Girl... I'm sat for the dragons and the impending š„µ but low-key are we all just ignoring how poorly this is written? I would feel like I'm reading a book written for tweens if not for the violence and barely concealed lust in every goddamn paragraph

I'm already annoyed with the writing.
"He shifts his stocky frame on the BURNT-CARAMEL Italian leather. I wonder what sort of sofa he has at home. It sure doesn't cost 5 figures like this 1 did. It's probably some tacky color like ORANGE, covered in pet fur, and with more than 1 rip in the seams."
Does burnt-caramel not sound like a shade of orange to you? Plus, why is this the time to obsess about the cop's couch?

Maybe it's just me, but I think I tend to hold books on deep and serious themes on a higher regard that simple romance or YA books, to the point that I try hard to like the serious fiction, but drop the unserious one in a heartbeat if I don't like it.
I guess it's because most of these so called serious fiction have already been acclaimed and praised so I feel like there's something "wrong" with me for nothing liking it? But with other kinds of books, I can jut called them cringe or boring and call it a day.

Loving this already. One thing that's incredibly obvious is the extent of R.F Kuang's research. She doesn't hide behind vague terms or obvious references. She's going as far as telling me the culture of the foodš.
Also understand why people call this a future classic, because it has that "important underlying theme" vibe of colonialism and white supremacy from the first few pages. But also a very interesting book. Not at all boring.

I know this is one post too many, but I'm truly addicted to Pageboundš. One question, though, is that while I receive notifications on the app, I can't enable them to receive them on my device, you know? So I have to constantly go to Page bound to check my notifications, which is a bit too much...
Am I the only one with this problem? Is it my device?
