Status Updates From The Oath

I think reading in longer chunks helped me enjoy this book more. I'm used to novels that are shorter, philosophical, or just rich (like the classics or "literature"), so reading for just enjoyment gets lost on me.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable 3 hours of reading yesterday, and I'm looking forward to finishing it. My gripes with writing style aside, it really is a thrilling and fast-paced story.

Peretti's scenes are top-tier, there's no doubt about that. His characters, okay, but his writing in this is driving me crazy.

He seems to need to have his character's thoughts comment on what the reader should be feeling. The shocking moments come with a "what? How could that be? This shouldn't be possible because..." And they say what we already know! It takes me right out of it.

Thanks for reading my rant :)

Really trying to get past the "You've read 67 books this year" thats been staring me menacingly in the face every time I've opened goodreads for the past week and a half..😭
