Side note: why did they make the tv series so drama-filled? I was angry at Jonnys character, he’s such a silly bean in the books.

I listened to the audiobook and the narrator always does a fantastic job with these! She helps these well-written characters come to life.
If you enjoy the show, you’ll love the books too ✨

And after telling my fiancé a run down of the plot (since she won’t read it), she was also like 😮
Though, I think I’ve figured out the formula for her books after this - but that would be a spoiler to say 🤭
This book will have you GRIPPED. From the horror of reality and making mortgage payments on time, this book just escalates in the best possible pacing. Freida builds up a perfectly crafted way to hit us readers with the twist.
The end though, felt a little rushed. I kept thinking some of these names at the end were previous characters that popped up in her books. Give us a multiverse 😂😂 but I love these unforgettable characters she crafts and the twisty stories ❤️

I know the basic outline of the story, though I’ve procrastinated on reading/finishing some retellings. This plot flowed together well and I love the traditional role reversal.
I love soft bois and this version of Hades was so sweet 🥹 love the bi rep! I also love powerful women and Persephone was incredible in it.
I wish she had tried her luck at the end there and made a gamble 👀😂
The narrator of this book did an excellent job!

Love this series, love the writing, the characters, the narration, the stories.
This one didn’t hit as hard as the first two but still witty and lovely

Never when I couldn’t see out. Never when I was being taken to die. No light, no air. Like they buried me already.”
This. Book!
This was the hardest I’ve ever sobbed in a book, I swear I was full on sobbing, ugly crying for a full half hour 😭 that end!!!
We already know Haymitch won the 50th anniversary games - the one that had double the tributes. This is the story of how it happened.
And what a story!! It had me gripped, the characters were so strong and the villains were so cruel.
If you enjoyed the hunger games, I’d definitely recommend this.

This series was one of the best enemies to lovers I’ve ever read. It made me happy, angry, it left be sobbing. Definitely recommend this series ✨

I didn’t know much about this going in so there are a lot of trigger warnings. They range from her mom showering her still at age 16 to encouraging anorexia in an 11 year old to calling her daughter a s1ut, disowning her and asking for money all in the same message.
I’m so happy she’s in a good place now 🥹

Great read showcasing superpowers in a realistic type of world and way of uncovering the plot.
Love that there’s disability and non-binary rep ✨
