The beginning is so heavy I almost threw my book across the room multiple times

Enemies to lovers this enemies to lovers that

Jamie, he thought, my name is Jamie
Excuse meeeeeeee

When you pick up a book not expecting much and it turns out amazing, perhaps one of the best feelings

This is the type of narration I just can’t help but eat up (HA)

Man I have so many thoughts, but ultimately it’s that kind of book where at first beautiful wording makes you forget how deeply wrong its elements are - and when your commons sense returns it’s like EWEWWWWWWW
Also it’s just so insufferable now I’m struggling to finish it
As always - HM writing is for creeps who should never met women irl

Unfortunately it’s a masterpiece

Oh no. It’s my own personal thing, but can’t listen to audiobook narrated by older gentlemen

It’s a shame Murakami cannot be normal about women because his writing really is exceptional

It’s not the type of book that would steal my soul, but it’s an educational read nevertheless

I have a problem with stories where the plot might be interesting, but none of the characters are likeable. I find them all, especially the main protagonist, a bit passive and boring for now? It feels as if the story happens around them and they don’t participate

I especially don’t see how Rainy was chosen as the main protagonist. He’s just… eh?

Skeptical because it’s one of those undisclosed YA recommendations I sometimes get… Nothing against YA, it’s just not for me anymore. We will see tho?

I appreciate it, but something doesn’t work here for me

The vibes are immaculate, but it’s just… maybe tad too slow. I’m giving V. E. Schwab a second chance after I DNFed Vicious, and while I find this story better (the writing is nice and the hunger! the hunger!) I just wish it was… just more

Bye Felicia?

Oh what happened to this series

Oh come on. How can I not love this book already, as a queer Pole who experienced her first love in Wroclaw? Who grew up in those rigid catholic expectation of Poland?

God I just love when a book is narrated by a person who has that spark in their voice, the spark you can only obtain when you are so deeply fond of something. Somebody.

I’m sorry, I hate everything about how Virginia is handled

I hate hate hate that Darrow continues to call Virginia Mustang!!!

Maybe unpopular, but I hate Howler arc. As always, I hade crude narrations and Sevro is too much for me…

My beautiful Victra

Here’s the problem I have with the beginning of this part - because Darrow has been captured, and the action moved on, he has to be debriefed. No other way to do it when the book is in the first POV. This constituted a sluggish beginning in comparison to the first two books, and I’ve gotten used to this series’ fast pace.

My love!

A human condition book I will adore most of all of them, because it’s about my condition, my sickness, my my my

“What the hell?”
“She’s a cook!” I explain.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Holy shit Murakami really has not met a woman like ever lol
Anyway very good read

At the beginning still, but I really hate how straightforward it is so far, there are countless explanations without any subtlety eh…

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but Hua Cheng is so obsessive it’s creepy and the romance in this book is just not for therapy goers

I just find the flashbacks in the middle of the story too long and unnecessary tbh the flow of the story is greatly interrupted by such a long portion that refers to things that a reader could have already picked up beforehand

The pacing is phenomenal
