Dana is on page 138 of 358 of Hazelthorn

This reads so much like Don't Let the Forest In, but not in a good way. It's not AS overwritten, but the prose is, again, repetitive and the imagery flat. The characters are also super similar to Drews' previous novel. Both teenage boys are beautiful, suffering, feminine; Evander's thinness is often in focus. It reads like the steel-engraving lady projected on gay teens, and I find that genuinely weird.

Dana is starting Hazelthorn

Spontaneously starting Hazelthorn today because the friend for whom I'm catsitting has it on her shelf, so Katabasis will be on a quick 5-day break 🫡✨️

Dana is finished with Harrow the Ninth (The Locked Tomb, #2)

Definitely liked the last 15-ish % much less than the rest, but it was a super fun book! I also realized that I like Harrow much much than Gideon.

Dana is starting The Hidden Girl and Other Stories

I'm giving audiobooks another try via a short story/novella collection. I figured Ken Liu wouldn't disapppoint, and the first story already made me tear up. So excited for the rest!

Dana is 40% done with Private Rites

I'm loving this and am genuinely creeped out to the point I felt uncomfortable turning the light off when going to bed yesterday lol. The horror is very reminiscent of Hereditary, which is a film I love dearly. Really great so far, I wish I could read this all day today!

Dana is 11% done with Private Rites

I think the writing style works much better here than in Our Wives under the Sea so far. Enjoying it!

Dana is starting Private Rites

I just wanted to start this but got reminded that the novel is based on King Lear, so I'm now watching a 3-hour production of the Shakespeare play with Ian McKellen as King Lear before starting Private Rites lol
The lengths we go to
