Okay I’m only 30% in but… it’s just not hitting for me? It’s also giving me some Atlas Six vibes where it’s almost too smart and I feel like it takes away from the story. Does it get better because I’m in danger of DNFing?

I personally don’t think i’ve ever even really attempted to read more than one book at a time, other than if i was reading one for school and a different one for pleasure. I find i’m the type of person who likes to set my full focus on one book and finish it before i start the next, which helps motivate me a lot when there are books that i find are progressing a bit slower. Kind of like when people give themselves a reward for studying a certain amount of time haha.

On that same note, I also don’t think i’ve ever DNF’ed a book before. I’ve seen some people say that life is too short and that there are too many books to read to get stuck on 1, but so far I just haven’t been able to give up, because I like the idea of finishing a task way too much. Especially if I really don’t like the book, i’ll just tend to read through it quicker and shit on it after lol

What have been your experiences?

Guys… I’m seriously having such a hard time getting through this book, but I want to read this series so bad. Does it get better? When?? Ughhh😩😩

She would not mind so much, María's mother, if the hair were honey coloured, or earthy, even auburn, but such an angry shade of red, she says, is a bad omen

Not even a whole page in and I'm being attacked! It seems ginger slander is embraced throughout the centuries. 🥲
