Why am I loving this so much ….

Honestly I’m struggling so far with the writing style. It feels like she is trying to write with an old English style half the time, but not all the time… it just feels a bit clunky- not as smooth as I wish.

Also am lacking a lot of depth with the setting. I feel like I’m picturing the characters in a a blank space. There’s a lot missing

1st chapter down and wow I’m loving it🤣🤣🤣🤣

Really just feels like a hallmark movie lol

Quite cringey narrator. Also you absolutely need to know your English references with Downton Abbey and Pride and Prejudice to truly understand this book. A lot will go over your head if not.

Haley is so so talented I love it !!!!

It’s really getting better and better. I’m loving it so far, and I’m very keen to read the next books in the series too.

🥹🥹🥹🥹 wow so much is happening. I have a lot of thoughts….

They want to do what now ?!

It’s starting to get good now!

Hooked!!!!

Anyone else have Gilmore girls’ “la la la…” stuck in their head when reading this?? Also I started craving a harvest spice latte…

Really great so far. I’m beginning to appreciate CS Lewis’ writing so much

I’m lovingggg the plot and the storyline so so much. But I keep getting annoyed because there are certain words and phrases that the author is using over and over again way too often. Such as “reverence” and “pretend”. There are just some relationship dynamic things that feel way too repetitive

Wait wait wait what?! Calum is doing what now?! This book just got so much more interesting

I am loving being with the characters again, but like I just loved the plot of the first one so much and I’m slightly struggling with this one. Idk why but I really don’t like books about deserts 😂 so I’ve struggled with this part a bit. Hopefully it will be finished soon haha

Has definitely picked up more, and am enjoying more in this area of the book.

I’ve found that I don’t really like reading a lot about the setting and landscape, not too much more than necessary.

But I really enjoy learning about the characters and their developments and descriptions.

The dialogues are what I find the most interesting by far.

It’s quite impressive how CS Lewis balances the perspective and story telling narrative of Ransom. At some points it’s as if he is telling the story to us (therefore using past tense ) and sometimes we are absorbed/sucked into the story and so therefore he begins to speak to us in the present tense.

You can really see CS Lewis and his love for writing in this book so far. The words that are used feel slightly similar to 18th century vocabulary. And so I do get a bit of a headache reading it from having to focus. Otherwise it is very intriguing !

How could the cliche first kiss in the rain be made into such a good chapter?! Something about this writing style, the tension, the character development… just wow

Yoh this booook. A bit annoyed at how much Kai and Paedyn enjoyed killing Ace in this past chapter but other than that no complaints😂

Wowwwww

I’m finding that I really really love complex characters. Paedyn and Kai are so complex and they’re also kinda anti-heroes at the same time. Their character arc is just so good and well thought out so far.

my favorite phrase that Roberts has written is describing when one of them is falling “the floor begins flying towards my face”😂
