#WhatchaReading? I DNF'd Return to Mariposa by Anne Stuart. It's highly implausible, there's a huge continuity error, and it just felt... disconnected from itself, like nothing flowed in a reasonable way. A lot of the reviews say the book gets really stupid in the *second* half, so I decided to cut my losses.

Currently Onyx Storm because of course you have to read it first day! So many cliffhangers that were left over from Iron Flame that I can’t wait to get wrapped up. Though there is supposed to be a fourth book and I think Rebecca Yarros is supposed to have left a heck of a frustrating one at the end of this book.

That’s terribly exciting! Though I think I’ve heard the same about her needing some much deserved R&R from the first three. But dang it she’s got us hooked now, and I want my dragons!!

There is indeed a particularly gnarly cliffhanger, I won’t say too much more, but I enjoyed the read nonetheless!

I don’t know if romantasy is welcomed here, but this post popped up on my feed and I figured bad discussion is better than no discussion ;). I’m currently embarassingly deep into the Zodiac Academy series of books. I almost DNF’d the first one for being a little too creepy/rapey, but powered through, gave it a chance, and enjoyed the next several. Personal opinion is ideas/qualify falling off by book 8 (embarrassing), but the world building and characters were fun.
