Astilbe The Hobbit > Recent Status Updates

This series has been like a drug for me. Once I start, I just don’t want to stop. Then before I know it I’ve somehow read 100 pages. 😂

I know I’ve only made it through Chapter 1 but unpopular opinion incoming. I already really don’t like it. I don’t like the writing style. I even switched to the audiobook. I’ll keep pushing on yet but…. Yeah

The amount of times I’ve read the word cannibal 🫠

I think I know where 👀

This poor girl 🫠 Her father is scary, even for me, sheesh

I can’t decide how I feel about this so far

I just read the most wholesome, cute, romantic scene! I’m SOOO obsessed with them!

I’m already head over heels for this story 😭🩶

At first I started off feeling okay about this book but the more I read the more I fall in love with the writing and the way the story is being told to us, the reader. I’m curious if it’ll keep feeling that way as I read.

I’m always such a happy camper reading John Gwynne

“But I am a cat, and no cat anywhere ever gave anyone a straight answer” 🐈‍⬛

“That is my prayer, but what use is prayer to a god that has abandoned all things…” 👀

^^ I seem to be drawn to certain types of stories hmmm. Well John Gwynne. I am seated, I am VERY READY.

T Kingfisher’s humor and Goblins is already making the exact experience I was hoping for. I’m loving this so damn much. Haha.

Omgggg 😩 This part where is started off so intimate and turned into such a silly whole interaction has my heart so much. PLEASE I just want them happy together!

Ooooooo! The tension and yearning in this chapter was something else! 😮‍💨 (Ugh so I also really love our female main character right now)

Wow am I hooked on this one! The writing is stunning so far and the fact I want to keep reading when I’m not really in the mood for horror (maybe even a bit burned out on it), I am so impressed.

OMFG 😨 I’m not saying it they had it coming to them but gosh was that a NASTY description

I am SOOOO ready to release all the rage you gave me Monika Kim

Now it’s getting sad on me 😭

I adore how silly some of the situations our characters get in. I mean they’re serious situations that feel silly because our characters are just a whirlwind and all over the place in the best ways. I love them so much.

I love Flint sm. The grumbling old dwarf 🥹

Why did I take so long to start this! This already has a band of characters I absolutely love and it’s got that classic Fantasy feel that I love so much. The dwarf Flint already has my heart of course but also I ADORE Tas. He also just speaks to my heart. 😂

My heart is breaking 😭

Now it’s making me so emotional 😭

I adore this book so much already 😩

I’m getting to the end and I’m so saddddddd

I am afraid I’m becoming addicted 👀 I wish to never put this down once I pick it up. Why must life need me to go function as a human adult.
