💬 Which do you prefer: sprayed and/or stenciled edges, exclusive book covers, or character artwork inside the dust jacket? 🤎📖 I definitely love all three… but there’s something about sprayed/stenciled edges that I find soooo beautiful. If I had the choice, I think I’d choose those every time. 🤎📖 These gorgeous editions are by @fairyloot! . . . h a s h t a g s : #thesehollowvows #thesetwistedbonds #lexiryan #fairyloot #beautifulbooks #sprayededges #exclusivebooks #booksbooksbooks #hygge #myhomevibe #homedecor #bookdesign #mybookfeatures #cozyliving #autumnvibes #fallvibes #posttheordinary https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckipodcuwd5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

» How many books do you read at one time? hello my friends, I can do up to 3 books at a time. But I prefer to stick to one or two. It’s much easier for me these days to really limit my reading. » hashtags:. #TheseTwistedBonds #LexiRyan #epicreads #booklover #bookcommunity #readingismagic #bookobsession #booksofinstagram #bookphotography #igreaders #instagramreads #instagramreads #readersofinstagram #igbooks #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookpictures #bookshelf #bookobsessed #instareads #thesehollowvows (at Boise, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmC1elzvNC4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What is wrong with me (that's the question you will be asking yourself because idk either).

I recently finished reading "These Twisted Bonds" and I thought the book was good overall, but it left a sour taste in my mouth towards the end. SPOILERS AHEAD

Look, I like Brie and Finn, and Finn really proved himself in this book. He showed kindness, he was honest, mysterious, selfless, represented all aspects of a wonderful leader ready to do anything for his people. He was handsome, patient and loving with Abriella. Not to mention he carries with himself a sense of poise and dignity. He's selfish with the ones he loves, and he made it clear where his feelings stood without being too pushy with Abriella. He gave her the choice to love him, and she chose him in the end. And I think that she was fine to choose him. I really wanted to be completely immersed in their love story, but why, tell me why I was still so set on her being with Sebastian? Idk, both men are just >>>>>>, but it was Sebastian that actually reeled me in. Even after all the questionable things he did, and even though his betrayal felt like it personally cut me, I STILL wanted to see the good in him. I so desperately LOVED the angst going on between Abriella and Sebastian, and thought that was going to be explored more so that they would end up together. Because who ever said love was easy? And in retrospect, I know Sebastian acted at times like a child, practically begging Abriella to stay and give them a chance, because despite all that happened, he really did still love her. That was never a lie. And I guess it just makes my heart a little sad that she never gave him a chance after that. I know, I know, you might tell me it's realistic that people change their feelings, but idk, I had such a soft spot for Sebastian throughout the book, and I just felt sad that he was feeling sad over Abriella and Finn's new romantic development. He really did love Abriella despite his flaws. And at the end, when he chose to give up everything after already losing so much, idk, my heart pined and ached for him even more. I might be the only one who thinks this, but I just feel like he got so easily pushed to the side. Why did it take Abriella so long to forgive Sebastian over Finn who practically did the same thing? It's like she was using all excuses to break the bond with Sebastian at all costs, never really properly sitting down and allowing for a deep and proper exploration of their feelings. I know, time and place and a whole fae political war going on. But I just wanted closure. And honestly, I still felt sad for Bash. He lost his mother, his bestfriend, the girl he loved, and he got reduced to nothing in the end in Abriella's story. Look, he does have a role to play with how it all went out, but as he said, he had no choice. Abriella would have turned fae anyway with her blood, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that Sebastian deserved better. Especially with his sacrifice to become mortal so he could let Abriella be happy. And it wasn't with him. I just think Sebastian deserved to be given a chance, and not just forgiven when he decided to lose everything in the end. I really think that was so selfless of him. Idk, the first book had me so enamoured by Sebastian and Abriella's relationship. Even before starting the book, I just knew there would be more focus on Finn and Abriella's relationship. But idk, justice for my man Sebastian who deserved to be happy in the end too. Honestly, I was thinking that Brie could have learned to love both the men in her life and not choose one over the other. I would have been okay with that. After all, it's the fae world, and anything goes, right? But still, as weird as I find it, even after finishing "These Twisted Bonds" and developing a soft spot for Finn because he really proved himself this book to be worthy of Abriella's love, a part of me still hurts for Sebastian, and I would have loved to have seen them get together. But I guess it simply wasn't meant to be. This really feeds into my angst heart brilliantly, but it still hurts. I know, I know, I'll probably be the only one who thinks this way, and that's okay. I've come to terms with that. If you read my blabbering this far, you're a trooper. XD

🐉RATING: 🔥🔥🔥🔥/5 I enjoyed my second discussion with @acourtofbooks.club last night. After reading These Hollow Vows two weeks ago, we completed Lexi Ryan’s duology with These Twisted Bonds. Both YA books were fun reads with unexpected twists and romantic complications. I did find two of the main characters quite annoying at times, but their self-centered concerns were age appropriate and set them up for further growth. I would recommend this duology to those who enjoy quick and easily read fantasy. While there are some steamier moments than you would find in teen novels, these are very much written for a YA audience. I doubt this set would appeal to readers who favor adult high fantasy. ❓Do you have any travel plans for the end of this year? #thesehollowvows #thesetwistedbonds #bookreview #bookrecommendations #bookclubofinstagram #yafantasy #fantasyduology #ireadya #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CmMvGd8yKAC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
