At time humorous, then turning to serious topics, there is a depth of storytelling here and this book has my full attention. Representation: Vietnamese immigrants, first generation and second, mental health, PTSD, racism

Yuppp another space exploration book for me! 🌌✨✨⛵️
I’m not completely sure how all the diff POVs are going to come together from 1983 (early console era) to hundreds of years in the future but boy am I curious! 🧐

I thought I was guessing all the twists pretty well until chapter 43 hit me upside the head 🤯

brewdy_reader is 66% done with The Burning Side
A somber character study. It feels very real and very depressing as it is covering Alzeimers disease and collapse of marriage. Appreciating the look into systemic racism, privilege of some and not others. Good writing but not a “fun time”.

So far it’s easy reading, feels very familiar in the tropes… demon hunter living in plain sight with non-magical family, gets invite to a school for hunters, falls for the instructor who is actually a demon turned “good guy”… trying to figure out who killed her father and why he never told her anything about this school he attended. A little vanilla

Took a bit to get into the world building but at 20% in I can say this is definitely going to be a comfort read for me. Scifi fantasy with romance subplot 🌌 earth is ravaged and there are some bioluminescent plants 🌱 of alien origin… a prophecy and a chosen one. Can’t wait to see where this goes…

It’s a little slow moving, and a lot of trauma so far.

Adventurous and fun, what it must have been like to be a woman in a man’s world, in the days when we didn’t even pretend that women had equal rights and fair pay. Wondering how and when Anne and Mary’s paths will intersect…

I understand why people like this author. This is very much a meet cute between rich doctor (FMC) and small town blue collar nice guy (MMC).

Still enjoying this at 33%. It’s kind of mindless which is what I need right now. But it’s comforting too. I hope that it stays strong through the midway point.

I’m loving this so far, it is what I expect from a dark academia fantasy, I hope it continues to be easy listening

HALP… I love Adrienne Young but I am soooo bored. Should I keep going?? I’m not caring about these characters. There is much politicking but little to no action and little romance either. Just a lot of political machinations.

I hope I am going to love this.. so far the first twist was so fun, the next big twist I saw coming from a mile away… I think a lot will depend on second half, but I do always enjoy Rachel Harrison’s writing.

I am enjoying all 3 timelines, but in particular Ozzie’s timeline… to have been there when the US military was desegregated. What a time it was and sad to see us going backwards.

So far it’s very whimsical, nonlinear plot.. a little hard to follow sometimes but lots of flowery prose

It’s not living up to the original series. It started off really strong and now at just past the mid point, I feel like almost nothing is happening… other than lots of genealogy

I’m going to be honest, the plot is moving pretty slowly and I’m frustrated that the main character evander started with no memory of the traumatic event (why he’s where he is) and that half way through he has not recovered any of his memory and no one has told him anything either. This might be a purely vibes and atmosphere book.
