genuinely an insane amount of grammar, punctuation, spelling issues. and this is a finished copy! I can tell they rushed to get this out after the success of the first one or whoever did the editing really did not care at all

feeling ill so chose this as a comfort read. it's lovely so far but there have been 4 spelling/punctuation mistakes already, pls get this author a better proofreader 😭

so happy to be back here

this is excellent and I want to do binge BADLY

it's giving Piranesi meets lost and that's a BIG compliment

I'm so confused but it appears that's going to be the vibe for the whole book so let's go

I swear I read more than 2 pages, the page numbers in the proof Vs the finished copy are just very different lol

it's just SO GOOD

GUYS I MET HIM YESTERDAY AND HES SO COOL!!! I ALMOST CRIED I WAS SO EXCITED BUT I WAS BRAVE AND I DIDNT

okay I reckon I can finally finish this tomorrow

it's not great but hey its entertaining enough

not really hitting as hard as the previous one icl :/ hopefully it picks up or I might skim read this one

speeding thru this! I think I'll finish it tonight!

two things I'm really liking is that a) the fmc is 6 door tall and b) the world building is really rich and complex and i wasn't expecting that. plus its introduced really naturally and it's quite fun when you find out a new thing. okay a 3rd thing is that the side characters aren't there and then forgotten about, the way the main character gets reminded of them in small details she observes feels so realistic

all the interesting world lore in existence can't save authors from 'bad guy who actually isn't that bad' trope written poorly.
ITS OUR FIRST SCENE ALONE WITH HIM. COULDN'T THE READER HAVE CAUSE HATE HIM A LITTLE FIRST? one scene of him doing something bad was not enough! don't immediately make him start to show care (even if it is through a ~cold mask~)

also going into this blind because I've had this proof for so long I've forgotten what it's about, and going into the last book I read blind turned out to be fun!

seems like a fairly standard romantasy + mystery. entertaining so far! but that scene where the mmc was smoking was not the serve you thought it was sorry

desperately covering the goodreads rating and blurb because the proof I got has no blurb so I literally don't know anything about it, but it looked cool so I had to pick it up

finally got to steal a few mins to read after not having time all week <3

FINAL BOOK LETS GOOOOO
