Never mind... just want to have a reminiscence with The Mummy 1999

Bright and Broken Things

Eva
Eva is 15% done with The Winter Folk
It has the energy and whimsy of Spirited Away, but has deeper emotional journey for the main character. As a Chindo, it reminded more with A Chinese Ghost Story, a super ancient anthology from China where even Spirited Away borrowed from.

I'm sorry but this one goes nowhere. For a book claiming inspired by The Da Vinci Code, well, Dan Brown still prevails. Say what you want about his style of writing, but he knows his game. Many writers trying to copy him only to fail miserably.

Gue kira Empyreal itu kek semacam Buffy the vampire slayer but with Celtic myth. Ternyata lebih ribet dan membingungkan. I mean... udahlah dibikin simpel aja gitu.

Penasaran aja sebenernya The Da Vinci Code meets urban fantasy romance. Nah, tabrakan banget kan? Mari kita lihat jadinya apa, lagipula gue termotivasi setelah baca tulisan authornya bahwa dia merasa romantasy kebanyakan berlatar dunia antah berantah dan kepingin nulis urban fantasy di Cornwall. So... here I am.

Supernatural SE05 above meets romantasy wave hype. I appreciated the Supernatural aspect, it's as chaotic and filled with cheese fest like in the show.

Gosh... have we arrived in a state where fantasy romance books with magicians are basically a rehearse of Dramione fanfiction?
Because this one has absolute energy of Dramione FF, it has some interesting parts, but I can't deny how similar the world building with Wizarding World of JK Rowling. It's sad, man. It's sad.

I just felt underwhelmed....

Gila, gue penasaran parah sama ni buku karena nemu fanart-nya yang luarbiasa bagusnya bikin amaze3. Ditambah pengakuan author-nya bahwa dia terinspirasi sama Levi Ackermann. Yes, THAT Mr. Ackermann of Shingeki no Kyojin. Kesusahan gue buat dapetin sekadar bajakan aja bikin gue harus baca. Tadinya hanya ada dalam bentuk kindle book, lalu diterbitkan secara trad publish. It could be dogshit, but I want to know, dammit!

Eva
Eva is 38% done with Thistlemarsh
Beberapa aspek agak mengingatkan sama Emily Wilde, tapi ga banyak, lagipula bintang utama dari buku ini adalah rumah mewah bobrok penuh kisah magis bernama Thistlemarsh ini.
Cuman deja vu gue terhadap Emily Wilde bikin gue agak hehe sama karakter Faerie-nya yang grumpy banget. Yeah... ini tipikal adversary to lover trope. Kinda like Wendell Bambleby more, a smiley funny asshole.

Eva
Eva is on page 44 of 592 of Project Hail Mary - Proyek Hail Mary
Ditulis dengan runut dan logis banget menurut gue. Macam ngerjain soal Fisika beneran. Baru dua bab aja disuguhi kegiatan mencari percepatan gravitasi mengunakan metode pengukuran gerak jatuh bebas dan ayunan pendulum, Fisika Dasar banget tapi dijelaskan kenapa menggunakan metode itu dengan sangat menarik.

Menurut gue terjemahannya oke, meski banyak yg ga setuju.

Eva is 37% done with The Secret of Secrets (Robert Langdon, #6)
Udah lama banget jarak antara terakhir gue baca Dan Brown (The Lost Symbol) sama yang ini. Kek mungkin sepuluh tahun lebih, jadi TBH gue amnesia sama karakterisasinya. Dulu baca versi indonesia, sekarang baca langsung bahasa Inggris dan berasa banget emang bedanya. Langdon ternyata emang self insert buat pembaca. Dan Brown emang bukan penulis dengan prosa indah, tapi efektif, dan gue suka trivia sainsnya.

Pertama2 lucu dengan tokoh utama down of this luck. Tapi lama2 jadi berasa garing, moga2 ga kehabisan bensin bahkan sebelum separo buku dibaca. Padahal konsep dan idenya menjual banget ini.

Maybe the real prince charming is the guy who helps you finding one along the way is the trope I always find so sweet and funny at the same time.

It's a romantic variation of 'Gajah di pelupuk mata tak nampak...'

Gile, I'm a fan of this author. She makes romance enjoyable dan ga tebar adegan panas kayak apaan coba.

The Love Hypothesis

Eva
Eva is 70% done with A Steep and Savage Path
I confessed I pick this one because the cool winter tone and creepy things illustrated on the cover. Also, another Hell's adventure after Katabasis, this one with vampire as the guide to the underworld. I like that it's an Eastern European vampire lore than BS modern takes. More like a blood drinking vengeful ghost

Dear daddy is pureblood maxxi. He's only a half breed, a product of eugenic experiments. He's an asset and a non-person who should be thankful to be let alive at all. His mommy is not a person, a woman, a Chink, therefore only dirt.
Daddy deserved that Unforgivable Curse strike upon him. Rot in hell, Dad. Fuck you.

So far it's the most enjoyable reading for this year. I get it why Robin acted that way, coz itu yang kejadian sama chindo juga di era Orde Baru. Erasure of cultural identity (nama cina dihapus), forced assimilation (dipaksa menjadi org Inggris tapi juga didiskriminasi tanpa henti), tambahkan itu dengan dia adalah yatim piatu yang tak punya safe place. Tentu saja dia bakalan cari aman terus. I feel you, Robin.

Sumpah seru banget, penuh dengan penjelasan tapi semuanya menarik. Bener2 filosofi soal bahasa, penerjemahan, sejarah, dan hubungannya dengan penjajahan juga. Suka banget juga sama karakter utamanya, Robin Swift ga ngebosenin tbh. Mungkin ada yang bilang 3rd POV nya rada gersang, tapi gue suka tipe2 narasi kek gini sih.

It's so baffling good, anjir! In one way, gue berasa kayak baca Harry Potter pertama kali, terutama pas Robin dan Remy mengeksplorasi kompleks Oxford. Pelajaran tentang translasinya juga menarik. It's a long journey to the end, tapi setidaknya nggak harus baca tujuh buku sih....

Prinsip aktivasi sihir pada blok perak juga rada2 mirip membaca mantera dan melambaikan tongkat sihir. Well, I'm doing cocologi here

Gila, baru bab satu aja udah mempesona banget. I'm sucker for speculative fiction di era Revolusi Industri. Dari dulu udah denger Babel dibilang bagus tapi kek ga nemu dorongan aja nyari bukunya. Sekarang berhubung masih penuh semangat setelah baca Katabasis, gue mesti baca Babel.

Okay, jadi ini yang sudah gue dapatkan. Bahwa Alice Law adalah narator yang tidak bisa dipercaya, bahwa dia sangat tidak stabil secara mental dan mempengaruhi pola pikirnya.
Alice juga terkena sindrom pengkultusan individu yang berbahaya, di sisi lain dia juga bermain politik seks kotor di tempat kerjanya, tapi malah kehilangan nyali di detik terakhir. That's make her an idiot, either you're playing slut or you not.

I have heard too much hype about the author, and her book before this. I think this one started as solid. I like Alice and Peter.

Untuk world building sekompleks ini, gue merasa menjadikan cerita ini sekadar romance fantasy kok serasa menyepelekan. Terasa tidak pantas. Permainan politiknya emang khas YA, itu satu hal. Dikorbankan untuk memberi jalan kisah romantisnya, sayang banget kata gue.

I like the world building actually. It's feudalistic, grimy, gritty, smoke filled, coal polluted world where magic is wanning and worker class is angry.

And the MMC is actually Tom Shelby with different skin... that's kinda weird. Personally I don't really like Peaky Blinders, But most women loves him, so yeah.

A bit reminded me of Neverwhere, but this is Americana version of it. Neverwhere is very British fantasy.
