Re: Books

I barely finished the first Six of Crows book and didn't pick up the second, over a variety of issues but mostly Nina's pining romance for a guy who believes in genocide of people like her, met through attempting said genocide of her + her people, and on days when he's not happy with her he contemplates it some more even after his "redemption," with vivid descriptions of how much he wants to strangle her.

Not hating on your tastes, just kind of a warning for other nonnies that this book is not f/f, and maybe they do some gal pal bonding in book 2 but both of them had clearly telegraphed canon het ships, one being the one I just described, and the other ending the first book in a damseling for her male love interest's angst. The characters are both nice on their own and they're an aesthetically pleasing couple, but boy I wouldn't rec the canon for anything f/f. (There is some m/m, which is awkward for other reasons but anyway.)
