I like and don’t like the narrator’s approach to the “anti technology” movement. From one hand I understand the dehumanizing angle but from another, this being the justification for john and sylvie being technologically challenged is..meh. makes me take the whole argument less seriously. they honestly just seem a bit dull so far.

unless you’re fond of hollering you don’t make great conversations on a running cycle. instead you spend your time being aware of things and meditating on them. on sights and sounds, on the mood of the weather and things remembered, on the machine and the countryside you’re in, thinking about things at great leisure and length without being hurried and feeling you’re losing time.

the locke thing is so goofy 🤪

the cruel prince is just cruel and so far so fucking irrelevant ive never not connected to two main characters as much i have in this book. the only character i like was dain and they killed him.

the sophie plot is so … 💀 i promise usually im not hater but this plot is killing me

shit, i’m still waiting for something to happen and everything is still shit. I think writing is more important than the plot, I don’t connect with Jude even though she shares so many qualities with me, so many internal battles that i’ve also struggled with but it’s missing something and i dont know what. So far I’m not convinced on this series at all.

Using extravagant vocab every 2 words does not make you a good writer. I also dont like how the author throws in so many characters at the same time and how jude the mc says that she lives with the man that killed her parents every two lines. we get it jude youre not like other girls

I haven’t ready any books of this genre in a very long time and thought this had good enough reviews….after reading a bunch of classics….the writing is horrible
