    Problem with a review I saw

    I saw a review on fable (not here) that gave this book a 2.5-3 star review because they felt the characters and story was boring and unlikable but their only reasoning behind it was, and I quote, they “might read just way too much smut so I am desensitized to other story telling”…. Hello??? In what world would you need smut or explicit sex in order for a story to be good or well written?? Baldwin tells the story of emotional baggage and self discovery/suppression in incredible prose and you rated low not for actual substantial reasons but bc there wasn’t enough smut??

  • Excited to get into the universes!

    I recently started Elantris as my first Brandon Sanderson book and I’m already loving it. I’m pausing currently so I can buddy read starting next week, but I’m already ~20% in and I’m so in love.

    WOW this was a phenomenal psychological thriller. Little clues are sprinkled throughout but you will never see the ending coming. I immediately went back and reread parts to get a full sense of what happened, but this is definitely a book that can (actually NEEDS to) be read multiple times.

    The tension is insane 😱 I’m so sucked in, there’s so many tiny creepy details yet nothing out of the ordinary has taken place. If it wasn’t for these interludes of gossip about some crime, I’d be wondering if the eeriness was all in her head.
