    BREAKING MY SILENCE

    Thoughts at Chapter 9.

    I am having a terrible time trying to enjoy this book.

    How can there be such a lack of descriptions but also an overwhelming amount of information?? I’m finding the world building so confusing because of this.

    So there’s a way to get in-between the Fae world and the human world and the characters can do it so easily but it’s not explained how or why?? This seems like something that should be a lot more difficult to do. “We ride over the cliffs and then the sea,” the SEA? Wouldn’t this take a longer time to do??

    ALSO. WHY does the author just stop the story to drop 3 little bits of information and then just resume the story instead of having this information organically flow with the story. That took me out of the book so much.

    I can’t even understand what age the main character is supposed to be. I was under the impression this is an enemies to lovers book but the main character seems to be really young?? How she’s described and acts make her seem like she’s in junior high or younger. Unless there’s a time skip, I’m not sure how to romance will be?

    idk!!! maybe i’m being too harsh but i am having a hard time getting into this book rn.

    This is the dumbest book I’m SORRY. I cannot stand it any longer. It feels so stretched out, this really should have been more of a short story than a book. The suspense is lacking and the main character makes all the dumbest decisions.

    Probably going to DNF or just take a long to get through. This books feels very silly and I’m not very enticed by the story.

    This is really funny to listen to as someone who has a partner that works in film.

    Huh… Not sure how I’m feeling so far. I feel like the writing is quite cut and dry and makes it feel almost a bit too YA for my taste. I’ve heard a lot of hype for this book however so I am willing to give it chance.

    No chicken nuggies 💔

    not sure how i feel about the reveal of the king, nor do i believe that the king of assassins would lie next to someone freely with no fear of them plotting against him, but a great read nonetheless
