My book art typically doesn’t do well here but I decided to doodle Patro and Achilles from Blood of Hercules <3
Also the blood of Hercules hate train is craazy, ts was funny asl even if it wasn’t written amazingly n had some cringe dialog, the mc was actually funny unlike half the booktok romantasy mcs 🙅♀️ if you hate it enough to post about it everywhere I’m convinced you didn’t listen to the audio book bc even if you didn’t like the writing, the narrators saved it 👅
Okay but like I just finished the book and scurries over to tumblr and—YEAH. The amount of hate this book gets is INSANE. Is it cringey? Yes. When I first read it was it kind of like a wattpad fanfic? Also yes. But, here’s what people aren’t getting: this is the DORITOS of books. Like, it’s not nutritious, you’re not reading it for symbolism. You’re reading it for pure fun and relaxation or (in my case) getting out of a reading slump. Finished it in 2 days. I can’t say I hate a book if I finish it THAT fast. And yes, Alexis is probably the best and most relatable MC I’ve ever read in this genre. She’s not a ‘badass’ or ‘if you say one thing to me I will kick your ass across the room’, she’s legit just a person who got sucked into an awful situation. When she does snap, it’s lowkey warranted. She’s quiet, keeps to herself, and has the most insane thoughts imaginable. Sorry for the rant, but I have to get this off my chest!!
