I'm very sorry but this book feels slow and kind of cliche.

The characters are so flat -_-

Not sure who to root for

Schwab straddles that line between stained glass and windowpane and it’s really impressive

I'm loving her prose

"Sometimes I'm the fool, but tonight I'm feeling smart."

Story of my life lmaooo

My definition of "frying" is basically when something is confusing or mind-boggling. This book is frying me alive guys

Just finished Chapter 9 and wow. Ppl weren’t kidding when they said Brown doesn’t give a shit about your feelings

Accidentally put in the wrong amount of progress. I was going to sit down and enjoy a chapter but apparently girl wrote a 30 page chapter? We serious? I’m procrastinating on this book now lolll Im scared

These lannisters are pissing me off lol

God, I want to binge this series so bad. IDK where the Black people are tbh, it seems like the Society is mostly made up of white people? Kind of weird in a story about the nature/power of Humanity. But I’m loving it. If it weren’t for college prep and all that shit, I would have finished this book already.

I need to look into finding Golden Son and Morning Star to purchase, as well as the next books too.

At this point, I'm concerned RR will fall into the power trap, where authors write about the conflict between those with power and those without, yet the author gets distracted by "ooh cool flashy power!" and the story completely forgets about those without power, thus proving the story's theme wrong and the antagonists right: ONLY people with power matter. PLEASE don't let all the important characters be Gold.

Once again, I am just shook with the amount of literacy and theme this novel has the potential to expand upon. Race, becoming what you hate, biogenetics, epigenetics, rebellion, revenge, power, greed, HOLY CRAP dude. Usually, if someone said "fantasy is shallow," I would give them Dune or the ASOIAF or something. I don't want to judge a book when I'm only 95 pages in but this is friggin deep

This feels... very generic and classic. Great for some people, but the typical farm-boy becomes master fighter and also travel and adventure and also gets the girl just doesn't interest me anymore. These reads are great as a palate cleanser after some weird and unique fiction, but yeah. Not my cup of tea. His prose is really nice, though. He's a solid writer
