I'm a reader (she/her) from Germany, who likes everything fantasy and queer, but I also love to venture into new genres and themes. I'd love to get to know more people who like books as much as I do!

    I think I didn't have to look up so many words in a while, which is exciting (new vocab yay) but it's getting a bit hard to follow

    I liked it! It took me some time to get into it, but after that I could barely put it down. The characters were great, the story compelling and the magic exciting. The ending was a liiiittle bit underwhelming and confusing. All in all, I really enjoyed reading it, though!

    I am in possession of the German e-Arc (yay me!) and I can feel my "I support women's rights, but more than that, I support women's wrongs"-senses tingling. I like it. :D

    There ARE words to describe how you feel when you "want to live inside" someone, Aleksey. They're "I'm super mega gay for this 5'6 glasses-wearing nerd"

  • Borrow, Buy, Burn

    A literary take on F, Marry, Kill game. What's a book that was metaphorically appealing enough to take home for a night or two, but you wouldn't commit to outside of the library, or [insert borrowing platform that applies]? What's a book that you love so much, you would literally buy all special edition covers for, or whatever goes for a six carat diamond ring? What's a book that a regular bin isn't enough, you need to see the pages on fire, even at the risk of looking like someone who supports banning books? I'll go first Borrow - Cleopatra and Frankenstein ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜† There was no love lost with the prose , plot and the characters, but I enjoyed flipping through the pages and reading the mess. I just couldn't relate to it, but would recommend for fans of Sex and the City, and Vanderpump Rules. Buy - Small Gods (discworld) ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜… It was more than just a fantasy book. It was funny, it was deep, it was clever, and it was witty. It was everything a book could be. Burn - The Invisible Life of Addie La Rue ā˜…ā˜†ā˜†ā˜†ā˜† Great gowns, beautiful gowns - Aretha Franklin

    Thoughts from 50% (page 156)

    This book feels _so_ slow, but I still quite like it (which is puzzling). Seems like the pace might be quickening a bit now - fingers crossed! I really like the characters, but a whole series in this pace might be too much for me.

    So, I liked it better than the first one. It's more approachable, the pacing is faster and since I knew more about the world, I could follow the characters better. I have much understanding for Simon and Miriamele, the teenager/young adults being thrust into a traumatising set of events. But I desperately need some character development for them in the next book, because my patience is getting tested here. I will however wait for the end of the series to cast my final judgement. Overall, it was a nice read and since I don't read a lot of classical hero's journey stuff, it is actually nice to read about it. Very nostalgic!
