Imperio by Iria Parente and Selene Pascual

[profiterole_reads]

Imperio by Iria Parente and Selene Pascual (Antihéroes, Anne sin Filtros, Desde Soulcial, ¿con amor?) was excellent. In the 22nd century, every year, 30 celebrities enter Imperio under the eyes of the audience, but only one wins. Expect alliances, betrayals and games dangerous enough that they sometimes lead to death.

This is a very long stand-alone novel, but it makes total sense as there are many characters, living together for several weeks, and a lot is always happening. The authors successfully tackle reality TV and social media, as even more of a dystopia than they can already be nowadays.

There's major f/f, where one of them is disabled (with a bionic arm and a bionic leg that she built herself). There's former m/m, but now they're fake-dating for the cameras. And there's a minor trans female character.

If a book with many pages is an interesting reading event, there's nothing wrong with it taking a little longer sometimes ♥

Yes, that's exactly why I don't keep statistics and don't set book goals for the year. I only try not to fall too behind the release schedule (I've been about 3 months behind for a while now, it oscillates between 2.5 and 4).

That is one of the reasons why my book goal for the year is only five books. I don't want to put myself under pressure. Everything what I read counts and sometimes you need a while for a book with 700 pages or more. :)
