I really enjoyed some of the author's books. This one left me a little bit disappointed. The dialog feels forced sometimes or at least very cliché often enough. I'd catch myself wincing at some lines. The plot is also on the weaker side. That being said, I didn't dnf it, so it's not all bad. Just weaker than expected.

Am I the only one wanting baked goods and coffee constantly while reading this book? Even when not reading, actually.

Is it just me or did it feel a bit disjointed? I love the story and the characters though, even if they can be a bit infuriating at times.

I am not OK. My logical storytelling brain understands certain things needed to happen. But my heart bleeds. 😭

Have you ever recognized that the tone of your (or other) reviews and comments changes, depending on the book?
My timeline is quite a mixture between fantasy, scifi and classics, so I just realized that the comments on books just sound different, when someone commented on "Pride and Prejudice" vs comments on "Gideon the Ninth". Sometimes I also see it in my own reviews: My tone resembles somehow the writing of the book.
Have you also recognized this? Is someone doing this intentionally? :)

I wanted to like it, honestly, but I felt like I was waiting the whole time. Waiting for the lovely characters to do something, to get somewhere, for anything real to happen. There is no plot beyond experienced girl meets not-at-all-experienced girl and it's a pity because I liked most of the characters even if Dae was a little bit too naïve and resistant at times. The only reason I didn't DNF it was because of the characters and because of Anastasia Watley's narration skills.

I’ve seen some discourse around authors putting their playlists at the beginning of their books— people seem to find them cheesy. I often ignore the playlist if there is one as I like curating my own. What are your thoughts on book playlists? Do you like it when it comes in the book or would you rather make/find your own? Oftentimes my gripe is that the playlists for books that people make are more just vibes and don’t actually align with characters or plot points. Do you playlists that capture the vibes of a book or ones that align with the plot and/or characters? Do you guys listen to these while reading? (for me it depends on the book and my mood).
