YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHH

i fw the musical, hoping this is a little more satisfying than the new movie. lots of people hate this thing, i’m excited to dive into it though.

finally checking out lotr, and reading this to ease me in. delightful so far, much more of a vibrant world than the movies portray—and thank god for that, i find that trilogy a little dull.

just finished part 1, easily my favorite part of the trilogy thus far. it’s all coming together

not loving this one so far. still think the story and stuff is cool but wow does every single event in this book feel SO contrived. it’s somehow making me like the first one less.

THIS IS SO GOOD.

THIS IS SO GOOD. just finished the first part, which could’ve been a whole book in itself honestly, the ending was so climactic. it started a bit slow and i was worried it was maybe a little uninspired, being clearly very influenced by tolkien, as well as real world religions and ethnic groups, but it does a great job building tension and intrigue until the AMAZING last three chapters!! excited to see whats next!!

got this at goodwill today looks dope

really fucking with this one. wasn’t sure if i was gonna continue this trilogy, bc the last one was a little boring and strangely paced. it was undeniably interesting though, and i wanted to see where pheby was going with it, and i’m glad i did. some of the most unique world building i’ve ever seen in a fantasy series, and also some crazy prose and writing styles that are equally challenging and entertaining.

Been reading this for a month or two, stopping for the time being because it’s very dull.

Been reading this for a month or too, it is very dull. Might finish it, might not.
