      @tinybooknest Před rokem +1

      I always recommended reading them based on the publication (that's the best way to completely absorbed the whole universe) but if you don't like to switch between the series, you can go in this order: The Mortal Instruments 1-3, The Infernal Devices, The Mortal Instrument 4-6, Bane Chronicles, Tales of Shadowhunter, The Dark Artifices, The Eldest Curse, Ghost of Shadow Market, The Last Hour ❤

    Once More With Feeling is still good!! It’s a little undeveloped in my opinion but the trope that they all disliked is on the back description so if you think you’ll hate it because of the trope I just wouldn’t read it because the entire plot is around that

    • @beth7554
      @beth7554 Před rokem +1

  • @agniceberg
    @agniceberg Před 11 měsíci

    Must say, 'Final offer' was such a disappointment for me. I liked the first book, the second one was okay and I was very excited about the third, because from all the brothers I liked Cal the most, but there was not a thing I liked in that book (and imo it was way too long; I gave it 1,5 stars, maybe 2). BUT that said, you just made me purchase all Magnolia Parks books (I have just the first one of the physical copy and on my TBR, but just, just know, before writing this comment I purchased remaining three). Fingers crossed I'll like them (the way you described your MP crush got me intrigued 😄).
