No denying it anymore - is it resonance overdose!! Very alluring… But would feel hollow.

It kind of does now! Not very invested honestly, especially as I distanced myself from this series (not intentionally, of course). But I actually do think it’s not that much worth it anymore D: It’s just more and more things that appear (or, FEEL) almost unrelated. Superficial.

Hope it gets better though :))

Well at least he really highlighted impulsiveness!

Not the most impressed 😅
The audiobook helps a lot but of course it's melodramatic
Somehow I'm speed reading but also wishing to sleep

Now I do think that Romeo and Juliet is not Shakespeare's best play, but renowned and "well written" in its own way for its deep impression due to dramatic exposition that sheds perspective on love, hatred, youth, and impulsive decisions.

I like this balancing out the dark by bringing light or protecting the people from the dark kind of idea :)) Though (ironically) it feels a bit hollow thus far. But I’m happy to get back into magical worlds 😆

Despite all else this isn't much fun! Sorry Shakespeare. I still respect you for your prose... Just not my cup of tea

Honestly, because of it's verbose prose, it does get rather tiring to read and digest fully, unless one has lots of time to do so meticulously. However that is half the fun, and the ladder the (melo)dramatic storyline - yet of which does not appeal to me. When it was renown back then, it was entertainment. But as time has advanced and also with my personal, niche taste, it doesn't draw quite as much of an appeal.

What great fun!

SPEECHLESS!

And so, so rich in depth and symbolism! - things that I couldn’t have noticed (or understood quite deeply, for that matter - as a result of mere awareness but lacking in reasons) a year ago. AHH I am head over heels for everything :))

The book of my soul!!!!!!!!

Silly old bear!

"He jests at scars that never felt a wound."

Humorous but also incisive :)

I have come to realize that children are the mot spectacular once more and that wonder is truly something we cannot lose. It’s apart of the magic within our souls. children are philosophers and philosophers are children. Like coins. Yesterday night I was just thinking about who I am. I’m still not really sure. But I know that I sure enjoy thinking about it :)

Oh haha!! How I love this book.

But truly, WOW. Indeed we are just nestling in the white rabbit’s fur. And how dreadfully dull instead, Sophie. I think that is exactly what I needed at this moment…

(Part 2 in other status-)

"But passion lends them power, time means, to meet,
Tempering extremities with extreme sweet."

Catchy lines
Melodrama
Which leaves a bold impression in our minds
Maybe it's simple as that :)

Engrossing and provoking!

So so excited!!

Good, fine, lovely book... But lacking in resonance for me; character and world. I do enjoy the morse codes, puzzles, friendship... But it also feels a bit painfully slow! And falls flat. It doesn't pull on my heart strings the way some other books do- It's definitely much more simplistic and less fantastical. And nothing of the sequence and well generally really did impress or amaze me 🤔

The above marks my expression

A remark alas comes to mind;
"Ew."

Basically what I'm seeing is a shallow plot veiled by (very) dramatic declamations XD

"Tut, I have lost myself. I am not here.
This is not Romeo. He’s some other where. "

This is just kinda cool and funny at the same time-

"Alas, that love, so gentle in his view,
Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof!"

Pleasurable prose yet rather surface level, stuffy, and bland thus far... The language really stands out, and is really interesting, though :D

The most heroic ever! Dreamers unitee :)) Best scene of this book (thus far)
YAY!

1. This percentage was off for some reason. But
2. This book was getting kind of... Boring! During one point- Until Jack did something heroic indeed. I relate to Jack so much! Definitely stealing him for future future novel ;))))

195 / 313 pages

That was… Deeply disturbing to say the least (referring to the mermaid tale). What terrifying stories! Something of its magic seems to falter a bit in this book, compared to a Tale Dark and Grimm. But still, the fairytales are immaculate and it’s just my cup of tea :)

Unfortunately, I shall have to pause right here :) Perhaps someday I can return to this! It was a bit disappointing, but not in the sense that it wasn’t well written. I just believe it’s not my cup of tea at the moment- Let’s venture to other adventures alike!

Seems to me like Levine’s books are rich in splendor. However this time, it quite fades with time as it seems particularly outdated — not in the topic but with the staggering execution; interesting but ultimately lacking in the depth I crave for, instead maintains a bland and vapid.

I love her kindness, yet Aza’s personality is seemingly bland. Not to mention the rather slow pace the book is going at. A common thing in vintage toned books, and a common “failing” if it is to be regarded as one-before the flutters of anticipation and the scurry of careful layout. Yet ultimately dimming the spotlight, of which we can truly immerse ourselves and enjoy the book to a full extent. Still nice :))
