interesting… not as interesting as before but its alright, thr writing style is kinda putting me out more, seems amateur rather than stylistic

very intruiging so far, love this very kaizo ishiguro writing style (no idea what its called), although im a tad confused on what the blond fellows name is supposed to be

holy shit

liking it more… tristian development is good
the characters seem too cynical but whatever lowkey… so far its a 3.5/5
pretty fine writing, interesting concepts, characters were bland but now that theyre developed pretty solid

i do not like callum
but that is because of his character not the writing so good job ig
in interested in what happens next, but also mainly so i can be done w this book and read my new ones

not done for tonight… but im starting to like it a bit more thats its established more, liking the dynamics

his full name is overused… this book is desperately trying to become something its not… but its good 🤷‍♂️ ish

forgit to update… interesting enough a bit cliche at some points

👍

i havent read this book in two years… read some reviews and a lot of people seem to hate it uhoh

omg……… NOOOGRHRGRGSGSHSHDDH SHE CANT SEE GILD????

AHHHHHHHHH

AHHHH GILD AND SERILDA

absolutely obsessed rn… the world building is just so good and i love the different towns and cultures and characters and ugh its so good

cool so far ((-; good protag

nice! interesting concepts, sometimes confusing but this is a very intriguing story

cool so far

this book uses the word said too often
sometimes there are some really good moments, but then those are ruined
the style swap between the two authors is so apparent and makes the book uncomfortable to read
a lot of moments are out of character and awkward, just instances and interactions that are unnatural or would never happen

im trying really hard to like the book, but one thing that comes up so frequently (or in this case, doesnt come up at all) is the lack of indirect characterization and conclusion. so many things are explained when they dont need to be directly explained

i have a complaint: this book uses the words “says/said” WAY too often… direct quote:
“I hate this,” said Nico. “The whole situation makes me feel bad.”
“I know,” said Will. “It’s bringing out the paranoia in everyone.”
its like the number one rule of writing DONT use the word said often!!!! let alone twice!!! in a row!!!!!!!!

it was going pretty good until the mention of moo deng- how recently was this written??? this is too modern of a reference and hazel would NOT know who moo deng is. doesnt she stay off of technology?
