i like it so far!!! I think how the only trans character [so far] was described was iffy 😭😭😭 but done in good faith, it feels like. i like the main girl, she's relatable and i love the setting. Liking the multimedia aspect of this.

book IS in first person present tense, which i know is quite a contentious choice for a lot of readers. but i jive with it :)

Started 8/20

I think it is fun and creative and has great dialog and descriptions. I don't like the recurring fatphobia (literally just unnecessary) and some of the characterization of People of Color felt a little uncomfortable and I'm not sure if that's because I'm white or if it's because it's insensitive LOLLL. I jive with most of this book, I guess. It's a fun, quick, easy as hell read.

I like both of the love interests this is so dire

Began 6/6/24, enjoying it a lot so far. Daria is sooo hot and Liz is relatable, but also a bit of a party pooper in several ways. Diverse cast of characters but the two leads are white as hell!

Very clichey and stereotypey and I can't decide whether it's overdone and cringe or if it's the right amount and camp. I'm having a lot of fun reading it though, so it doesn't matter all that much!!!

It's lowkey gotten really really good... aurmmm what the scallop???

Guhhh love fadis and love kirla

Fadis is soooooo carth onasi that it's crazy

Unghhh book 4 is low-key kinda good I've had many many less gripes than with the previous three books. The writing seems to have like, quadrupled in quality,.,.,. I like the story more too,.,.,. Evurn and fadis heart emoji,.,.,. Weird how sudden Braei and Valrin is tho? Kinda dig it?

I really liked Big Ancestor except for how Halden breaking Meredith's nose was just brushed over soooo quickly and didn't change the story at all. 1954 misogyny goes crazy LOL like it's almost like the story was unchanged bc of it and it should've been, Mer never should've chosen that fucken guy, ew!!!! can i say it i HATE men. no i hate patriarchy lol but stillllll what the helllll?????? who thought that was okay???

finished Gone Fishing by James H. Schmitz and godddd it made my stomach hurt. that forced isolation would be the death of me i think, I'd go insane without human contact ugh!!! But what a really really well set up story, I liked it all the way to the ending. I don't think I quite understand the ending, but I like it. Mr. Chard is stronger than me and the association is soooo devious /neg for that one, but it was fun

"Unit" By J. T. McIntosh, the third story of five in this anthology, was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. liked it a lot. much to think about with the units being amoral but working toward the general good. what a good story unghhhhhhh

the second short story in this ("Something Strange" by Kingsley Amis) was soooooo scary. so good

i'm going to mention this in my review too BUT i'm reading "Blood Chosen" as part of the Darkfell Vampire Clan Boxset-- and this is the same book, but a "cleaned up" version or whatever that means? that was published separately. anyways. so just keep that in mind. liking it so far, i love Tessa

NOOOOO I DON'T WANT THIS TO BE OVER I'M SO CLOSED TO BEING FINISHED.... maybe my least favorite so far of the series but it's still good, i think that Fina's sickness is :( Like I'm glad the plot is still plotting but a lot of this book feels unnecessary or even repetitive??????? unfortunately. also lots more editing mistakes than the previous entries

it's really good i just really really really am bad at reading graphic novels....................

this book is sooooooooooooooooooooo good this series is sooooooooo good. on the edge of my seat bc the drama

Felt like a loser reading a 40k book while wearing a yasuo league of legends shirt waiting in the doctor's office but both things were from my brother so I no longer felt like a loser and instead felt loved

oh that babe is back thank goodness . i'm cooked if anyone ever reads these notes

I know I'm reading it kind of slowly but I'm also eating it up WHEN I do read it so !! A lot of my enjoyment does come from the fact that it makes me feel closer to my brother (he likes 40k and recommended this series to me)
