There is SOME reason/explanation but the fact that the king is sick and they all just sorta let him ~~ be sick ~~ really irks me about this plot. Like ?? Everything is a "I'm a king's man" but the king is being plotted against??

Lowkey I hate the romance with Fitz and Molly. I feel like it started so sudden, I don't see why she likes him romantically, and they both have these moments of immaturity (which is fine - but it doesn't make me like them more). Also Regal scheming would be more interesting if he felt like a full person/character and not like he was created to JUST be an antagonist of sorts

I’m making progress in writing so I’m not reading as much but damn. I’m like - not getting quite the level that was advertised on this book

Time to work, no overtime is CRAZY omg.

Bc we really only follow Fitz’s POV, I really do not get the romance with him and Molly. Like I’m not against it - but I don’t see why it’s mutual either.

Aaaaaa new ally! Love new characters in this series. Sorta surprised though that Lu is so minor though

I think I'm realizing an "issue" I have with this book/series so far is that it - be it the writing style or the actual narrative/details - does not give me nearly enough to where I care about whether the other characters succeed. Like, Fitz is the main character so I want him to have success. But do I really care about Verity? What makes the 6 Duchies worth rooting for?

Sort of vibing with this a bit more than expected (which is good) - bc the way I was vibing at the end of Apprentice was very meh. Like, I could understand who was meant to be his fatherly type figures but I didn't feel like I really got to see fun/interesting interactions. This one has started off stronger - especially with Patience

Gotta say, some of these memoirs that I've read really do NOT make the LDS look great

Oh huh. I sort of forget he was on Nick. And him being friends with Jennette Mccurdy is pretty interesting

Wow his dad sorta sucks. I didn't realize he started singing on TV at such a young age

I wonder how this and his 2010 book differ. It's possible I'll go back for it - but I have a feeling I'll find this a "better" read

Oh my biggest enemy in literature: LONG (sometimes multi) page-length paragraphs. How my eyes and attention span HATE trying to read you

Making my way through this slow and steady ngl. Things are getting more interesting thankfully. Reading yesterday was hard bc I was so tired but today was better

I don't love that I've already lost track of how old Fitz is but I'm assuming he's low double digits at most given that he's 6 when the story starts

I'm not super sure how I feel about reading the sequels but I'm enjoying this quite a bit? I think I was also confusing this initially with another classic sci-fi dystopia bc I swore this was in space for some reason. Maybe I'm thinking there was a crossover with the actor who plays the main character

I'm really on a roll and I'm almost caught up to the last volume so I really gotta pace myself. I might end up picking up a different manga series just to draw things out

First- omg Nagumo
Second- XD that's hilarious but very helpful that the second chapter in this volume literally gives us a diagram of where everyone is

On one hand, I'm not really digging this - but on the other hand, I do really enjoy the general premise

Gonna read the previews and count it toward my reading goal since there's about 150-ish pages of content. BUT no rating since this is technically TBD on being canon/not fully released

I got side tracked and didn't get very far in between work stuff.

I'm at the point where ALL the POV chapters I look forward to the most are basically done. I think what makes this book not hold as strong for me is that there's no more content after this - like there are the preview chapters of Winds but I think those aren't 100% solidified as canon + it's not a full book anyhow

God, it's not to say there are parts of this book that are unessential - but there are just parts of this book that are so heavy and not very actionable that has me mildly bored and done. I really think AFFC and ADWD was not divided in the way that would be most entertaining - even if it's geographically split correctly, which lowkey I don't totally get but I've never looked at the maps long tbh

Omg this book definitely causes a bit of boredom, given my tastes/preferences. I think some of these POVs should've been put into Crows

The immediate ick that came over my body that Ryan is one of the handsome boys. Gotta love when a name is ruined for you, for a somewhat silly reason

I didn't get very far because I took breaks to read other things. But I do think I read ~150ish pages of AFFC? So I did a decent total today.

Another really short one XD - this month I'm getting through a lot of fantasy-fantasy. This one isn't even 50 pages. My brain really needed the break from ASOIAF I guess and those chunky books

I need a break from ASOIAF so I'm gonna read this real quick. It being ~ 100 pages will make it really easy
