"Torrent realized that he had found a lover, and her name was hate."

Do NOT like the writing of this.

There are. So. Many. Plotlines.

Hello again!🤗 Today I was thinking about how excited I am to do a year wrap up when the year ends (obviously 🤣) and I want to ask you the same questions I asked my self, so here they go: 1- What's your favorite book of the year so far? 2- Which book/books you were so hyped for but ended up being a disappointment? 3- Which new author/authors you found out this year and feel in love with? 4- Which book/books you thought you would give 1 star but ended up giving 4/5 stars? 5- How close are you to complete your reading challenge (if you have one)? I hope everyone has a nice weekend and thank you for letting be your very curious book friend 🤣🫶

Finally, a list I feel I can complete, ahah Maybe the GoT will ruin it for me, but we'll see 😏

the first sentence is: Meredith Wren, a fucking asshole, not that it matters at this stage of the narrative but it’s worth pointing out. So I’ll love this

From my pre-reading, people online seem to not like this book as much as others because it's the first half of the final book. So it doesn't have much of a conclusion, etc, so I expected to have that feeling and hedge my expectations. But I'm finding myself not really caring about the POVs. As I've said in many of the other books, why am I spending time with all these new people? But like, I'm 2/3 through (I guess technically 1/6 through) and still feeling this way? There are like 15 Barghast POVs and for what? I do not care about a single one of them. A bunch of other people from various countries on this continent, and majority are boring and I don't care about them. I care about probably half the POVs but there are (I just checked the spreadsheet) 138 POVs in this book and we're spending SO MUCH TIME with the ones I don't care abouttttt like everything happening with the Barghast and these outer countries is snoozeville and I hope it wraps up soon. Thank you for listening
