Reread timeeeeee

Once again we are at my yearly(if not quarterly) reread

I’m anxious about reading this. I feel like every sequel lately has either been great or such a disaster. Hoping for the best

This is always gonna be one of my favorite series to reread but getting through parts of these next two books feels like standing in traffic… just waiting to be hit by a bus

Taking a break from new reads to enjoy some old favorites because my head needs a break

Well I’ve gotta reread before watching, right?!

Reread for book 2!

So far this book feels like the hard line between an author having beautiful writing but not figured out how to make it into a style yet so something feel too fluffy and others a little underdone.

This is going to be a rough one, we’re picking up with my least favorite trope

Time for a reread!

Started book two only to realize it’s been too long and I remembered nothing… time for a reread

Was told to give book 2 a chance. We shall see

Nope had a bad day then got intimidated again. Going back on the shelf 😅. I’ll do it sometime hopefully

No more passing on this book due to expectations… it’s time

My God, I am LOVING this. It’s been soooo long since I’ve been drawn into a dystopian novel (legit probably 10 years) and I’m HOOKED

Anyone got any books and/or series to recommend? Read a few duds and would love to start my reading year on some better footing.

Is it finally time?!

For the love of God! Stop telling this super basic character how smart she is… she’s existing. She’s done absolutely nothing to be considered smart. While I’m at it… don’t describe her as fragile and weak yet then have her physically saving everyone. Stupid. Kill me.

It has absolutely none of the same plot concepts but it’s giving Ella enchanted energy somewhat at the start

Okay I’m usually a big fan for jumping right into a story and hitting the ground running but in this it felt jarring and stupid. Honestly it’s making me not want to give anyone a chance because so far this story is written in such a way that you genuinely can’t care about anyone because even the “background” we got tells you absolutely nothing of relevance.

The only redemption this book will have is if all her former friends get disfigured or murdered… I will only settle for completely unwell.

I forgot how much I love these recaps

There sure are a lot of conversational call backs

Yup. Wilder is forgiven but I don’t forgive Kip. No one else seems to care but I’m so annoyed with him. One minute he’s a great friend, the next he’s completely disregard everything that would matter to her because he feels it’s right. Annoying

Dude I know that we’re mentally about to switch sides or whatever but I’m soooo annoyed and mad at her friends… I’m petty enough I would have left everything and everyone behind

Reread time before book two ❤️‍🔥

For the first time in a hot minute, I genuinely have no idea what I want to read next.

Finally diving into this beast

I never dnf but I can already assume that this is gonna be an absolute no.

I’m really just getting started but
1) I somehow didn’t know this was a ya
2) telling a kid that they are just gonna go to a different school until thanksgiving is not how schools work
3) making your child move days before their senior year with no warning? Diabolical
