I’m seeing very mixed reviews about this so I’m intrigued! I hope it’s good :)

Reading them linearly feels painful to me in a way I can't describe. It feels as if the book will never end. It's not exactly hard to see the progress as usual, but I feel like I'm starting something and ending something over and over again, which brings about this feeling of desperation in me. My brain immediately wants to be done with the book entirely after finishing a story, but there's still more shorts to go. But then again, skipping around the book is not perfect either. I end up feeling extremely disorganised. Randomly opening up a story, reading it and then randomly picking up another irks something in me that wants to see the stories finished like dominoes, one at a time. It's hard enough being spontaneous to read a short story collection in the first place, you know I usually do end up skipping around the book regardless, and reading alongside another book to make the whole thing feel like a side quest. But I would love to know how you tackle anthologies on your own. Also, any good recommendations? So far, I've been reading from authors I'm obsessed with and haven't ventured to anthologies from a collection of authors.

What is your typical go-to drink when you read? I usually make iced caramel latte, cappuccino or tea ^_^

I’ve been a fan of Rachel Gillig for years, loved the One Dark Window duology. When this book was announced I was SO excited, the concept, the cover… yes. Near everyday since the ARCs have gone out and I see people posting reels/stories of them opening this book I’m just about out of my seat. I neeeeeed to read it, I’m dying over here…. is it May yet 😭

I struggled a little with this book vs book one. The change in POV/format was a little hard for me, but it was worth it! What a wonderful duology/ending.
