i dunno i’m getting sorta bored with these

i think it’s just cause every single book they gave even more impossible challenges but it’s lost its shock factor/the stakes because it’s obvious he’s gonna get out of it in some ridiculous way. i think the novelty of the insane thrill of the series has worn off

Excited to start on this! Here we gooooo

Okay listen purple prose isn’t terrible, I like it sometimes but there are times that she uses a word that I go “literally NO ONE uses this word” (and this is coming from a somewhat pretentious sounding guy who is into old niche things but like have you really used Numinosity [which if I’m really getting picky is only like 90 years old in its use anyway] and I think, effluvium just now?) and especially when it’s said by our main character - her trying to write it off by having the plague doctor say oh you’re surprisingly verbose and her essentially saying that when you don’t have conversation you teach yourself instead essentially - are you telling me that your shit ass husband gave you dictionaries to read or what? Were you reading books in the ocean before your capture? Like what do you MEAN GIRLY YOU CAN’T JUST SAY THAT. Did I misunderstand the implication of that statement or???

Hola Bookaholics!!

Here is my question to you:

What matters most: great writing or a great idea? 🤔

I love how it took Donut this long to finally feel that Prepotente is weird. She really sees the best in everyone, except for cocker spaniels. 😅
