When does this get scary or tense or whatever everyone else was saying about it? Because right now I’m not really intrigued by anything and I’m pretty bored. A 700 page horror novel is kind of crazy. Stephen King only gets away with it because he spends three pages describing one street and the action starts right away.

Oh that poor baby 😭

I’ve always been on the fence about keeping children in the dark about finances because they’re really too young to worry about things like that and they tend to automatically blame themselves, but at the time it’s good to be aware of it? Not at seven, because Chris is right - math is hard and they should focus on getting better at math and reading. But kids are nosy and will find out anyway eventually.

The author did a great job of setting up the family dynamic before shit really gets crazy.

I just didn't care about this. Young adult is always a hit or miss for me and maybe I've just outgrown this kind of fantasy in general, I don't know. I was just extremely bored and I'm not going to waste my time hoping to end up liking a book just because it's popular. Did that with Game of Thrones and I hated it more and more as I read on so I'm not doing it anymore.
