    This is so grabbing, I read it the whole day up till now. I have(had) stuff to do. I can't stop. I'm not even that keen on mistery (if it doesn't have a supernatural twist).

    Enjoyment: 3.5Quality: 4.0Characters: 4.5Plot: 4.0

    This was a really cool concept and I found the execution to be fantastic. The prose was so fun to read. I never read another Brandon Sanderson book, but, if I got it right, I guess Hoid is a character he wrote or will write more about, and I can't wait to get more about his life.

    The characters in this were great, they were all so distinct and had so much unique stuff to them. They really make you feel part of the crew.

    I wish the last few scenes had been a bit more cinematic and there had been more fight. It seemed like the resolution was a little too easy and could've been sprawled in a few more pages, with a more action and detail.

    Unfortunately, I had a really hard time imagining things. I attribute that to two things mostly: I'm really tired due to school and can't focus well, it all takes place on a ship and I don't have a good enough understanding of those to actually picture one well enough.

    I stil enjoyed it and can't wait to know more about this universe.

  • Help me find appropriate reads for my teen brother 🙏

    I recently discovered my youngest sibling is really getting into reading, his most recent series being A Good Girls Guide to Murder. He's annotating and everything and I'm THRILLED by this discovery, so I'm hoping to get some input on generally age-appropriate introductions to various genres.

    So far he seems to enjoy thriller/mystery and is currently re-reading Fahrenheit 451 outside of school. I'm already planning to get him The Hunger Games, The Giver, and potentially another shorter dystopia series that I enjoyed at his age(Forest of Hands and Teeth or The Storm). He says he needs things to actually be happening so cozy is out for now, but I'm coming to a blank on fantasy, sci-fi, and maybe horror leaning intro books that might fit his tastes. I'd also like to be mindful of the fact that I heavily favor female protagonists but I'd like to have a few male protagonists in the mix for him as well.

    As far as "age appropriate" goes he's just turning 13 but is already a big fan of horror films and the household is very lenient on most themes. Really I'm just trying not to accidentally give my brother smut with the sort of merging of New Adult and YA that seems to have happened in recent years.

  • Book Character Search History 😅

    Happy Thursday, Boundlings!

    As the week winds down, let’s play a silly little game 👾

    1. Drop a book character in the comments ⬇️ and let other people respond by telling you what was in that character’s most recent search history 👀

    The more unhinged and silly the better!
