These two have such childish arguments lmao. Also Sadie can be so combative!

I don't know what happened but I just don't care about the characters. None of them. Not the main character, nor the cousin, nor the disgusting males nor the horror elements. The atmosphere is very Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe; yes it's creepy and it's mysterious but I just don't find myself caring enough about what happens to the characters. Maybe I'm just not in the mood for it right now, maybe it's the writing style, maybe it feels too similar to other stuff I've read... It's just...boring? It's probably an unpopular opinion but it's exactly how I feel about it right now. I'd love to hear your takes on the book, maybe they will reignite my interest in it!

I don't know if this is a good or bad thing: I watched the movie(s) first. I will say, I am enjoying drawing comparisons to the movie in my head so far, and - for better or for worse - I'm picturing Paul as Timothée Chalamet. Only another 450 pages or so will tell me whether the book was better 🤷🏽‍♀️

WHY AM I WORKING I WANT TO READ

already LOVING the tone of this book SO excited

The humanoid biology the author has created here with its resultant culture is genius and very interesting. That said, the story itself is not very interesting and she leans so heavily on invented and dry language that when I forget about the book for a few months (because the story is not engaging) and come back to it, the incessant fabricated language can make it a slog. I started this book a year or so ago and am maybe half way through. Just not enjoying the read.

I an obsessed with this book!!

I should not have read other posts in the forum before reading this book. What kind of crazy story is this going to be? 😭😭😭

“‘Have you ever heard of a white man treating his girlfriend or wife badly?’” Only for the ENTIRETY of human history 😶

I absolutely LOVEEE Blood and Ash but the author is too busy milking the series sooo it would be helpful if anyone can recommend me book series that are like Blood and Ash (enemies to lovers + smut + fiction)

How are you guys hearing Caz’s voice in your head? Idk why I can’t stop hearing him in a comically deep man’s voice and I keep trying to switch it to something cuter but that’s just who he is now 😔

I've got a question for you all: Why you show the badges you currently have? (I mean the three on your profile) Like why then and not the others?

haven’t pick this up in a while now, should I just dnf it? 🥴
