Oh I don’t think I like what just happened.

This book is soooo long!

Tempted to just look at the end and return it.

Disappointing so far. Seems like the series turned into a whole bunch of silliness after the first book.

The “But I have to create a complicated web of deceit so that I can accomplish this one goal” trope is not my favourite. Even if it’s an altruistic goal.

The “I have to lie to everyone all the time so that I can accomplish this one goal” plot line is not my favourite trope.

Cute so far, but everyone is so clearly Learning Lessons. Sigh.

Can’t take it. The info dumps, the speechifying, the melodrama. Too much.

So far the plot seems to be an episode of violence, an episode where the protagonist gets a single clue, then arrives at certainty about another person’s heinous motives and actions, repeat.

Getting less tiresome.

Hyper-intense all the time. But in a really YA way. Not sure I’m going to make it through.

This is a reread from ages ago. And it is not improving on reacquaintance. The female protagonist is a pouting cardboard cutout, and the male protagonist is a snob. I think I will give the rest a miss.

Time travel is not my jam(I usually start to have objections to the logic of the details in the story,but then my brain gets tangled and then I stop caring) but this is very enjoyable so far.

I’m mostly enjoying this, but there have been at least THREE summaries of a previous couple’s relationship (from a prior book). Like, I get it! They were married! They were estranged! They reunited!

Please, stop repeating this story! Please!

Ugh. Boring recitations of the events of previous books. Like, I do not care. I have zero curiosity about the random other happy couples. And if I did care, I would read their books, not the plot summary. Write dialogue that doesn’t rely on info dumps, instead!

My library loan is going to expire in 2 days and that might be for the best.

Maybe I need more detailed knowledge of the original to appreciate this.
