I feel like that would pull me out of the story! But to each their own...

I feel the same way… what is happening there?

The way this resonates…

😆

It was almost painful to read. So slow, characters arcs just disappear, everyone is a little awful except the ones who die early… I DNFed back when it first came out and probably should have again. Haha.

I almost quit ACOSF several times but I had friends that kept me going. Glad I did because she definitely comes around. It just took SO LONG. Brutally long.

What did you think?

I hardly ever DNF but this book made me seriously question my policy. It was so slow and meandering. Struggling to understand why so many people love this one…

Not this time but I’m looking forward to seeing pitches!

I love depictions of fantasy and sci-fi worlds. Especially ones that focus on unique details. It doesn’t always have to be a stunning landscape. I love seeing images that highlight little differences that make worlds unique.

They have to be done so well to be effective, in my opinion. I’ve read quite a few where I just feel lost and am waiting for the actual story to start. I rarely DNF, so I’ll push through, but can be work.

That is an excellent mashup. Ferocious and adorable!

Dragons.. absolutely dragons.

Metaphorically. It’s been a rough year.
