    I thought The Folk of the Air series was so underwhelming. It felt like I read a different series to others because so many people rave about it. Also, I agree with you about the opinions thing. It’s absolutely ridiculous how freaking rude people are when you don’t like something that they like, especially if it’s very popular. Any form of art is SUBJECTIVE! People shouldn’t dish out what they can’t take because they’ll literally talk shit about books but have an issue if someone else does it. Make it make sense.

  • @arianaspencer3382

    Can't wait for you to get to Defy Me, loved some twists in that one! I very much love Maybe Someday, but I understand your view. In Maybe Now, Maggie gets her own love story and you see more about her life struggles from her pov & Sydney gets more selfless from what I remember. The way she helps Ridge with stuff is cute.
    I'll always recommend Bright Side by Kim Holden (probably my all-time fave) & the sequels. It's given me a different perspective on life. And Tarryn Fisher (for thriller or romance) is one my favorite authors, her writing is beautiful. Mud Vein is one of my all-time favorites, it's heavy, heartbreaking, twisted (look up TW but be careful of spoilers). Marrow has cameos/easter eggs from MV & is a morally grey story with an insane twist.
