Hopped around a few different genres but really enjoyed all the books I read in June:

  • The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King by Carissa Broadbent
  • The Strange by Nathan Ballingrud
  • On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong
  • Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman

I read the Broadbent one! How did you like the second book compared to the first? I feel like the one thing that kinda fell flat is that every fight was described as the hardest fight ever, so when the last battle came the author was just rehashing those same descriptions.

Still, I enjoyed the story, and those books were far more well-written than most in the Romantacy genre.
