Ohhh boy am I fighting for my life to not DNF or skim. Will update but wooooffff

Starting off my Arc read today! Maybe I'll get through it before work tonight 🤞

Someone send help. I really don't want to DNF at 75 percent. Not even just for my reading goal but I just put time into this one.

Can't write my review for the Arc until 2027 on the release date but to say I'm excited for this read is an understatement. I am a sucker for Shakespeare.

I am struggling with this one, I had such HIGH hopes from all the people I follow, and so far it's falling so flat. I guess I didn't expect it to feel so YA? Maybe I just misread the description, and nothing really is happening a third of the way in. Anyone read this and really like it?

Alright, I am struggling. I liked the first two enough, but this has not been my favorite

It's almost 1 am and there isn't a sequel yet to read of this book. I am desperately trying to convince myself to sleep and not keep reading. I have so many thoughts and I'm sure I will be highly critical of some parts of this book, but it's like a tv show you can't look away from. Give me gladiator but maybe a love triangle HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GO TO BED.

Manson, Manson, Manson. Having that be the intro cult is perfect. My true crime obsession means I didn't learn anything particularly new but so far loving this style and easy flow of story telling

Interesting content, not sure how I feel about the book however.

Let's do something that isn't romantasy shall we!

Well, that escalated quickly.
😬

*Squints in reader* This man loves his wife way too much for a dystopian novel. 🤨 I have bad vibes about my future mental well being with this book.

Lets do it. This book has been pushed on me more than drugs ever have by my friends. So let's start 2026 off right.

Okay, can someone tell me if this gets better? I don't know if I have 500 more pages of interest, I may not even have 10 more pages of interest

*blows raspberry* I am so bored but don't want to dnf over half way through.

Working through my Arc copy, so many thoughts so far, let's see how this plays out!

This book does not need to be 700 pages long. The level of world building and plot do not equal 700 pages. It started so strong but I am STRUGGLING right now.

Yelling at myself to be a grown adult and go to sleep. I don't have to read a 400+ page book in one sitting. I can enjoy it a little at a time right!?! Ugh definitely don't want to put it down though. Nice change of pace!

The commander orders a man to cut off his own hand for touching the FMC. Dear Lord please let this keep up I need a series I love again.

Girl. The bully romance lover in me is so damn conflicted right now. I don't know which way I want this book to go and I'm here for it.

Just need to share a good opening line "A rat crawled through a pile of bones. Footsteps echoed down the stairs, and I hugged my bent knees tighter to my chest."

How long has it been since I've read a half way decent fantasy. Come on Ella SAVE ME FROM THIS HORRIBLE SLUMP.

Alright, that was my 3rd try, and I still can't make myself like this book. Crescent City is officially not for me.

Someone send help. I honestly could not care less. Does this get better?

Eh. I dnfd. I really liked this author in another book but this just dragged for me and I couldn't keep reading.

May have to take a break from it, the concept is intriguing but it has started to drag on a little with lack of actual dialogue and movement.
