Max Rambles: Most Ardently

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ve GOT to talk about this book !!! I’ve decided not to frame this post as a review because I’m honestly just going to be rambling here.. anyways, let’s get to the point. There may be spoilers in this post, though I haven’t typed far enough to know yet. Seriously just typing along as I go here, folks.

This was my fourth book finished this month and out of all four I think this one and Hell Followed With Us were the two I couldn’t put down. I mean I was having to resist the urge to read this at work. Work! The brainrot is far too real. That being said, the book was fabulous. It was fairly short and incredibly enticing read. Most Ardently is a book reimagining Elizabeth Bennett as Oliver Bennett, a trans man in the Regency era. All of the social expectations of the time make for plenty of hurdles to jump, and it made for a very satisfying climax and conclusion. Hell, all of it was satisfying. I enjoyed every minute of this book and it definitely didn’t over stay its welcome. In fact, I would have easily eaten up another fifty or one hundred pages if that had been in the cards for this book. Seriously, it was that great.

Most Ardently was flavorful. The descriptions of the environments, clothes and even the sounds surrounding Oliver was just a delight to read. I could easily picture everything described. Everything was vivid. And I just love picturing the fashion and cities of that time period. The architecture! It’s all just really fascinating to me and I devoured every little description given to me like I was starving. Which, I was. I need more books that fit into this little niche of lgbtq folk in the past that I’m so ravenous about.

I felt Oliver’s emotions on such a strong level. His joy at finally being able to express himself in a way that feels natural to him is something that I can certainly relate to and it was really refreshing to read about those moments. I felt! Emotions! The happiness I felt for him at the conclusion of this novel was just so good.

Things turned out okay- amazing, even. I was so so overjoyed to read a story that involved a trans person coming out who received acceptance from both parents when everything was revealed. It was refreshing for me.

Also, real talk, I’m not as intimately familiar with the original source material as most people are. I’m officially putting the Pride and Prejudice on my TBR after finishing this one. I’m only now just getting back to reading and I’ve already got this huge pile of books to read beginning to grow. I love it though, and I’m definitely enjoying returning back to reading. Most Ardently has only served to make me more enthusiastic about continuing to read, and for that, I thank it. I’ll definitely be returning to this one sooner rather than later.

A Review of Carry On From a Series Newbie

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hi all! I’ve recently gotten back into reading and wanted to challenge myself to make a review, even if it might just be me rambling. That being said, if you haven’t read this book yet, then please know that this review is likely to have some spoilers.

Anyways, this is my first time jumping into this series! I’m a little late to the party, but I’m okay with that.

For me, this was the kind of novel that I had to have patience with. The first hundred/hundred and fifty pages or so were admittedly boring, but I think they were necessary. Without them, I wouldn’t have had the understanding of the characters’ connections to each other. Having said that, though, I feel like the exposition could have been a little bit more condensed. What with how long all of it was, I thought I had missed out on another book where these characters had gone through everything Simon was offhandedly mentioning.

Once I got through that first part, things really picked up for me. Seeding little bits about Baz here and there in the beginning made me very curious to finally meet him, so when he finally showed up, I was delighted! He’s a broody character that I immediately got attached to and I found him to be a lot of fun.

And, speaking of characters, I enjoyed all of them. Penny was one of my favorites and I loved that she was as relevant as she was. Agatha was interesting and a good contrast for the others in the group. Her past relationship with Simon and her growth by the end of the book was satisfying. I liked Simon’s energy and the interactions between him and Baz. The whole enemies to lovers thing is a classic for a reason, yall! I wish I had gotten to see more from The Mage before he was killed off. I feel like a few more scenes of him could have been cool to see, but I did enjoy his ending. He deserved what he got.

Regardless of all that though, I’m wondering why I never got my hands on this book when I was younger and why I hadn’t heard of it until now. It released around my Percy Jackson/City of Bones/Shiver days and I feel like I would have eaten this up. Carry On reminds me of something I would have picked up and ravenously read during our 30 minutes of silent reading time in late middle school and early high school, and I love it for that.

In short, It reminds me of my teenage days in the good way. To me, this book feels like reading in the back of a classroom or a school bus and roleplaying through Kik with your best friend at the start of summer.

I don’t normally post videos of my drawings but,,, here I am lol. Pose reference used is from Pinterest, but I don’t know the artist. If you know them, please let me know so I can credit!

Anywho I decided I needed a new phone background, so I decided I wanted to draw these two for it :) as you can see, I like using blocky shading instead of straight up blending. And after a looong few months of art block I’m happy to finally have finished a piece after what feels like forever <3

(Also this is my art account- my main is @/swirlingidiocy which is why the signature is different than my account name)
