What's TWF?

TWF or "The Wallflowers" is an upcoming slice of life and coming-of-age Visual Novel coded and made entirely by me as my long-term passion project! It will have character creation, be fully voice-acted, and have custom music! I've been in the process of creating it since 2020.

The story centers around three young adults: Ashley, Camille, and Peyton, who each have their own character growth, issues, and personal challenges to face near the end of their first semester of college.

In the game after the introduction and choosing to shadow one of the girls, You take the role of a disembodied person (?) that only the respective girl can see and communicate with. Kinda like you're their subconscious helping them through the end of the semester. The game doesn't have as much of a 4th wall as the girl (depending on which one you choose!) you shadow will most likely be speaking to *you* rather than the person you're pretending to be.

That's as much as I can say without giving away the big plot bc there are multiple endings and a secret ending too.

NOTE: I received a complimentary eARC of this book from Skyscape through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

After reading The Rule of One and not really liking it, I didn’t have very high hopes for The Rule of Many but I’m happy to say I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the second book FAR more than the first.

I found The Rule of One to be very slow, to the point of being boring most of the time, way too preachy, and a little confusing to figure out who’s point of view it was most of the time because Mira and Ava’s personalities were way too similar. However, almost all those issues were washed away with the second book.

The Rule of Many was action-packed pretty much from start to finish with very little downtime between but also just enough to give you those small heartfelt moments when they were really needed, there was no hint of the previous books constant preachiness that were obviously aimed at today’s current political climate, and Mira and Ava’s characters evolved beyond each other to become two unique and fierce individuals. I also loved the added chapters from other characters points of view as well, it gave us points of views from different areas instead of just being focused on wherever Mira and Ava were and really broke up the monotony that happened with the first book of only going back and forth between Mira and Ava playing the same scene over again from each sister’s point of view.

It was so nice to finally find a book that didn’t suffer from sequelitis but that actually had the complete opposite outcome and was better than the first book! It gives me hope that the third will be even better!

The Rule of Many by Ashley & Leslie Saunders is available now. Check it out on Goodreads!

[mobilepubliclibraryteens]

 Born to a death sentence in a near-future America, rebellious sisters herald a revolution—if they can survive.

Twins Ava and Mira Goodwin defy the Rule of One simply by existing. The single-child law, ruthlessly enforced by Texas’s Governor Roth, has made the sisters famous fugitives and inspirations for the resurgent rebellion known as the Common.

But the relentless governor and his implacable Texas State Guard threaten that fragile hope, as Roth consolidates his power in a bid for ultimate authority.

As Ava and Mira relinquish the relative safety of their Canadian haven to stand against Roth, new allies arise: Owen, a gifted young programmer, impulsively abandons his comfortable life in a moment of compassion, while Zee, an abused labor camp escapee, finds new purpose in resistance.

The four will converge on Dallas for a reckoning with Roth, with nothing less than their destinies—and the promise of a future free from oppression—on the line.

Disobedience means death. But a life worth living demands rebellion.

New-to-Me Authors I Read In 2018 | Top Ten Tuesday

New-to-Me Authors I Read In 2018 | Top Ten Tuesday

The topic this week is New-to-Me Authors I Read In 2018!

I always hesitate to read new authors a bit because I’m always in the middle of so many different series that I really need to finish. Now and then I cave when I think a book will be particularly good – and often I’m rewarded with a new favourite author who I have to keep reading. Which means more books on my TBR. Hurray…? Sometimes…
