    Slowly getting into it, finally! I'm still not reaching for this book but once I start, I'm reading quite a bit at once. The characters and writing are not my favourites but it's ok. But what is that pacing??? It's feels incredibly inconsistent and all over the place.

    I'm a bit bored tbh... Anyone else had the same feeling but pushed through and is therefore able to tell me if it's worth it? Shouldn't there be a hint of logic in the storyline by now?

    How on earth is it possible that this book hasn’t already been adapted into a movie/show?

    Listen, I want to like - maybe even love - this but it's just really mid so far. While I relate to Kiela in some instances, reading about her is also very irritating when it comes to everything else. Same with the writing and atmosphere. You can tell, the author is trying to build this whimsical, beautiful island life but somehow... it isn't really landing for me. It feels kinda shallow if you get what I mean. But then again - it might get better? Right?

    It's getting somewhere! I'm not sure if I enjoy it tbh but I appreciate the atmosphere and writing as well as the commentary/themes. It would be interesting to disscet those and symbolism in here.
