Feels like there should be more to and fro on goodreads. As it is now, people seem to use it just to catalogue their personal libraries. Purely achievement driven. I've tried and failed to get in touch with people through groups here though. It's so strange, just putting yourself out there, trying to get to know others. So many books, so many tastes, so many niches.

Third character point of view coming into the story felt so natural. And she's got her own active plot! Looking forward to seeing how the situation is going to progress from here on. Her husband is stuck on an island with a rugged man who speaks a different language, they're forming a strong bond. He has one week left before he gets picked up by a boat. And his wife is on her way to find him. Will she be on the boat?

It's so beautiful to be reading this. I want to learn to write sentences as wonderful as they are in this book. Everything feels carefully crafted.

I do love how Andy Weir writes. The mc is great. Sassy and distinct but not overbearing. I like her. After getting through Hail Mary and The Martian, I expected the worldbuilding to be also similarly boxed up. But it's vast in this piece and takes a bit to chew to follow along.

I like the funky dynamic between the mc and her uncle. But mc with Simon is a bit of a bore though. This is absolutely not my kind of book. Too chick flicky.

Really hope this picks up soon because after page 70 it has become a massive slog to read through. Truly wanted to enjoy this book but it just does not grip me thus far. I like how brutal and raw the language is. It does a good job at making the reader uncomfortable, as it should!

Hmm. It's alright. Polish mythological creatures living among humans in US. It'd be more exciting if I knew anything of said creatures. Some homework to do on that!

It feels rather taboo to pick up a book titled like this in current day and age, even though the title on goodreads is incorrect. The information provided in this work is invaluable. It describes the timeline of how psychiatric treatment evolved in the world, primarily in Australia & USA. It's interesting to compare with local history of my own country. Didn't know we were ahead of times in mental health sphere.

Didn't know I missed the kind of adventure this book holds before I started reading it. The characters are so likeable (even the bumhole Bishop), and the detail of ships and sailing is perfectly understandable even to someone who knows nothing of it. Fine wordcraft.

I wish this ended when the old man died and the kid took the dog in. A very charming story until halfway in. Then it just becomes an incoherent mess. Some secrets are better left unknown.

The things I read for the sake of the challenge. This is a fun and well written positive book but I can't stand it. I'm simply not the target audience.

The characters are still great but the plot has slowed down a bit, becoming a bit of a drag. Can't wait for the climax to hit. I need all of these characters to meet face to face at last. I like the humanisation of the "villain". The point of view of the Huntress is valuable. Of course I'm not sure how honest her story really is.

Didn't expect to get pulled into this book. All the perspectives of the various characters are very engaging. Nina is badass.

Didn't expect this to be an easy to digest read. Very fun so far! The mc is an ass but I like him for it.
