Listening to this FMC is about as interesting as watching paint dry.

I’m dangerously close to DNF’ing.

I suspect that you would love this if you loved Divine Rivals or The Everlasting. I did not love either of those books. This far, I enjoy it when I pick it up, but I never have the urge to pick it up. This was advertised to me as slow burn fantasy romance. What this really is… is historical fiction with magical realism. I wish I had that expectation going in. I hate time travel… And this is effectively that.

This is undeniably, beautiful. And it’s obviously impactful, because it has made me cry twice. But it really is an examination of humanity, and I don’t know that I’m in the mood for that. I thought this was fantasy romance!

The way I’m at 82% and continuously considering DNF’ing… Ugh.

Giddy! Kicking my feet! Chills. Love. Love. Love.

Lovingggggggg! I think this is going to become a comfort read.

Ooh! 1984 vibes, but totally present day. Bleak!

On a roll with this!

Hooked!

Flashbacks are a death sentence for me… Seems like there’s going to be a lot of those. Might have to say goodbye…

I’m at 40% and can’t remember any of the characters’ names. Might be a sign I should DNF.

Amen the trials are over. I’m interested… but not compelled… Not sure how I’m going to end up feeling.

I hate games and trials. Damnnnnn it. I didn’t know that was part of this book. I hope it doesn’t last long.

Been a little bored for a while… Dragging a bit.

Eating this up!

I’m so bored. I’m barely paying attention and don’t even feel like I need to rewind to see what I missed. Everyone is whining. Nobody is communicating. What is this book even about? Planning a wedding? I’m moments from DNFing. I don’t recognize these characters.

I am really enjoying this, but I’m not obsessed with it like I was with the first book. The plot is a little too linear…

This is moving fast. And despite the speed, I feel like I know the world and the man character well but damn, feel like this plot got shot out of a cannon. Love it!

OMG! Jason Clarke makes me giddy!

Dual timelines narratives… Really don’t enjoy them. Struggling to care every time we bounce back to the past.

I am so god damned bored. I hear this picked up past 50%… and that the series is amazing. But I cannot endure this any longer. There are so many characters. And I don’t care about a single one.

Also… I just don’t think Levi is a compelling love interest.

The first 25% of this had me sad. The rest is fine. The romantic arc doesn’t make sense. I really wish she wasn’t insecure, and he had to fight for her to be interested in him.

Obsessed. Consumed 20% of this book in my first sitting. This is going to destroy my sleep this week. There’s something SO special about this. Unique start to the plot. Great tension. High hopes for this one!

This book is background noise. Not a single thing that has happened so far has been memorable. The premise pulled me in, and the beginning was interesting enough, but I couldn’t be more bored. Sticking with it because everyone says it’s amazing. So far, I couldn’t care less about any of the characters.

Ughhhh. These tropes are the worst! And there’s so much filler… Finding myself skimming at this point.

Alright… now 2/3 of my least favorite tropes are occurring simultaneously. Not sure how much longer I can keep going…

Mood reading through this like it’s my job. Chips read for sure.

Easy listen! Enjoying! Haven’t of theories already. This is giving Sixth Sense reveal vibes.
