It is a shorter book, but it's been a hot minute since the last time I flew through a book like this. I can't believe I'm already halfway through.

This is due back to the library, and I still have about 350 pages left and rather then try to force myself to finish this in less 24 hrs I think I'm just going to soft dnf for now and check this back out closer to the next book release.

I don't know how I feel about this one. There are 3 out 6 povs I like read from, and the rest are just ok. I feel like some of these characters could have stayed a side character. I don't hate them, but it's making the story feel over stuffed with things that don't matter, and it's causing the plot to drag. I'm over 200 pages in, and not much has changed since I started it.

3 icks, and you're out dnf
Maybe I went into this thinking it would be as good as dungeon crawler carl, but it wasn't. Cool concept and idea, but I was bored, and every character gave me the ick. My favorite part of his other series is the character development, and in this one, every character felt 1 noted. Plus, oliver relationship with his sister was weird, and the best friend was weird and icky. Not for me.

Ummm I feel like it's one thing for a brother to be supportive of their sister's "side" job and her making extra money. But I think it's really weird that he was comfortable going into her streaming room and seeing her sex toys. Idk

"Did you ever notice this strange phenomenon when it comes to earth books about dogs? They always die in the end. Always. What kind of sick, sadistic fuckers are you?
Puppies shouldn't ever share a world with pain. Yet here we are. thanks, earth culture."

The AI system is getting extra sassy as the books keep going.

Not me as a child thinking Halt was an old man when's he's like 35

Not me as a child picturing Halt as an old man, and he's like 35

This was one of my favorite series growing up, and I recently learned John Flanagan died earlier this year. So I decided it was time for a reread.

This book does a really good job of making you feel hopeful, and then everything goes to shit 2 pages later.

I had to Google it, but even before I knew what it meant, I also would not want to go to a tavern called acrotomophilia oasis, especially if it is located in weird shit alley.

I lowkey miss when these books were just funny. What do you mean I'm sad for something that happened to a side character who's literally a man with a crocodile head and a shotgun .

Why do I have such little book left??? The chilfhanger on this one is going to be bad. There's no way this has a conclusion.

"If you know it exists, it knows you exist. The more you know about it, the more it knows about you. If you can see it, it can see you. And it hates to be seen."

Ahhh, I haven't eaten up a book like this in a minute, and what do mean I have to stop to make dinner

Ok, this is really cool so far, and it better keep it up

How do you fight something you can't remember or even record or take a photo of it? They literally eat your memories. Alright, this has high standards now with this beginning, being this interesting.

Right message wrong messenger

It doesn't feel right to have the self-centered main character call another character selfish

Won't lie. I just picked this up from the library because there's a cat in a spacesuit on the cover, but it's pretty interesting so far

I put this off for so long because I knew it was going to be good, but I thought it was going to be slow in the beginning, but I have not been bored a single time. This is so far really good

"The babababoon is the king of idiotic chaos. This exclusive mob was created by taking a standard earth baboon and crossing it with the population from a florida jail drunk tank. I'm pretty proud of this one. These guys ruin just about anything we put them in."

What a combo

I saw a review for this series, and they described it as a horror wrapped in a fart joke. And lowkey at times, I agree with that

I can see why there's a disclaimer in the front that says you don't need to remember all the station numbers and colors of the trains to understand the story

I think this would have benefited with one of their fights being the prologue, then jump to the treaty and training. Then, they could have shown their history and the info dumping as flashbacks. Because I feel like I had to quite a lot for the story to start happening.

Alright, finally, stuff is happening, and I'm intrigued.

I won't lie. I'm getting a little bored. I hope this picks up

I get the kid was a little asshole and thought punching a dinosaur was a good idea. But telling him to walk it off after he got his arm bit off is wild

Hell yeah, goat lady is still going strong and still has some of her goats 🐐

Megan! I'm finally reading it!

I'm so close to dnfing I'm sooo bored

It's hard to take bad guys seriously when they have names like nik nik and Mr. Cheeks

You know, I think I would find it pretty cute if someone looked for me in every alternative universe, but I would then get the ick as soon as I knew they slept with most of them
