    i can’t believe people call this series overhyped

    i genuinely cannot comprehend what people might possibly think is overhyped about this series. the world building is incredible, the pace is really good, the plot twists catch you off guard. it’s become my favorite book series and i can’t believe some people dnf it

    Just finished it and have some thoughts

    Does anyone also regret that the editing is kinda lacking? I feel like this book could have been exceptional, had the author been pushed to enrich her vocabulary and work a bit more on her descriptions. I've also spotted a few mistakes (inconsistent names). The story was thrilling and I liked the modernity of some of the scenes (iykyk), but I cannot help but feel that this errs more on the side of twilight/divergent than Eragon in terms of writing quality.

    Highly recommend the audiobook

    I looove when autobiographies are read by the author and this was no exception so I would highly recommend you listen to the audiobook if that's something that's available to you!

  • How many books do you read at once?

    I normally try and stick to just reading 2 books at once (usually an audio and physical) but I started a buddy read and I need to slow down, and I now have a physical, audio, ebook, and the buddy read. I feel like a crazy person. Am I? šŸ˜¶ā€šŸŒ«ļø

  • Dev Update! (07/14/25)

    Hi everyone! Here's a quick list of recent quality of life updates + bug fixes: - The most obvious: you probably noticed your feed is flooded with "badge earned" updates. There was a bug where, when a book was added to a Main Quest, those who had previously joined the Quest did not get credit for reading the newly added book. I fixed this bug and earned out badges for everyone (hence the feed getting flooded!). If you see anything still incorrect on your profile, email me at team@pagebound.co - there was a bug where the Edit option for your Reviews did not consistently show up in the ... (three dot menu) on the review card. This has been fixed! You can now edit your review anywhere you see it. - various infrastructure updates to help with server crashes + load times as we've seen a ton of growth on Pagebound over the past few weeks :) and of course, still working hard on the app! Our plan is to release to our first round of beta testers this month and publicly release before the end of the summer. Appreciate everyone's patience on this! On the bright side, there are TONS of updates on the app that address many feedback concerns we've seen lately :) Lastly, it's been so exciting to see all the new readers join us! Huge thank you to everyone who has sent good vibes, welcoming messages, and answered questions. This community is truly the best. Happy Reading šŸ’™šŸ’œ Jennifer & Lucy

    Loving this so far! I always forget to read the blurb of books I pick up once I’ve bought them, so I was a bit shocked when Ben ended up dead šŸ˜‚

    I couldn't finish this. I tried to read more last night at 65% in I'm just done. It is way too long.
