popcorn gives the wind weaver by julie johnson two and a half stars ⭐️⭐️💫
this book read like ACOTAR fanfiction which is not necessarily a bad thing, except the plot did not start until the 90% mark. NINETY PERCENT of the book was the main character rhya learning about the world she lives in. the magic (aka maegic) system was interesting, but the plot should have been woven in much earlier.
popcorn does NOT like the main male character penn because he is abusive and mean. the other male character soren was in the book for approx. 2 sentences but has potential- perhaps book 2 will continue the ACOTAR fanfiction trajectory and give us ACOMAF vibes.

popcorn gives this poison heart by kalynn bayron three stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️
popcorn really loved the characters in this book. popcorn loved the main character briseis and her cool plant powers, but the real stars were her moms known as mom and mo. popcorn loves them.
the pacing of this book felt off. the first 75% honestly felt like an info dump that lead to the actual plot that happened in the final pages of the book.
if you like a book that’s heavy on descriptions, this poison heart may be for you.

popcorn gives rebel witch by kristen ciccarelli three and a half stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
popcorn appreciated how fast paced this sequel to heartless hunter was but had issues with pacing in the third act.
there were also some plot points that felt lazy, like multiple people somehow knowing to show up at their “secret” hideout. some plot threads were also brought up once then never explored? although popcorn won’t go into that here to avoid spoilers.

popcorn gives caraval by stephanie garber 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
popcorn needed a book that would be plot-focused from page one and this delivered. whimsical, fun, but confusing at times. having read and loved once upon a broken heart previously, some of the scenes felt a bit repetitive.
also popcorn was promised jacks appeared in this series where the fuck was he.
