For the past year or so, I’ve been in a reading rut, and this book was unfortunately to blame.
A Quick Review of Exes & O’s
The Devil Wears Prada 2: The Death of Creativity
I, like a lot of fans of the original movie, was excited to learn that The Devil Wears Prada was getting a sequel. It’s been 20 long years since the original came out with its iconic characters, memorable quotes, and amazing fashion. I couldn’t help but wonder what kind of story does this sequel have to tell us after all these years?
The last thing I was expecting was the movie we got.

Spoiler for the A Court of Mist and Fury.
Wow, it’s been a minute!
That the trouble with data entry positions as a writer. The last thing you want to do after hours of typing is go home and do it all over again. On top of that I’ve just been generally burnt out from have to wakeup at 5am to get to work despite naturally being a night owl.
The one good thing about the job is that I can listen to audiobooks for 8 hours straight. That means biggest barrier for getting through each 20+ hour ACOTAR novels is the Libby waitlist. But after about 5 months, I’ve gotten through the series to date…And I have thoughts.
For the most part, this post will be about A Court of Mist and Fury. I already made a separate post discussing the first book, A Court of Thornes and Rose, here.

A Quick Review of A Court of Thornes and Roses by Sarah J Mass
I didn’t hate it, so there’s that. (ー_ー;)
But for real, this book wasn’t bad. It just failed to live up to the hype, so let’s get into that.
Audio Drama Updates!
I’m still waiting on the voice actors to finish their line, but in the meantime, I wanted to release the poster!
And while we’re at it, I’ll give another tidbit about the plot. One of the leads is a would-be superhero trying save to world. He doesn’t have a full grasp of his abilities but is still dedicated to doing what he can to help.
I Wrote An Audio Drama!
I partnered with the company Headfone to write an audio drama. It’s exciting because I’ve never done this kind of writing before, but I was excited to try my hand at something new.
The story follows two young men who meet during an apocalypse that’s been ongoing for most of their lives. I just finished writing the last episode, and it’s in the final stages of production.
I’ll give more info when the show is available for listening.
A Super Quick Review of November 9
Ben is full of so many red flags that he makes Edward Cullen look normal.
If you’ve heard the term love bombing floating around the internet lately and wanted an example, read this book. Otherwise, save yourself the time and mental energy to pick something else up.
Ben stalks Fallon, forces his way into her life, oversteps her boundaries, and forces his decisions on her, all while he intentionally refuses to open up to her. After Fallon discovers the truth and files a restraining order, Ben violates it to deliver his curated side of the story. (I also couldn’t help but notice that all the steamy scenes had to be from Fallon’s POV because we need to know she consented to his pushy advances.)
I’m okay with toxic characters. I’m okay with toxic romances. The thing I have a problem with is when the story endorses that toxicity and presents it as perfectly acceptable. Nothing Ben does is romantic or desirable, and the man should quite literally be in jail.
I wanted to try something different for the review’s format because sometimes I don’t have a lot to say about a book, or I want to avoid recapping the entire thing, or I just don’t have a lot of time to work on a post. I still haven’t decided if I’ll do more like this, but I like it so far.
Romance: Comfort in Predictability
Spoilers for the Sailor Moon franchise
The romance genre is a fascinating thing. It’s definitely the most common genre out there. You’d be hard-pressed to find a series that doesn’t even hint at a romantic subplot.

Recently I’ve been getting into romance novels. (Heads up, there’s a post in the works about that.) But I decided I wouldn’t review them because of how unavoidable spoiling them would be. But I realized I could get around it by talking about the general vibe of the story and avoiding details.
