I can’t decide if I care enough to keep going. Nothing has really happened yet. It’s a lot of words, a lot of jumping around.

Getting there slowly. There’s A LOT in this book.

This book is irritating the crap out of me. Was it even edited?

Yes, this is definitely “what if the unibomber had a daughter”

So what I’m getting from this book so far is…what if The Unibomber had a daughter?

Pros: magical elements/unexplained things that are just accepted
Cons: there’s a BIG SECRET that everyone refuses to talk about, which is normally fine except when it’s mentioned on every other page and could probably be easily resolved with one conversation.

If there isn’t a HEA, I’m going to be writing some very angry emails.

Seventy-some pages in and there’s not a lot happening. The writing is really good, though.

I liked Louisa at first, now she's just annoying and stupid. Like REALLY stupid.

I'm looking at the reviews and wondering if I'm reading the right book. I like the premise, but it's kind of annoying to read. The dialogue doesn't feel natural. I don't like Emmy that much. And all the parentheses are distracting.

Not nearly at all what I expected. I hope it gets better soon

Very slow going with this one. Having a hard time getting into it. I know they tell writers to show, not tell; but it seems like this one is going overboard on the showing. Like overly descriptive. I can't really connect with the MC, either. I don't understand the thing with the rat. And how it only seems to appear at random times when something needs to happen.
