at all surprised you’re so heartless and horrible. I felt awful for him, and I adore him so much. He’s easily my favourite character and still the most interesting one to me with such a nicely fleshed out story. He makes me want to cry, scream and kick my feet in excitement. He may not be my favourite book boyfriend ever but he is a high contender. Especially after this rollercoaster. I’m actually still reeling. Like what the hell are we playing with my fragile heart like this for… I hope the third and final book is equally as well paced as the last half of this book. It really took me a moment to get into it but it paid off to keep going. I feel so many different conflicting emotions right now. Also the amount of notes I wanted to take of beautiful sentences and thoughts and dialogue. I could have mass highlighted the last 15 chapters or so… it all sounded so beautiful and hit me right in the heart. Is it a masterpiece? Absolutely not. But it’s a solid book to get lost into when you want a little magic and the slow burn is slow burning I am losing my mind. My sanity is gone.
