Okay- this was a little wild ngl. It’s good backstory and helps push the narrative along, but it was WILD. Started dipping further into the self harming stuff that the first book by Kent had… so that was not so great. BUT, not as much and wasn’t so GRAPHIC so I’ll call it a win. We’re getting back on track now!!!!!

8/10

Okay- YES!!! I get it, THIS is what I wanted from God of Fury! It’s so good, their romance is eating and I love their dynamic!! It’s a lot less self-hatredy and really just focuses on their dynamic between self-discovery and twisted hateful lust. ATE!!!!

9.2/10

Okay- OKAY!! Less self-hatred type beat, one of my biggest problems with the first Kent book I had tried and it was just tossing me into a lowk depressive funk so I’m happy this one’s a little lighter/easier subjects!

8/10

Huh… idk if I’ll like this book or not- I’m worried cuz the last Kent I read was very middle-ground for me, a little triggering and dark but an overall good story. Hoping for the same good story building with maybe a little less AHHHH

I’m nervous about this book… it’s really interesting me now I think, it how it’s written— how it’s formatted and structured —I’m unsure if I can make it through this entire book. I hate to DNF books though, so I’m gonna keep pushing… fingers crossed 🤞

6.8/10

I’m definitely intrigued… idk I need more time with this before I start putting more thoughts here.

Okay last 30 pages have been CUTE

8.5/10

Okay OKAY… they’re really cute. This book took me a minute to really start grappling to because of some of the tendencies of BOTH characters, but just like they do for each other, I’ve kind of grown to love their personalities and relationship.

8.7/10

It’s eating DOWN, but with them finally together and the main plot taking hold, I’m scared that I’m still only a little over a third through this book. Like… WHAT is gonna happen, I’m nervous.

8/10

Hmmmmmm this is lowk fire af, but it’s still a little hard to get past some of the comments made by Niko…

8.5/10

Damn… okay I get it I guess

8.2/10

huh…

that’s all.


6.5/10

Oh so this books about to be ridiculous 🧍🏻‍♂️

Yikes… the Stephen king version of the Red Wedding in GOT

8.5/10

THE STORY IS COOKING!!!
Everything is seeming to happen now and it definitely has my attention. I’m in the big leagues now and only about 250 pages left. Things are definitely getting hot and I’m curious how things will play out!

8/10 atm

We’re getting there! Summers been getting busier and my attention for this book has been growing feeble but I’m gonna try to knock out a good chunk tomorrow! I can see where the story is going and I don’t like it 😭 fingers crossed that shit starts to change soon!

7.5/10 atm

Hmmmmmmmmm… “I dunno…” I say to myself.

7.5/10

Still around a 8/10 at the moment! Super intriguing, it is getting much more interesting the further I get into it (I’m finding I’m doing near-100-page binge reads the last two sessions. Just finished the pink stars section of the novel and it was really invigorating— how dramatic and raw it felt. Still having high hopes for the rest of the novel… scared how King’ll logically end the book though.

Sooo 7/10 right now. The book is loosing me just a tad… or maybe I’m just busier in life atm that I feel less inclined to read, but I just feel a lagging in the story. It’s still very intriguing!! Just feeling a bit of slack right now, but looking forward to what’s next!

okay… OKAY… I am getting it a bit more now. So the novel is A LOT different from the tv series… but that’s not a bad thing, not in the slightest. It is familiar enough that I’m not having a terrible time keeping up, but the perfectly paced plot that King is spinning is fresh enough I can still feel surprised by a story I’ve known and grown with for years now.

7/10 at the moment (leaving room for improv.)

I’m intrigued. I watched the show UNDER THE DOME years ago… then rewatched it a few years later, and just recently gave it another rewatch. I absolutely loved this story so I thought I’d give reading it a try as my dip into Stephen King. I’m still about ten minutes into the dome dropping and I’m this far in, so I’m nervous where the storyline is gonna go. I have high hopes!!

Uhmmmmmm… so where tf is this going with 75 pages left. I’m unsure if it’s a good thing that I’m counting down the pages until I’m done this book, but I think I still like it. I’m just a bit offed about the trajectory of this story.
