The is the book club pick for February. Just like any fantasy world, you have to invest in the world building. Take your time in beginning , let the author build the foundation for the storyline. Trust the process. At chapter 10, I can say that I am invested in this story and am loving the characters so far.

I am picking up this book today. I will update as a go. I feel like this series is like a big bite to chew. But I’m finally up for the challenge.

why do I subject myself to starting a new book at 6pm??? Mainly because I enjoy being up till 3am to finish the book I guess

If I have to remediate my next EOR because I spent my nights curled up with this book…..it would be worth it

The dots are connecting and I’m angry

What do you mean…what do you mean??? What…what do you mean??

Definitely slightly confused & immensely thirsty

I’m starting this book today. I’m trying to go into this open-minded and not let the previous reviews influence how I feel about this story. For some reason, that I cannot put my finger on, I am scared to pick this book up?

The way the author is able to have themes of this book that is not like directly in your face, but quietly placed and moved through the plot. I need to be studying for exams, but instead I spend my time in this gothic, Edgar Allen Poe styled story and I have no regret. I feel claustrophobic, surrounded by mist & trees, by enemies & anger, by riddles & magic, hope & despair. The chalice card would make a fool of me.

Indeed I am intrigued

I could finish this in one seating if I didn’t have other obligations or required sleep to function properly.

Can’t stop. I’m devouring it

DNF…..it pains me to say that I forced myself to get as far as I did.
