Slow reading, even for someone pretty used to academic writing. But so good

There’s so much cozy fantasy flooding the market right now that I admit I open each new volume with a bit of trepidation. The slush sloshes in from the slush pile, often not getting caught & trained sufficiently by editors or anyone

So I started this book a bit on my guard. But oh my, it’s lovely! I’m about a third in and have finally relaxed into enjoying the story

I tried reading vampire books for October this year, and it just didn’t take. There’s nothing wrong with this book! The characters are great, the worldbuilding is super interesting, the stakes are good. I just wasn’t in the mood for something this dark, no matter the time of year

Forgot to mark this as “reading” on October 1st. I’m doing the one chapter per day thing all the way through October, and I’m looking forward to when they get longer! Right now they’re pretty short

Yes, I’m rereading this for a second time this year. Don’t judge me

This book is so good I can’t even!
