BEFORE ANYONE CAN JUDGE, I am reading this so that I can read the Doppelganger by Naomi Klein with context and vibes

bhai legit, nhp

Here's to hoping this doesn't put me in a reading slump

might have to reconsider what I'd said earlier because I. AM. LAPPING. THIS. UP

man, it saddens me but I think I have grown out of these pop-romance novels

boooooooooo-oooooooring

Oh, I'm truly rewarding myself with this one

My girl's almost dying but God forbid we don't get descriptions of his "perfect planes and magical muscles"

I get it, usually most of Zapata's heroines are some level of pushovers. But Gracie is a ball of loneliness, horniness (my God, the description of his beautiful face and sculpted body, I cannot) and self-pity that is difficult to get behind.

Gracie is a particular brand of doormat that is difficult to read and root for. <spoiler> Girl, it took literal torture (by someone else, ofc otherwise I wouldn't be reading this book) for him to even be decent to you. Why the fuck is she apologising all the fucking time. </spoiler>

Not to mention; the most amount of personality I'm gathering from the Grump is through grunting and scowling; which yknow, is giving 2014 AO3 ngl

Listen. I'm 10% in and there's just been too many descriptions of mundane things. When is the plot going to moveeee

omg another book with feminist themes but the protagonist has no friends who are women because females and their rules are so difficult to understand

Abandoning for now

Another un-funny attempt at humour by men in the name of satire?

I read a reviewer say how this book proves that authors need to be older to write better books. But if only older wiser people write books about young people, how will they capture the mess that is being a young person. I feel like Sally Rooney really brings out the essence of being 21 in my 10% of reading lol

Vin says Elend is a good man, and not rough like how Kelsier was (I am paraphrasing). But important to note that Elend was very privileged because of which he could afford to be a good man.
