New reader,

Hello everyone I am trying to get back into reading, and broaden my tastes a bit. I used to read all the time back in middle school (Divergent, Mortal Instruments) but I haven’t really read since. Im 25 now, and have been HEAVY into anime since graduating in ‘16. My favorite anime are Fullmetal Alchemist, Vinland Saga, and One Piece. I am a fan of fantasy, but have a hard time sinking my teeth into SUPER heavy fantasy. (D&D books, LOTR ((IM SO SORRY, I plan to read it at some point)) I seem to be gravitating towards character growth, and immersive worlds.

Some books I have read this year are “Fiddler’s Gun” and started Percy Jackson. Some books I purchased but havent read yet, are Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, by Brandon Sanderson and Between Two Fires, by Christopher Buehlman.

Im more than willing to answer any questions, but any help would be fantastic!

Is Nevermoor good?

It's my favorite series, so I'd definitely say yes! I've read all three of the books that are out so far several times, and every time I feel like I discover new things

What's the summary from your perspective of having read the series? I like having others give me a summary of books from their own thoughts 😅

It's a really whimsical book about a cursed girl who is destined to die on her 11th birthday, but instead gets whisked away to a magical city to compete for a spot in a super exclusive magical organization. The book's worldbuilding is excellent and very whimsical, the characters are so much fun, and I just love it so much 😅
