Status Updates From The Holly King (The Witches...

Almost at the end…….. it’s 1am on the 26th. Does it still count as Christmas night or is it Boxing Day morning now…?

Sometimes this book reads quite young - perhaps because of the writing style - but then there are moments like that last chapter where the descriptions are so visually gory! Don’t get me wrong, I love that. Makes it so much more immersive and interesting. I liked it about The Steel Remains by Richard Morgan but honestly that was a little less gory in its descriptions. I think. It was far, far more grimdark though.

HA holy shit that escalated!

I’m realising… is this book actually “tell tell tell” or am I just not used to reading a book that ISN’T written in first person???

I dunno, the writing for the very start of this doesn’t feel too great. A little too tell-y. Young. It seems to pick up when we get to the mail boy though?? I’ll keep reading. It probably is just a blip at the start before we get into the juice… I’m on 10 pages in after all!!!

This one has a lot more action in it, which I'm finding intriguing and I've just met The Holly King and a fairy called pearl.
