I've gotten more into the habit of reading the notes at the back, which I actually do enjoy! At Part Two, Chapter 5 at the moment.

The start was rough to get into, and I’m not a big fan of the long names and cadence of the writing but I feel it is a part and parcel of its time. But it is easy to get in and out of, and more forgiving in its story to string me back along, though it feels like the author is well versed in yappalogy which also, may be a product of its time.

Started on the plane back, not bad

I take back whatever I said before (but only half of the sentiments) because the story got a lot spicer at the end.. I guess it's setting up its pacing for the series?
Still some aspects about the FL that I don't prefer, but will get through the book first!

I don't like the aspect of FLs always being the "broken one" and sacrificing themselves for the ML

I feel like certain specific details are not necessary? The more graphic ones? It's like neither here nor there but I guess it's marginally relevant... Will try to complete this book soon after delaying for a long while

I went through 3 sections I liked. Hurhur.
Other than that, it got a bit too long to get to a good section, I think the start of the book was too dragged out 🤔

I'm not a fan of authors that replace common phrases and words for their world-building. I'm not at the stage where I completely hate it though, so I think I'll be able to get through this book and hopefully the next one in the series after this.

Example:
"God, why did I do that?" would be "Creators, why did I do that?" in the book...

I’m done. Glad to have read the book. Would like to think more and pen down more things after. Gr8 book and would recommend if one is able to get through it.
But also, I read with a craving and hunger I feel it made more intense. So I read with the fuel that it gave more of, which made it more fun and intense to read. Love it.

Page 102 out of 158. There’s more at the end but it isn’t Fahrenheit 451. Contexts and additional information about the book, as well as opinions.
I like this book so far!!! I love that it gives me space and time to think and recall things that I’ve thought about before too.
Here are the keywords for the reading thus far: Hedomism; Plato’s Cave.

Side tangent:
B — Panopticon; G & F — Selves.

Don’t have much to write yet but keywords that filtered through.
Maxim; Dialectical Theory; Philosophical Hedonism; Social Psychology (Race to be the common individual); Profit & Consumerism.

It was quite a nice book to read. Easy to get in and out of, which is a blessing while doing school.

Longest time I’ve spent reading in a while… even though I also do know that I should be reading my pre-readings for my modules.
Anyway, author loves the twists. So many twists. Not sure if it’s needed but they exist.
