i want to be a jedi

The writing is too awkward and simplistic, and I'm not meshing with it. Sadly dnfing :(

her name is MOUSE?!

the increasing presence of magic is promising, but it's still too godly for me

I'm interested but would be more interested if there was less of a focus on god

the plot is very stagnant right now and not enticing to read

possibly the most british thing I have ever read

Mr. Lockwood, you are making me angry 😡

I AM LOSING MY MIND I AM IN AGONY I AM CRYING

a literal NIGHTMARE first visit to someone's house 😭 almost comical

THAT WAS SO EPIC I LOVE ÉOWYN

THE FRIENDSHIPS ARE SO CUTE 😭 I want to be in this friend group with merry, pippin, legolas, and gimli

I LOVE TREEBEARD SO MUCH I WANT TO LIVE WITH THE ENTS

this is so terrible that I think I need to dnf it for my sanity

goodreads insists on giving me these weird movie tie in covers 😭

most of my tabs are gandalf's cruel but very amusing jabs at pippin -- this is my favorite one sided enmity

Utterly delightful! I'm buddy reading this with my mom, so we're only doing one or two chapters a day, which is good because otherwise I would devour this book and couldn't ~savor~ it

such a Man™ book so far

the embarrassment is too painful 😭 I can't read any more of this tonight

This book is one long, extreme case of second hand embarrassment for the reader

Climbing out of a window to escape social interaction is craaaazy

I'm sure this has been said a hundred times by other people by now, but it really *is* giving me Howl's Moving Castle vibes which I'm very happy about

More YA feeling than the previous book

WAIT THEY'RE KINDA CUTE

I'm thoroughly enjoying this so far, but I could see the tone and main character being super polarizing

I don't understand how that riot broke out, surely Iktan wouldn't jump in and cause violence for no reason?! Either it was written clunky or Iktan is a BETRAYER

this is taking me ages to get through

i can't say i'm liking our MMC -- he sees ANY pretty girl and his mind immediately turns off and he has to smooch them.... perhaps bachelor concepts aren't for me

SO WHIMSICAL

I would like to challenge King not to describe a woman's breasts every chapter
