    It took me longer to get through this book but that’s honestly on me since I was trying to finish this book in the middle of a really bad reading slump. As always, the characters are so well-written and you can’t help but love them with their dry humor and bluntness.

    I think the best part of this book was how well-written the characters are. The plot is compelling, especially for someone like me who loves both fantasy and mystery - and this series has both! It was kind of difficult to get through some parts that were (imo) kind of unnecessarily wordy/long/slow, but when the story picks up, it was difficult to put it down for sure!

    How do you guys imagine the transvects? As far as I can glean, they are big wooden trains that float in the sky?

    the magic system in this is *CHEFS KISS*! Big women-in-stem vibes ✨ why do I feel like I can’t trust most of the characters that are being introduced to me in these past 3-4 chapters 🫠

  • Can you remember everything you read?

    I personally can’t, despite my best efforts haha 😅. I used to worry about and honestly still do sometimes, the lack of my book memory. Thinking that maybe I should slow down, read less. I really don’t want to though because I prefer reading over watching tv shows or movies. If you’re like me, I came across this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson today and I hope you can take solace in it like I have.. “I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.”
