Honestly so incredibly well written, I wish more of this was mentioned, let alone taught, when we learn about WW2 and the Cold War

Sometimes I struggle to get through non fiction books even when the topic is interesting bc the tone is too dry but so far this is written so well

I forgot to update before but honestly this book is exceeding all expectations I had
10/10
I am devouring this
It was meant to be bedtime reading but failed dramatically when I looked up at it was 2am

This is quickly becoming my new favourite book, there are very few books that actually make me chuckle out loud

This is the perfect post submission book, it’s light and cosy, and has a sentient spider plant, I truly couldn’t ask for more

I’m slightly scared this is gonna be an Evelyn Hugo knock off with a dash of enemies to lovers

I have regrets, I miss plot armour 🥹

Just got past the initial fantasy book world building info dump 🎉

The audiobook is making an excellent bedtime story, but the voice person has made a very… interesting…? acting choice with Saphira’s voice
Like imagine an old gay man in the smoking area of a club who smoked 20 packs a day for 50 years

Truly the best hot girl walk companion

I’m loving the sarcasm and the scathing reviews of high level executives

ngl I’m loving how the author is both incredibly knowledgeable and also scathingly sarcastic

I realise that the MC is meant to be chattery sunshine to the other MCs grumpy dutifulness, however, he’s just giving insufferable privileged annoyance atm, with vague Jaskier vibes? The pair is very Witcher and Jaskier

I picked this up on a whim from a charity shop and now strongly believe that everyone could get something out of reading it. I literally picked it up because CS Lewis dedicated it to Tolkien out of spite but now I have so many sticky tabs in parts I want to go back to that I’ve had to change colour 😭

The content is 10/10 but the writing style is almost too accessible?

welp
this is definitely darker than the original books

Yes I did drop all of my current reads the minute this arrived

Honestly the best to and from work audiobook. And Stephen fry does all the voices like a bedtime story 🥹

well this is definitely darker than anticipated

I don’t think I realised how used to reading the hunger games from a girls perspective until now. Knowing what happens to Haymitch makes reading this a very interesting experience.

I now know far too much about fireplace fetishes and the thought processes of mating beetles
