I've finally actually started the book after getting it before everyone else in the world pre-release lol i wish i could post the launch day photos on here

Forgot to update from several days ago. I'm liking the adventure so far, I might actually like this better than the last two books, despite a not-as-stellar overall Goodreads impression??? It started to pick up a bit, the world has expanded a lot. I'm having fun :)

I was kinda nervous to start but the beginning's a bit funny at least

Feels pretty in line with the previous books so far. A bit messier due to having two villains and worried the story will be stretched a bit thin.

Alright, i guessed the first major plot twist pretty easily with the crown. Can't get a feel on Maria's personality. Loving the new Lara. Having a good time overall!!

So simple and poetic yet so beautiful. Not my typical kind of read but i'm enjoying it so far

I feel like the beginning of the book is a bit more slow / the overall plot is less compelling. But i'm glad we don't need as much worldbuilding. Am excited for some major changes in the characters' actions toward Amari 👀

Trials weren't really long and exciting enough for me. But i'm having a good time overall :)

Enjoying it so far, but not 100% LOVING it yet

As soon as it talked about COVID in the past tense (first chapter), it became a DNF 😇

I like sigrid way more than margit. sorry to eldest sisters but i don't relate to you lol

So funny

Took a while to figure out if the Attempt numbers represented suicide attempts or attempts to write a single letter

Fun thus far!

Enjoying the format thus far

Omg, this might actually become my favorite book EVER. It's beautiful and deep and fierce, and I need to order a physical edition [currently reading via audiobook on Libby]

Amazing intro

Love Gideon, not sure how I feel about most other characters yet

How has it only been 5%? I've been listening to this audiobook for a long while already, hahaha. Enjoying it thus far, excited to see what will happen...

Kinda bored but narrator is calming so I keep putting it on

I’m too close to the subject matter. Proves to me I can’t really read books about academia without cringing.

I put it on [audiobook] without really listening and lost some of the plot… but imma keep going anyway

Alright so far. Missed the part where he accidentally kills someone and I don’t want to rewind so Wikipedia told me that part.

Am really enjoying this so far. I like the main character’s personality, am excited to learn more about the world/magic aspects but don’t mind that the MC doesn’t want anything to do with magic. Not too boring or slow paced yet, plot is somewhat moving along.

Currently my third attempt to read this book. Got the audiobook. Vastly more boring than the first two books. Am slogging through the middle in order to finish the story started in the first two books.

Had no idea this book came out! Enjoying it a lot so far via audiobook as I wait to get my physical copy (I’m excited to see the physical drawings/pictures inside). Picks up where the last book left off. Another interesting start and Ix’s insecurities feel v realistic.
