  • basic data of the books

    first I'd like to say that I really like pagebound. I've never used any book tracking websites (I think excel is so sick of me atp) because I was overwhelmed for some reason and I don't have that here. idk if it is because I'm a librarian but I think it would be very useful to be able to see some basic data on the books, like the publishing year and stuff like that!

    I actually really like this book. I haven't seen the tv show but from what I gathered people like the show more? idk. kass morgan's writing style isn't for everyone, it's a lot of back and forth between the past and present but I liked that. it's just the right bit of confusion. I'm reading all 4 books in one big book I borrowed from the library so I can't really sperate the events of the books in my head. because of all the flashbacks the timespan of the book definitelly felt longer than it actually is.

    I had so so much fun while reading this book. I just love the concept of being stuck in a timeloop. davi is so chaotic, between wanting to put hats on smaller (but dangerous) animal characters and being very attracted to an orc lady, she does not give a fuck because she's gonna come back again anyways. she also references pop culture because she's from the real world?? and everyone is just so confused by everything she does. I also love that it's kind of written like a diary? with footnotes and everything if she wants to elaborate on something more.

    the way yadriel's family treated him really hit home. on one hand they accepted him, but on the other they didn't allow him to do the same thing as the other boys because he wasn't born as one. maaaan I love this book
