Every time she comments on how tall Larran is, my eyes glaze over

Natalie Monroe is 30% done with Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries (Emily Wilde, #1)
The most unrealistic part of this story is that Emily was made professor at the infant age of 22. She hasn't presented a paper at the most prestigious conference of her field, yet she's a professor—at Cambridge no less?? Get outta here

If Sancia's power enables her to "read" objects, a process that eventually causes pain, wouldn't that work the same with the gloves she wears for protection? I'm willing to hand-wave it, but curious to see if the book will address this

This reads like a very juvenile chick lit book so far

You don't have to keep reminding me the protagonist hates the Hierarchy. I get it. My mother gets it. My mother's grandmother's second cousin gets it. SHUT UP.

Okay, I understand why everyone calls the protagonist a Gary Stu.

The premise is cool, but I'm just finding myself inexplicably bored.

The first chapter was almost entirely exposition. Not a great start.

I'm enjoying this, but I gotta ask: where are the women? It's such a sausage-fest.

I can’t shake the feeling that Bringham is evil. He comes off as too nice and helpful

The magic system reminds me of programming, which is very creative.

Any book is vastly improved by the presence of a cat. Calliope has my heart.

Natalie Monroe is 20% done with The Sword of Kaigen
The warrior culture themes remind me of Jade City, but with waterbending and firebending.

Natalie Monroe is 2% done with Yumi and the Nightmare Painter (Hoid's Travails, #2)
"...he was the type who wore his hair long enough to brush his shoulders because he thought it took less effort. In reality it takes far more, but only if you do it right. He also thought it looked more impressive. But again, only if you do it right. Which he didn't."

Lol roasted.

Hmm is the rot a metaphor for HIV? It seems like it considering you can't catch it through skin contact, but close-minded people believe it can be

Natalie Monroe is 37% done with From a Buick 8
If my husband suddenly showed an interest in dissection, after years of never being interested in biology or science, I would suspect he's gearing up to be a serial killer.

Natalie Monroe
Natalie Monroe is 5% done with The Marriage Portrait
It's hilarious that Lucrezia's mom thinks her child was born wilful, because her mind was focused on unsexy thoughts during conception. Then again, we live in 2024 and there are people who believe that rape-induced pregnancies can be avoided if the victim just wishes really hard to not be pregnant.

"My eyes took in my broad shoulders, my powerful arms. Luckily, I did not need to be pretty. My body was built to wage war."

Natalie Monroe is 61% done with Tress of the Emerald Sea (Hoid's Travails, #1)
"Memory is often our only connection to who we used to be. Memories are fossils, the bones left by dead versions of ourselves. More potently, our minds are a hungry audience, craving only the peaks and valleys of experience. The bland erodes, leaving behind the distinctive bits to be remembered again and again."

Gorgeously put and accurate.
