PII!

Full review to come closer to release date.

I loved it, that's all I'll say for now.

Reading this book after watching the film and expecting them to be the same/close? Yeah, no. Not at all the case. I would call it more inspiration and not an adaptation, because there is so so much that doesn't happen in the book that happens in the film and vice-versa. Love both, though.

Bella Baxter is so much more of a strong woman than I recall her being in the film. Though, to be fair, the book is incredibly different from the film, so I guess her character was not the only one to suffer changes.

The writing is so incredible, it's fiction yet it isn't presented like it. Even the division of parts is so well-structured to give us multiple retellings of the same events yet not making it overdone. I will say that is it a bit exhausting to read, especially when you're trying to get a hang of things at first.

I'm amazed. I have to rewatch the film as soon as possible. This was a great classic to start wrapping up 2025.

Signing off, B.

I'll be honest, it didn't drive me crazy and absolutely floored like Divine Rivals did, but I still liked it. I missed Iris and Roman, but I think I expected more heartbreak, even though we get quite a bit with this book. Is that weird? Maybe, who knows?

Fuck the Gods and long live writing, I guess?

Signing off, B.

I kinda want Kaneki's mask, it's so cool.

I love dragons.

I usually don't like to compare books, but this felt so much faster than The Lightning Thief and not particularly in a good way. It felt like not much happened, even though quite a few things happened. It's a very weird feeling.

I still liked it, though. It was fun.
