I have to admit that i always skip prologue and jump to read chapter 1 👀 edited: Why do I skip prologues and jump straight to chapter one?

I mostly read 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, and after reading a few prologues, I noticed they often 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗹 things — like the 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗺𝗮, 𝗮 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗽𝗹𝗲’𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗲 — all of which 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗽 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 anyway. (This happens not just in dark romance, but in romance in general.) For 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀, I tend to skip prologues because they usually 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝘄𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝗽 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆.

So for me, whatever’s in the prologue usually gets mentioned again in the chapters, which makes it feel unnecessary to read!

This is one of those books that's so good I'm going to be bereft when I finish it 🥲

oh. oh n—no 😧

She's definitely writing what she knows. I don't hate it, however, but my single braincell is fighting for her life (in a good way)

“Her sky-blue skin…her dark blue hair”

you’re telling me this girl is a smurf????

I think I'm currently reading like 4 different books right now and none of them are the same and I have what feels like an infinite number of books that I absolutely need to read and I wish I could just absorb it all like a multivitamin. this is a great issue to have but I am always distracted by all the new things I want to learn and know specifically through books

I feel better now I just had to say this somewhere

PLEASE recomend me a good short book. I don't know what happened but this september I've made terrible choices with books, DNF like half a dozen, and the huge one I did finish took forever and was just ok. I really really need to pick a good one this time 🥹
