I do like the way that Wendell cares for Emily. It is very sweet because he actually sees her. Also I kind of hope that Emily finds a way to live inbetween the worlds or both worlds

I do love long train rides

So far I am massively enjoying the depiction of the fae, they are delightful. Also if Bambley is a fae, I do hope he also is mischivious and has fae rules/morals. I am enjoying myself. I wish it would be more academic actually but I do really enjoy it!

Listen, I don't always understand what's going on but I am utterly transfixed and I love the way this is written

Did I expect the book being a lil horny? No. But I have read some reviews and was prepared and honestly it's really not as bad as people were saying and also it somehow really fits the vibe and I do enjoy the vibe a lot. I am actually very interested in how this is going

So far its actually really interesting. Belle is my favourite character so far which surprises absolutly no one

This is genuinely so fascinating. I just struggle so much with the writing style. But I do actually very much like learning about historical figures as I found out. Its fascinating

I actually really like the stories so far. The first two (Red Riding Hood and Snow White) more than the other two (Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel). I am really enjoying this tho. It's a nice and fast read and I am really enjoying that.

Die sind alle sehr ,,,, eingebildet, nur weil sie Klassiker oder Sachbücher Lesen und nicht Romane. But then again da sind auch sehr interessante Essays drin (Ich bin pretty schnell, weil ich manche Sachen ein wenig überfliege ngl)

There are beautiful lines in there but the pacing is way too fast and sounds like a list of what happenend which is actually sad bc I would love to really connect with Enheduanna because it really is super interesting. It is just way too fast and we just gloss over things.

Okay starting Enheduanna's story now and so far I don't vibe with the writing style. It's more tell than show and we are rushing through plot points and info dumps. I am really hoping it does slow down bc I am interested in the topic actually.

Time to dabble in a new genre; historical fiction. Let's see how this goes

"So please, Alex, do not fear the dawn. Embrace it. Your father dreamt of a sunrise, and that sunrise was you."

She did not feel like a sunrise, or a dream, or a promise. She did not feel like much of anything.

I actually really appreciate this book. The gods are greatly characterized and despite dealing with what is known as a love story, it is not so much written as one and does not shy away or romantizice part of the stories that are horrific and I appreciate that greatly

This is very sweet. There is a LOT happening in a very short time and a lot of infos but I ball. It is obviously a childrens books so things get repeated which helps me actually lmao

But also I actually like Alex a lot and Ophelios and Rannok are so COOL??? Also I like the other children. They are actually very sweet. Though I feel like everyone is a little bit dismissive about Alex being rightfully scared.

This is what I was missing from the other books. There is so much more insight into who Penelope is and what she thinks and feels and wants and everyone is allowed to be morally grey and not entirely bad or entirely right and that is what I wanted. This is so much better than the other two books.
