Dear Evan Hansen: The NovelSoooooo Evan's anxiety..... I feel seen.
Also all the self-loathing and feeling like a burden.....
I loved the musical (I haven't actually seen it, but I love the music!) so getting to be in Evan's head and see Connor's perspective....
I love that the audiobook was read by the actors that play Evan and Connor (and we get to hear Zoey singing).

Apex by Mercedes Lackey

ApexIt was better than the last two...but I think it was because there were more battles, so there was less narration. I love the concept of the story and the setting...but can we just get rid of the main character....  I think I would have liked her better if there was more showing and less telling of how amazing and strong she is... And if there was character growth and development and....flaws, you know, besides her personality...
I feel like Jefferson in "Washington by Your Side" in Hamilton.....
...I swear I don't hate everyone.

Elite by Mercedes Lackey

Elite (Hunter Series #2)I can get past her personality. I can get past her personality. If I can just ignore her "I want to learn things" when her character clearly knows "everything".....I'm not cranky...
I can get past her condescending and judgmental personality. She's more than a Mary Sue.
I want to like her...because there are moments when she's not annoying, but I think I'm just being prejudiced against her... I just don't believe her.
Way to take an entire religion, stereotype it based on a tiny sect, and paint it in a bad and inaccurate light.
Yup all people who believe the same things act the same way; no need to get to know the person individually. And they believe in different things that appear to be stupid, so they must be stupid...
I'm just gonna be over here on my soap box about how stereotyping a religion and the people who practice that religion, and assuming you know them because you've seen people like them before is just a really crappy thing to do. And she thinks she's so forward thinking... Alexa play that song by Lily Allen that was in Pitch Perfect and was performed by the sock puppets... (;
....like....can you try empathy and seeing from someone's perspective instead of judging their views, please....

Ignite by Sara B Larson

Ignite (Defy Series #2)So my brain thought of the scene in the Little Mermaid where Ursula is disguised and is singing on the boat before the wedding...
And there's a specific moment from How To Train Your Dragon 2.
Aaaand Ella Enchanted.
This one was definitely better than the first one.
Also protect the cute baby.

Defy by Sara B Larson

Defy (Defy Series #1)...the main character's name is Alexa...how am I supposed to not...like..make Alexa jokes... So I'm really glad she went by Alex for a lot of the book..
I love Alexa's heart and how much she cares. I think that could have been a really amazing thing to explore, because she has a different perspective (because she's a GIRL)--like I would have loved to see more with the women's houses and fighting the system there. There could have been like a hundred pages of "character vs. world" conflict. Less angst about boys (dare I say it) and more angst about the world... I dunno.
..I kinda wish it had been darker...like...I dunno... Maybe it's because I'm in a dark and gloomy fantasy kick rn...
I feel like the conflict could have been done better, and there could have been more showing/observing of the characters.
I really liked the concept and the characters. I love Damian and Rylan. They're cool.

Crimson BoundArmand is great. Rachelle is great. Armand, like I said, is great.
I love fantasy and fairy tales, and I loved the atmosphere of this book.
I had a gif in mind at one point and I lost it.
........Dude all the Catholic things... and the imagery and metaphors...Confession is a wonderful thing.
Like I know that it's not technically Catholicism in the book, but like....come on.
Totally had some The Last Battle vibes going on there for a sec.
Ok but she's a Catholic author, and I love her.
