This is rough so far. I’m not a huge fan of stream of consciousness books, though I see what the author is trying to do with it. Just woof.

First step toward gathering sources for my next essay, here I come.

Do you ever reread a book from your childhood, and there are parts in there that you don't even remember reading for the life of you? Me during the whole sorcerer tower part.

Ngl, this is solid so far, though. Very much Hobbit/LOTR vibes, and I'm almost to what I remember as my favorite part. The excitement is still there.

Currently listening during my exercises.

I feel like my brain is broken; I can't tell if the dialogue in this is funky and all over the place or if I'm missing something.

Rereading books I remember loving when I was younger, and this one was first on the list. All I remember is that she takes her sister's place as a sacrifice to a group of vampire-like creatures. I've been craving vamps for a while, so I'm hoping this will scratch the itch.

R.F. Kuang the genius that you are....

I really like this book so far and I'm really attached to both the romance of the main characters AND all of the side romances. It's hard to explain how exactly, but Alban has managed to make even the little characters seem so full with their own rich worlds going on around them.

Very promising so far, but my GOD is it a completely different reading experience to Babel.

I'm kind of disappointed with this one so far ngl; it's just not living up to the hype and expectations and the romance feels a little forced. Saving final judgements, though.
