Full review It was mostly 'Eh' What I liked - honestly, the only thing i really liked was the romance. I loved how cute and PG it was. Especially since they lived together (as apprentice and teacher). It was clear that nothing was going to happen until marriage!! And i loved that they sent each other letters everyday when they were not together! So old school and charming (literally and figuratively) “You are the kind of woman who makes me believe in God, Ceony” - Oh, i liked the end too! It d
1.5/5This is a slight improvement over the other two, but overall a sore disappointment to what I was expecting. This series is a hot mess. I started The Paper Magician thinking that I'll be thrown into a magical world full of magicians and the like. My problem with the first one is the lack of world building and how 90% of the plot are just flashbacks. My problem with the second one is mainly our protagonist and how she spends full time lusting over her love's green eyes, how the romance overth...
This series was so bad I can't even believe I finished it. I think it's actually the first time I really have nothing good to say about a book since I've joined goodreads. It's apparently okay to have racist and sexist themes if it's in the 1700's and the author made a weak qualifier for her villain choice in book one? Sorry, but HECK NO. The gender norms were awful, but add the fact that the only significant character that was a person of color was a villain psycho killer and you have some of t...
The final book in this series was lucky it caught me on a good day or it would have been a 2 star rating. - Emery is lovely and I love him;- Ceony is a twit. Watching her throw herself into stupid situations just got so boring by the end;- The idea of 'folding' as a magic system was still just so fascinating to me. That was the one part of the series that I can say absolutely was cool and held my attention with no problem;- The (should be) high drama scenes in all three of the books fell extreme...
For some reason, Ceony annoyed the crap out of me in this installment.The annoying things she did were not new, though. What seemed different to me was that, in previous books, when she threw herself into stuff that wasn't her business or was "above her pay grade", you could really kind of understand why. It was a spur of the moment emergency, or her family was threatened.But in this one, she came off as a smug know-it-all who was doing dumb stuff for no sympathetic reason. She gave the impressi...
“I’ve been shot to hell, haven’t I?”“Language, love.” I'm gonna be completely honest with you guys and say that, even though I still love this series, the action, the surprising dark turns these books sometimes take, the perfect humor and the magic system with all the magic stuff it comes with, I mainly stayed for the characters and for their romance.I found myself liking Ceony less and less with every book, but she ended up being okay in the end. I don't wanna strangle her anymore for on

I'M SWOONING GUYS. FUDGING SWOONING.I loved everything about this book, this series, and I can't believe it's over. I'm depressed. I want another book right now. In my lovely, small, child-like hands because I can't accept that kind of ending. NO, I need more. I want more. I see and know that there is going to be a fourth book, The Plastic Magician but I want more of Ceony and Emery right now! I wanted to read about their wedding, their family growing, and the whole shebang. That is why I can't
