I'm not fully sure if I should continue this book. I bought the entire trilogy at once, cuz I really thought I'd love it and it was cheaper that way. And the reason I first started this and not Six of Crows, is because it's apparently easier to follow with worldbuilding in this trilogy. But I don't know if I'm fully enjoying it. There is something that I don't like and I don't know what it is. So basically is it worth it to continue?

everyone has misses, so what’s a book you hated from an author you love?

mine is zero days by ruth ware. she’s one of my favorite authors and that book is, to this day, one of the worst books i’ve ever read to the point i pretend it doesn’t exist when i think about her backlist.

Rereading this because I'm back in therapy; and I recall how much this book brought out self-awareness in my emotions and behavior.

ok i’m not going to mark this as a spoiler bc i’m literally on the first page, but what does it mean when it says vivienne has a split pupiled gaze? like one eye looking one way and the other another way? or the pupil is like split in half or what? it’s probably not even important, but now i’m curious 🤷‍♀️

OK, I actually love the dynamic between Lila and Kell. But, unfortunately, I'm still having a hard time really getting into the story. 🥺 Maybe I just don't like the pacing? I'm not sure what it is. I usually don't know how much I like a book until the very end, so I don't want to say too much about it until after I finish it, which I plan to do tomorrow. We'll see how I feel then. 🤞🏻

Starting my year with this😁

A recent heart break plus seasonal depression made me come back to my reading habit. Maybe I'm using it as a coping mechanism but I genuinely feel better.

I stopped reading for almost a year, mainly because of work and life itself. But I want to use this comeback as a lesson that I can always make time to read a couple of pages.

Has anyone been through something similar?
