18/10/2025 3 ⭐ This was such a letdown. I just felt so confused the whole time, and not in a fun way. I don't know if I just missed a sentence somewhere, but it took me wayy too long to figure out what was going on. I really enjoy DWJ's worlds and how she writes magic, but something got a bit lost in the sauce here, at least for me.

17/10/2025 3 ⭐ I didn't love this, but I can absolutely see the potential the series has, so I will absolutely be continuing, especially since the narrators are people like Tom Baker and Anthony Head??? Absolutely insane lineup that I wish I'd known about sooner, honestly.

What do you mean TOM BAKER is the narrator??? I just started crying hearing his voice and had to start the book all over again 😆

17/10/2025 3 ⭐ I did it. I finally finished this god damn book. I tried to read this one many, many times as a kid, but could never get through it, and I even tried to read it a few years ago without any success. So, to finally be able to say that after something like 15 years, I've finally finished Inkheart, is an amazing feeling and one I wasn't sure I would ever actually experience. As for the actual story, it was pretty good but a lot darker than I had remembered, so maybe don't give this one to the younger kids, maybe leave it for the 13+ kids.

Please please please tell me someone has a recommendation for other novellas or full length romances like this one! The combo of a space setting, forced proximity/isolated setting and an obsessed down bad man was a 10/10 for me and I can't stop thinking about it tbh.
Some recs I've thought of are These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner + Scarlet & Cress by Marissa Meyer

Talking to me while I have my earbuds in and I'm listening to an audiobook is how you end up in an irl thriller book with me as the antagonist. You see these earbuds in and me purposely ignoring you. It does not mean speak louder so I can hear you. 😮💨

11/20/2025 3.5 ⭐ I didn't love this nearly as much as I loved The Emperor's Soul, but I still liked it, and I can tell it's going to be important for the rest of Stormlight.

13/10/2025 3.5 ⭐ I think I said this about the first book, too, but with this series, anything could be happening, and they could be trying to solve literally any murder, and I wouldn't care. I don't need to know who did it, I'm just here for the laughs and the vibes and Richard Osman always provides.
