Ok so I got into the inheritance games, read the first one, am currently reading the second one (Hawthorne Legacy) but I can't seem to find the third one (final Gambit)
The release date for Final Gambit reads as 30th August 2022........but I've seen people talking about it???
So has it been released yet?? If so where can I find it??
I have a type:
Dark haired, intelligent, emotional, psychopaths
I came searching for other people’s opinions on thiss after reading this in The Brother’s Hawthorne:
Avery calls him restless on the next page. “You have been for months.”
Hot(?) take:
Xander and Jameson Hawthorne have adhd
OMG!! It feels like forever since I’ve posted so here’s an edit of my favourite Hawthorne lovers>>
Soooo I finished the final gambit the third book in the Hawthorn Legacy series. I'm not gonna lie my main thought for each chapter was "Gray don't piss me off."
Overall this third book kind of fell off for me??? Like first book was okay, and I really liked the second book, but this book I really feel like they were trying to shove so many twists and turns in such a small timeframe that we really didn't even have time to sit down and be like, "Shit Tobey is in trouble," "Shit Eve shouldn't be trusted." I just personally feel like the pace moved sooo fast.
On top of that idk how I feel about the characters in this book. I actually finally warmed up to Avery in this third book bc homegirl was finally standing on business. She really tried to clock Eve and I love that for her bc WE ALL KNEW THAT GIRL WAS WEIRD LETS BE FR. I'm glad jameson stood beside her to but GRAY.
Dont pisss me awf.
The way that Gray switched up on Avery sooooo quick just bc Eve looked like Emily pissed me off. I fully understand that this is a sore spot for Gray but he has been going on and on about him being the heir and him needing to compose himself but as soon as Eve came in that mf turned into a brainless idiot. Bro was so mad at Avery for being suspicious of her he failed to see how obviously weird she was. Tobey didn't want her there for a reason, she asked specific questions for a reason SHE LEGIT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE. Like Gray USE YOUR BRIAN USE YOUR BRAIN USE IT THAT THING IN YOUR HEAD! Like she couldnt be more obvious but Gray was like "Looks like Emily close enough." I knew Gray was cooked when he called her Evie rhyming with Emily. idk i feel like Gray is one more Emily look-alike away from turning into Rebecca mom.
Can we also talk about how they just brushed past the fact that Xander's dad actually WANTED him and wanted to fight for custody of him. Skye and Tobias Hawthorn if you have no haters i am dead. For most of the boys dads not wanting to be in their lives and this man WANTED his son. I wish we could have seen more of what the both of them are feeling. Imagine seeing your son/dad for the first time and they want to be with you.
When I got to the ending I really wasn't surprised to find out why Avery was picked to inherit everything. It's just like a rich person to pick a random citizen to take the fire. Tobias really gave the fortune to Avery so his sons wouldn't have to deal with his mistakes which I can understand people are like "Aw he cared about his grandsons" and he also fucked over a bunch of people and damn near sentenced Avery to death just bc she was smart. bro really said "My bad I did this bc id rather you die than them sawry but hey you made it this far!" I would have been pissed if I was her.
So I dooo have the spin-off book The Brothers Hawthorn but imma take a break from that series and start something new. I'm currently reading Hooked, yeah that one book from Booktok. But in the next few days, ill post about season 1&2 of Bridgerton and queen charlotte so look out for those!
So I finished the book before my shift right and GUYSSSSSSS. The amount of info they give you in the last few chapters is insane! Zarah being in love with Nash's dad and Sky swooping him. Zarah's affair with OREN OF ALL PEOPLE. Ricky actually being Avery's father but Toby is her adoptive dad. Tobey has another daughter, AVERY GETTING BLOWN UP AND KIDNAPPED IN LESS THAN A WEEK. Lord it's a wonder why anyone in this story is sane because I personallyyyyyyyyyyy id turn into an alcoholic really quick. I feel like with every new ounce of information is brought up the kids really never get to sit and digest it. Grayson met his dad and within the same month he was dead, even if he hated his son and Gray didn't know him it still must have done a number on him mentally. And with Nash to find out your father was sent away for years bc ur mom and your aunt couldn't settle their beef was wild, I would be unfathomably pissed at the situation. And AVERY the rollercoaster of her thinking Tobey is her bio dad and then finding out Rickey is her bio dad, along with realizing she never knew her mom's real identity and finding out Tobey accidentally killed her aunt and that's how he and her mom met. Finding out they were in love finding out she has a grandmother likeeeeeee. I don't know how shes even functioning y'all. But that's all for this book!!! I'll update soon with my next read
Okay sooo I really should have chewed through this book in a day but work is taking up a lot of my time. But my thoughts so far is I'm liking this book far better than the first one. FINALLY getting to see at least a little bit of how Libby feels about everything and not just having her as a side character is so refreshing. And the turns? Did I Guess that Toby was probably Avery's dad yeah, but I did NAWT guess that he be adopted and dun adopted from the Laughlins at alllll that part was so interesting and it made it sooo clear as to why Mr. and Mrs. Laughlin reacted the way they did when they found out Avery and the boys went into Toby's old wing. This harem with Jameson and Grayson is getting out of control in my opinion, from the jump they made is sooooo obvious which brother she was gonna end up with so why put Grayson through the turmoil for, what in my opinion, is a cheap attempt at creating some sort of romantic discord. I think the whole "I like you but I shouldn't bc ur kinda bad news," type thing with Jameson was enough and I feel like if they focused a little more on that then adding gray in this would eat. Anyways I should be posting my final review in maybe two-ish days or even tonight byeeee
Currently reading the final gambit and guys im not into this genre or whatever, i don't love jameson or anything, but lets give him credit -- he is a green flag. He's sm better than many fictional men out there.
He's attentive, has amazing communication skills, waits for consent on the smallest of things and waited for Avery (and still could wait) to be ready, or not. I don't want to see anybody hating on him just because you wanted Grayson better. (Which btw, he needs therapy, not in a slander way)
i think you guys are too rough with graysons trauma, you can be team jameson without be a grayson slander!
two days for "the final gambit" releases!!
don’t ask me how or why but after reading the inheritance games book one, i’ve determined that “lions inside” by valley of wolves is the inheritance games theme song.
i swear this is about to become a series of me rambling theme songs for various books/shows/etc. smh
Just finished rereading Inheritance Games today, October eighteenth🤭
