Now this is a good book that I don’t want to put down

Just hate finishing this at this point. What a disappointment

Dude how is this not almost over. I genuinely don’t understand this book’s 4.5 star rating

Really enjoying that this is told as a first-hand historical account but because of the way it’s written it is a slow read

Man there better be some sort of Sanderlanche because the last two hundred pages have been an absolute snooze fest

God dude, this started WAY too philosophical. I burned out on chapter 3. Hoping we bounce back to normal nonfiction soon.

Some of the best world building I’ve ever read

So many neat facts but the funniest being the tuberculosis look used to be considered hot in Europe

He’s him

I feel like everyone’s leveling up for the endgame

This is probably going to be a boring movie when it comes out

At this point in time I feel like I’m going to have to start Light Bringer right after this book

I don’t really know if I agree with where this is going. There’s another character that could’ve filled this role out and not been as far of a stretch as this is.

Part 3. Damn… we’re really putting the dark in Dark Age, huh?

Pierce Brown is making me empathize and understand a character before turning them into the series antagonist. What a psychopath

We love a 40 page prologue. I’m ready to get hurt by Pierce Brown again.

Processed foods are the byproduct of some pretty gross processes. Humans may have the ability to self regulate food consumption through gut and brain communication. Vitamins that are extracted and added tend to only cause harm. Processed foods cause diseases genetic, and otherwise to happen to the body. Low fat/carb foods are pretty bad for you.

Only on chapter 2 and we’re so cooked. An ultra processed food can be defined simply as a food as anything wrapped in plastic and has at least one ingredient not found in your kitchen. Seed oils, gums, and starches are the devil. Low fat/carb is making us sick and obesity to rise.

This author is doing some great world building but this book feels like it’s strictly setting up the series and nothing else. I don’t have any buy in on side characters and kind of feel like I’m reading a 500 page prologue. Don’t get me wrong, I love the world we’re getting in. But I need a solid plot and I feel we’re getting in too deep to force something to happen now.
