Hey book bestie Reader

I just finished The Dark Lord's Guide to Dating (and Other War Crimes), and I have thoughts.

This ended up being a 3-star read for me—which, in my world, means it wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't a book I'm going to be obsessing over anytime soon.

And before anyone comes for me... 😅

One of my favorite things about reading is that every reader experiences a book differently. Just because something didn't fully click for me doesn't mean you won't absolutely love it.


A Quick Vibe Check

This book has:

🖤 a dark lord trying to navigate romance

✨ fantasy elements mixed with humor

👀 plenty of quirky moments

💘 a premise that immediately caught my attention

The concept itself was honestly what made me want to pick it up in the first place.


💭 What I Talk About in My Review

This isn't a deep literary analysis.

It's simply my honest reader reaction.

I share:

✨ what worked for me

🤔 what didn't quite land

📖 my overall reading experience

👀 who I think might enjoy this book more than I did

Because sometimes the most helpful review isn't a glowing 5-star rave—it's knowing whether a book matches your reading tastes.

Honestly, I'm always fascinated by the books that divide readers the most. Sometimes those end up becoming someone else's favorite read of the year.

Happy reading,
