@whatsmadisonreadingnow: I asked people to recommend me books they DIDN’T like, but I have a personal TBR too and Alchemised has taken over my brain. I haven’t read the source work, but couldn’t resist picking this up and I’m SO glad I did!! #BookTok #bookish
I am so confused by all the negative reviews of this book

unpopular opinion possibly but it's time to let manacled die I think. alchemised is far and away better, the world building, magic, characters etc, just so much better. hp was holding Sen back imho

Don't bother with manacled. The world building in alchemised is so much better.

I recommend waiting a while to read manacled once you’re done! The world and magic system is different but she was able to keep everything else pretty much the same! To me it feels like a re-read but better since there’s some differences!

Chelsea Thomasson :
this book is top tier literature and I'm convinced those who don't like it are use to lighter reads with easy to follow plots, which is totally fine but THIS IS A WORK OF ART!

You’re the first review I’ve seen from someone who didn’t read Manacled first. It’s really cool hearing about it through unbiased eyes, and knowing it’s just as remarkable as its own story. I have read Manacled several times and worried I had rose colored glasses when it came to this story. Your review solidifies my own opinions of how amazing this book is.

So happy to hear how much you’re loving it. I read Manacled years ago and absolutely loved it. I was worried this wouldn’t live up to it. I think I’ll make it my next read.

Also currently reading this one rn! I did read the original almost 2 years ago tho but the differences really elevate the story and make it so much more than what it was

Manacled was unreal. But I would give this a breather before going into that.
