omg… i’m connecting the dots…

i don’t know if i can do it… this book is so highly rated but i have so many issues with the writing. it would be fine if it was being written for a different genre but all of the pieces are so mismatched and i can’t see how this could possibly have a satisfying story arc. but i hate abandoning books!!!!!! ugh

i keep thinking i’ve finally made some significant progress on this book and then i look and it’s like nothing i’m tired

i did it i finished a book everybody clap

you might be wondering “is she really starting another book without finishing any of those others?” and the answer would be yes. don’t worry about it

maybe i should just stick with YA books idgaf this is the most fun i’ve had since scholomance

claudia gray i owe you my life

is it “good?” no. am i having an excellent time? yes.

i’m gonna be honest i might dnf.i just simply don’t believe it’s necessary for a woman to be raped in the first 20 pages of a fantasy novel. maybe that’s my bottom line. i’m tired.

moka did not enjoy this book and she was right 🫡

why is this book so terrible 😭 this man keeps inserting his own useless opinions and interpretations of science and feminism and he just fucking quoted the star wars prequels. why was he chosen to write this book i can’t

yeah i’m DNFing this one cause what the fuck

this book is a mess idk how he messed up such an easy concept

i thought this was gonna help me understand the timeline and context of women’s basketball but it does not seem to be doing that and i am more confused than ever help

maybe i did start a new book. so what

The Building - i started updating these separately by story but i realized i was mistaken because they were all written and organized together on purpose. it’s not a normal narrative arc but it’s not a collection of short stories either. also funny that i realized this about a greater purpose during this particular story before i even got to the end 😂

The Nna Mmoy Language - she’s so good i’m sorry i doubted you ms le guin 😭😭😭

Wake Island - hated it. it was too dark and was unnecessary imo for the point of the story might have been. or even if the point was to be that dark as part of the novel as a whole i found it to be too much.
