Dating After the End of the WorldDating After the End of the World by Jeneva Rose
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

0.5 / 5.0

I have just finished chapter one and am disgusted by this. There is…

1. Normalization of abusive behavior as “a crush”, by the FMC father.
2. Defense of said abusive behavior in the disguise Take the High Road (just because he’s awful doesn’t mean you should be) without actually acknowledging that this boy is exhibiting concerning behavior that should be dealt with.
3. The sexualization of children who are 13. The author not only writes this normalization crap about boys abusing girls because they are “crushing” on them, the author then doubles down and adds that the girls in the FMC’s class believe the boy is “hot”. Prepubescent children are what now?

How is this narrative still ok? How did this get past a team of editors and the publisher’s legal because, wtf?!? WTF?!?

And anyone commenting I am an over sensitive, liberal woke prude, please do! Makes it easier for the proper authorities can track you down and investigate the skeletons in your closet. Gross. 🤢

HAHAHAHA, turns out Amazon was the first to object to my review. It needed a more friendly reason for the low rating and I had to be nicer to the community. Translation: we can and will censor voices that aren’t a part of the narrative we’re supporting (ie: fundi-christian, patriarchal, gelding boys)

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab My rating: 5 of 5 stars 4.5 / 5.0 This is lovely and heartbreaking and gives the same vibes as Addie La'Rue. I adore it and will be rereading it. The ending, which I can see how people feel is weak, is so infinite. Schwab gives us all the pathways as they were written and then lets us know the characters still walk on but the path into their future is in our imaginations. It does the same thing as Addie. Overall, I enjoyed this. The writing is beautiful, the characters are so complex and interesting, and the setting could be a travel guide. My only complaint was sometimes the lamenting went on and on and on, but overall this is a great story and a good read. Until Next Time, MC View all my reviews

Kill Creatures

Kill Creatures by Rory Power My rating: 4 of 5 stars 4.0 \ 5.0 Ooo, this is intense! The twist at the end and the way all these characters are so devious, had me devouring this. My only complaint was the fatalistic, almost over the top dramatic voice of the main character. Maybe if I was younger I would appreciate the writing style more, but it didn't add to the overall story for me. Until Next Time, MC View all my reviews

The Audient and The Phantom Night

The Audient and The Phantom Night by Sadie Hewitt My rating: 5 of 5 stars 4.7 / 5.0 Are you a fan of Pirates of the Caribbean? What about Disney princesses? Ok, and let’s mix in the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse but as pirates, because remember Pirates of the Caribbean, well, then you’ll enjoy this. The FMC starts out weak and the writing isn’t the best, but then the FMC matures and the writing improves along with her, and by the end it’s all good (very Frozen coded and obvious foretelling). I had fun with this and consumed it in one day. The cover is also spectacular. Also, the “magic” is cool and I want to see where the other books (3?) will go. Until Next Time, MC View all my reviews
