idk how i feel ahout this... i kinda feel like i'm missing something? or maybe it's missing something? but also it's got pretty good horror vibes so maybe the something will slap me in the face when im least expecting it

"do you honestly think there are no consequences to performance?" (shannon killed that)

10/10 recommend the audio- her voice grates in the most accurate way (yet doesn't make me despise the function of my auditory cortex)

more nuanced than i expected! also, digging that it kinda reads like a mystery. i feel like the writing style is uniquely well suited to this story, and excited to see where it leads (but if it's to her being an actual tradwife and dreaming up her elaborate future im gonna scream, but i don't actually think that's gonna be the case). also loving that she's crazy and stupid, yet simultaneously astute & doing her best

sometimes i feel the author tries a bit too hard to be a contrarian or makes his point a lot more complicated than it needs to be, but this topic is fascinating, necessary, and relevant. slow going because i literally never sit down to read nonfiction, but really good. i'm gonna try to lock in a little more and finish this

was a slow start, but now we're really jumping right into it! raeve is sick as hell, and i already know i'm gonna love her and kaan... i feel like i kinda get where that's coming from but i'm excited to learn about their lore and get deeper into this world. i'm in it now

making it known that if i ever come back from the dead after years lost at sea, i'm gonna need to see a little more enthusiasm

this book is actually pretty good i think but it's also just not really doing it for me soo

i stopped having fun a long time ago but i've just been chugging along. (ps i just watched the deal and it was actually so good i should have reread those books they may have embodied more of the spirit i was looking for when i picked this up idk man i think i'm still in my red rising slump tbh and IM OVER IT) (but also this book is just not good sry) (im not sry cuz i swear AI had it's grubby hands all over this)

the world building? nonexistent. the characters? all over the place. and yet, i was having fun. but now i'm getting bored

honestly, objectively kinda bad but also just what i was looking for
