I love how this is slowly becoming “How to Feel Comfortable in Your Own Skin” but with a really cute and funny goblin theme. It encourages you to look at things a lot differently and I like that.

It’s very hard not to take notes while reading. There really isn’t much to read, but the diagrams are really helpful and I like how it explains basics before building upon components.

I love the way it describes different headspaces and how to get yourself into them. I love all of the different stimulation it describes and how to get it from your environment when looking at Nature. I also really like how well it describes reality vs the publicized idea of the subject.

I love how each book is told from the perspective of the dragon it’s about. I totally forgot they did that.

I love how the beginning of the book sets up, everything. The setting, the plot, the characters, the attitudes and personalities and the struggles. The middle of the book resolves conflicts while adding new ones and setting up the end of the book. The end of the book sets up the rest of the series with the plot, characters, and future struggles. I’m not done yet, but I love how well this book is as an introduction

I love how when there is humor, it’s done so well and realistically. The jokes land because they are so fitting for the situation.
I love how clueless but smart Clay is. I totally forgot how hard he is on himself and it’s something I really related to, especially the first time I read this book when I was younger.

I forgot just how brutal this book was the moment things go south. The chilling detail of death gives every instance it happens weight and meaning, no matter what size creature is slain.

I love Peril’s whimsical and clueless personality. I forgot how obscenely psychotic she was. I love how well she’s expressed like an aloof golden retriever who doesn’t know the atrocities she’s committing.

I love the tone of the book so far and it’s loose and aesthetic based explanation of goblincore.

I like how each dragon’s personality is reflected by what and how they think. It’s really cool to see them working off of each other to find a solution to a problem in their own way

I really like the diversity and vastness of references. A lot of good books to look into

Good set up

I really enjoy the explanation and introduction

I really love how much tension and pressure Ms.Pelt is able to convey through each scene and point of view. I love how each point of view is so connected now that the tensions and emotions from one event carry on throughout the chapters as they are resolved by these characters interacting together.

I absolutely love how things are coming together. Making Marcellus a chaotic but strategic hand in piecing things together is so smart and is done even better through the creative writing.

I do like how it keeps teasing new characters that may fit into the missing holes, only to explain why they can’t just as easily as they find a new role in the story that they fulfill even more satisfyingly than if they were a missing part of the plot.

I love how Cameron’s personality makes every accomplishment that he achieves not just feel earned, but also makes the reader just as impressed and proud of him as the characters around him. I also love his relationship with Ethan. I don’t like how depressing Marcellus is becoming.

I absolutely adore the way the author uses Marcellus as a way to possibly foreshadow using his detailed observations that the people of the story just can’t pick up on. Having him find joy from certain funny and rude words is also really endearing. I also really enjoy just how neatly these two chapters worked into one another.

I really like how the book ties the characters to one another. Both with location and plot.

I do like how things are left open as others are slowly brought together.

I do like how connected Tova and Marcellus’s stories are becoming.

The chapters never focus on the same character back to back, but don’t seem to have a really consistent order. It’s interesting at times but also a little confusing.

I am becoming less of a fan of Cameron every chapter he is in. I did like the change up of a full chapter focused on a pre established character though.

The multiple side plots going on at the same time is a little distracting and I wish the octopus’s Point of view segments were longer, but so far so good

The introduction of new characters and scenarios are a little hard to follow, but the octopus being used as a measure of time passing is really creative.

The sentence structure is a little hard to follow sometimes, but I do love the point of view from the octopus. The mystery of the disappearance is an interesting inclusion and takes a while to actually be brought up and expressed.
