That robin was so cute. When I was younger my Nan used to tell me a robin is loved one visiting you who has passed.

The 3rd book is the best - Gleam - to me. Everything happens in that books for plot & romance. I’m just finished rereading the first 4 books and will starting Gold next. I’d like to try J. Bree books. 🎄 -Amy

I absolutely LOVED GLINT!!! I haven’t continued yet just because I’m savouring the books! GILD wasn’t anything compared to GLINT for me. I adore the MMC of GLINT! He’s my #2 book boyfriend, before Rhysand from ACOMAF. GLINT is NOT filler at all. It’s where the romantasy starts!

@mrssharms3335 7 ай бұрын

Lovely video and I am so glad your on the mend. Sword Catcher, for me, was a struggle bus, pushed on and finished with so many dislikable characters and not enough of an original fantasy plot line it was not a great reading experience. Happy times that you found a series you dug your teeth into though, not read J Brees Broken bonds but read her The mortal fates book 1 and although it needs some editing to get rid of some repetitive parts it was a good time and I can't wait for the next instalment. Happy Christmas

Unpopular opinion but I hated The Plated Prisoner series. The characters have nothing about them and infuriated me the whole way through. I also think the plot it so boring. No offence intended to the people that enjoyed it, I just did not get along with it.

@@AFrolicThroughFiction Yea I’ve seen a mixed bag of opinions, but I also saw that it got better around book 3 which I agree it did improve a little. The book 4 just slumped me
