started this a while ago and got about halfway through, but had to return my copy to the library :(

I have so much I want to say but I don’t want to spoil…

the further I progress into this novel, the more I realise how egregious the upcoming movie is…

buddy reading with Anya!

this is definitely the olden-day equivalent of a serialised turkish drama with an episode released every week and here I am, binging the whole entire thing.

now who in the WORLD starts a 1000+ page book while there are only 15 days left of the year and she requires 5 books to reach her goal….(me)

anyways this is going to be a favourite of mine, I am well and truly INVESTED. in the more ~oriental~ part of the book, but wow has it been a ride and a half!

they dont make 20 year olds like edmond dantes anymore...

just remembered I had promised myself I’d review, not just rate, every book I read this year. ha ha ha ha ha!! time to go back and fill in those reviews I guess.

forgot incest was a thing that happened…wdym he married his brothers daughter…

This book is making me seriously reconsider being a journalist 😅

I think John Williams is now one of my favourite authors.

genuinely already one of the best books I’ve read recently

hmm…

David Levering Lewis needs to learn to just put the fries in the bag and move on. I hold the opinion that you can be historically impartial when it comes to covering religious content without being blatantly disrespectful, but clearly David doesn’t think the same way. His overwhelming skepticism and condescending & boisterous tone leads to the inclusion of objectively incorrect information in this book.

lowkey hating this omg…why is every second sentence a reference to something else, I really don’t like the tone of the book so far

this book is not about what I thought it was about, let's just say that !!

Off to a very strong start here, extremely relatable

“WHEN GREGOR SAMSA WOKE ONE MORNING from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed right there in his bed into some sort of monstrous insect.”

Like woah, real king!!

Bit weird to provide an update after only 5 pages but the first page of this book was one of the best first pages I have ever read, I already love the writing style so much

Yeah I’m an emotional wreck already 😭 this is defs a 5 star read

perseverance is easily one of my all time favourite characters i love him so much 😭

genuinely confused about how i managed to read this series without reading the tawny man series in my first read-through…how did anything make sense LMAO

my sister kindly informed me that the plot of the rainwild chronicles is basically just a bunch of teenagers being horny so ig im skipping that one and going to the last series!! as much as i hate to leave things incomplete, i'm not a fan of ya style books...

fitz and the fool's reunion 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭
