This book is so wonderful. Completely adorable main character. Very interesting plot, location, & people. Plus, the way the author captures Georgia/Florida/general Southern dialect is fantastic. I grew up with people who spoke like this. My family still speaks like this sometimes. I'm in love, so far.

I knew I would love this book but I'm so over the moon about it. It will be a re-reader for sure. Also, my heart is breaking & still Bardugo makes me laugh? HOW?!?

Y'all. I am LIVING for this right now. This book is surprisingly funny & I'm always giggling at Diana & her innocence. She, of course, is also a total BADASS & these fight scenes are so effing great.

This is better than I could have even hoped for & I definitely had high hopes already. This is fun, exciting, and keeps me laughing somehow. It's brilliant.

Excellent so far. As good as IADDW & already better than TWIC10. I want to read more but I'm falling asleep.

Despite some pickiness about the writing on my part, this has been a pretty difficult book to put down.

Also, I love Kashmir. *swoon*

SO EXCITED FOR THIS <3 I feel like I've been waiting FOREVER! It's like an early birthday present from the gods *dances wildly*

I received an ALC (advanced listening copy) from Libro.fm in exchange for an honest review.

The writing is a little jumpy and hard to read but I'm very interested in finding out what happens. I feel like this author really needed a better editor.

I'm enjoying this so far and very interested in what will happen but the way it's written makes it hard to follow and it feels like you were thrown into the middle of a story instead of embarking on a new one.

I can't tell if I love this book or I hate it. It's certainly given me a lot to talk to my son about as we listen to it together.

Jenny is wholly unlikable. She's selfish and sort of mean and quite haughty for someone who has no idea about anything.

The plot is interesting though and some of the other characters are fantastic (BEN!)

Excited to be done but I also want to know more before the book ends.

I've been avoiding this because there are too many new things to read to go back right now. Maybe I'll try again this winter.

Loving this so far. More like In A Dark Dark Wood than The Woman in Cabin 10, which pleases me.

What is this, Lost for children?

I cannot express how much I fucking love this book. It's wonderful. Hilarious and touching and people you love to hate and hate to love. A plot that just keeps twisting.

Yes. All the yes.

I'm honestly pretty impressed so far and fairly irritated at anyone who interrupts my listening haha

Not gonna lie...I'm SO EXCITED to start listening to this book. I really hope it lives up to the hype.

I'm listening to this with Liam & it's very cute. The main character is kind of annoying and I'm really hoping that this doesn't turn out to be something like "this whole plot could've been avoided if someone had just had an honest conversation with someone else".....by we'll see. Plenty of time to be surprised.

‪So. Many. Ships. ‬

‪Jasper & Wylan--please let there be a gay ship. Just please. ‬

‪Nina & Matthias--I feel conflicted but, if they can work through their past, they could be one hell of a team. ‬

‪Kaz & Inej--I want this ship so bad it HURTS. Kaz is terrifying but Inej is EVERYTHING & they clearly care about one another, so....‬

‪Not. Getting. My. Hopes. Up. ‬

Holy. Shit.

I get the hype.

I love this book.

Nuanced characters, excellent writing, crazy plot.

Only just made it past the introduction but I'm already cackling at the snark the reader is imparting to the listener. So far, I'm interested to see how the author proves his claims. I agree with him on a lot of points but I want to see the facts--which he promised, so I'm more than ready for it.
