Right now this is a five star, best of the year contender. Visceral, gripping, challenging, exceptional. I hope this carries through to the end, I'm due a reading win!

This is entirely historical fiction, not horror. Having a ghost in the book doesn't make it horror. This book is very boring and I'm having a serious problem with reading uninteresting books right now so I'm going to DNF this.

This book is just fine and in fact the writing is good. I just cannot find the motivation to pick up another standard high fantasy right now.

I can tell this is just going to make me really angry by the end.

This is my third Leigh Bardugo book. Both prior books got three stars from me, but this is GOOD. Reads like classic Spanish magical realism.

"From the darkness, Katrina willed her violin to build their world. To let there be light, let there be colors, then calculus and molecules and starlit vistas, let there be home after home after home where no one yelled and no one was beaten" (p. 213).

This is such a weird book with a realistic YA protagonist, space aliens and demons. It shouldn't work but somehow it's profoundly affecting.

This is good - better than expected.

Chapter 13. Sweet and hilarious.

This manga is stupidly cute. The spy pretending to be a dad is like - no problem sweetheart I'll give you a silenced pistol! Gotta make sure to blend in. LMAO

Finished Book 2! I love the relationship between Fitz and the Fool. Like the last, this book is heartbreaking and absolutely incredible.

Book One complete. I guess I needed that cry?

I can't think of another series that I can remember so well after so much time away from it. I still really care about these characters and Robin Hobb is excellent at writing intrigue and at world building.

God, I love this book and this character in this series. I feel so good to be back in this world.

This book is so good. Upsetting. Rich. Well characterized. Back to reading...

Excellent so far!
