Deep breaths. Deep breaths.

Sad to see that this is written so poorly. Everything is told not shown. There's no subtetly at all. The voice of narration is pretty confusing as well. It used "I" at one point. Who is it??

We're losing momentum.

First book in a while where I have no idea how it's going to end. Reveal, cancel and a crashing out?

I was a bit reluctant to pick this up since I detested The Poppy wars and I'm pretty sure this precedes Babel, but so far it's really good. The voice is strong and it's very clear that Athena is actually Kuang.

Finished the epilogue

Finished chapter five. I'm not completely sure I understood what was going on. It was violent, anyway. She survived, but her friend didn't? Or she just doesn't know where she is?

Finished chapter four. That was... Intense.

Tydligen plockade jag upp fel bok från bibblan, det här är inte #2, men det är OK eftersom #2 är bara en retelling av #1 och sådana böcker är alltid skittråkiga.

Finished chapter three. I peeked ahead and there's way more chapters than I expected. Another first person POV, hm

Syke, it was still first person POV.

Finished chapter two. Only realizing now that it was always in first person POV, technically. How poetic. The title of the chapter promises a 5 year time skip. Looks like third person POV. We shall see...

Oh nevermind it's the POV of the dead friend's corpse. So first person 😀

Pleasantly surprised that it's written in second person. Harrow the ninth has trained me for this moment! Midway through The Boy I was convinced the MC was a girl, but it's a boy. I'm fairly certain anyway. Curious to see if the next chapter features a new MC, or if it's the same.

Can I complete this before 2026? Challenge accepted.

The text is telling me they're having a great time, but in the dialogue Sabine acts like such a red flag from the moment that she turns Lottie.
Also I thought Sabine was at least 22???

I've gotten tired of the accents in the Sabine chapters.
