Hopped around a few different genres but really enjoyed all the books I read in June:

The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King by Carissa Broadbent
The Strange by Nathan Ballingrud
On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong
Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman

I read the Broadbent one! How did you like the second book compared to the first? I feel like the one thing that kinda fell flat is that every fight was described as the hardest fight ever, so when the last battle came the author was just rehashing those same descriptions.

Still, I enjoyed the story, and those books were far more well-written than most in the Romantacy genre.

I really enjoyed it! I’m not sure I liked it as much as the first one, I think the pacing in that one for me was a little bit better, but am excited to see what Broadbent writes next in that world. I’m newer to the Romantacy genre (have only read the ACOTAR series and Fourth Wing) but have already had a lot of fun with the books I’ve read so far.
