    I was intimidated going into this after reading some of the non-spoiler posts, especially with it being YA & my current trend of DNFing them because I cannot connect with the main characters (I’m getting old). I don’t know if the main character, Vis, being male is also making a difference, because it’s a POV that I don’t run across often enough. Either way, I am enjoying the world building and I have questions that will hopefully be answered as I continue. My fingers are crossed that I continue to enjoy it!

    Despite knowing nothing about ice dancing, I REALLY enjoyed the dive into this cutthroat world. The documentary/interview-style format and short narrative chapters really kept the momentum going even in the slower parts, and even the minor characters had so much personality. The romance between Kat and Heath was obsessive, infuriating, mysterious but ultimately compelling - Layne Fargo did a great job paying tribute to Wuthering Heights and it was definitely my favorite part of this read. Recommend!

  • Recs?

    Does anyone have any recommendations for short standalones? Books you could read in one sitting. I'm open to a lot of genres.

    Ginny’s first appearance has me wondering how far out Rowling plotted before writing… it seems intentional that Ginny is named and described in such detail, planting the seeds for later books

  • What's everyone's current read?

    I'd love to know what is everyone reading I am currently reading Vicious by VE Schwab. I've had this on my TBR for so long, but never found the motivation to pick it up until now. I am enjoying the story as well as the main character. I am also reading Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo, or more like trying to since it has taken me two years to get to page 90 XD i have soft DNFed it thrice now at this point but because i spent a good amount of money on it, I do want to read it.

    In fairness, now that I’m a bit further in, this DOES feel thematically YA. Definitely the character age and the current direction of his story arc are firmly YA.

    Manacled prep

    Rereading the entire series in preparation for Manacled (& potentially the entire dramione rabbit hole) - definitely not a necessary step but I’m sooo looking forward to experiencing this world again, it’s been so long I’m hoping it’ll feel like the first time 🄹
