This author needs to use a thesaurus and find some alternative words for mate.

Partner
Fated one
Wife/Husband
Helpmate
Better half

If you played a drinking game and took a swig every time you read the word mate, you’d be dead.

It’s so good!

And just like that it’s spoilt 🤮

The world building by in this book is phenomenal. I don’t understand how there can still be 40% to go because it feels as it we’ve reached the climax already!

So far I really hate the male lead in this book, and I’m not feeling the chemistry between the two main characters.

DNF: it’s a chore every time I pick this book up.

I keep having to visit a dictionary to discover what certain words mean. There’s nothing like an author who wishes to show off the breadth of their vocabulary and research to take you out of a story.

It doesn’t matter how many times I ready this book, it is always a joy to read.

Boooooooooored.

I am so bored reading this book. I’m struggling to get into this one. And I’m a Jay Kristoff fan. I’ve enjoyed reading all of his other books.

But this one is simply just not doing it for me.

I’m listening to it on Audible, so far I’ve listed for 6 hours, and I still don’t care about the main character.

The number of super short chapters, and I mean LESS THAN A PAGE, in this book are driving me nuts.

I’m currently so bored I’ve seriously considered not finishing this damned book, but when I’ve tried to look up the ending, even the spoilers sound ridiculously complicated and convoluted. I’ve invested so much time into this series, I reread the first two books in the run up to this, that I just wanted to know how it ended. So I’m now reading it resentfully, just so I can find out.
