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 🤯

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

It’s binge worthy for sure! Veronica Roth is back!

Unhinged satirical comedic action is what I needed

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…

First 3 chapters are setting this up to be a top read for me..! Eeeek

Im nervous how he is going to possibly land this with only 20% and nothing resolved

…I’m going in!

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

I have to see what the hype is about!

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 have to say I am eating this one up! Synopsis didn’t do it justice imo

I’m already hooked! The best combination of gossip girl, queer rep, high school pettiness, and belonging.. and a mystery ♠️😏

Somehow I have sped through almost the whole book.. and I have no idea how she will land this plane, I am oddly disturbed, I cannot look away.

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.

I am retrying this one again after soft dnf months ago… the audio was not working for me bc if it a bunch of emails and letters but now my book club is reading it so giving another go.

How did I not know this was going to be a story about LOVE.

I’m so scared for the ending

These characters all need to get professional help 😬

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

Flew through first 30% and can’t wait to see what happens… totally reminding me of the night ends with fire or scarlet alchemist

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.
