Written in a way that I think would strongly appeal to those who like short stories. Still deeply, deeply moving.

Very moving so far. I'm so glad I gave this a second chance.

Not enjoying this. It's heavy on the Reddit speak and low on Bachelor-like fun.

Just started, but it's cute so far! Hoping for something with science-fantasy/Lunar Chronicle vibes. We shall see...

Beautiful language, but very abstract--I'm finding it hard to know what's going on at many points, but I think that is purposeful, to give a real feeling of magic.

The plagiarism intensifies--dialogue lines extremely close to the film. How dare you, Disney?

It is absurd how similar this scene introducing the castle is to the Disney movie. Maybe I should read the original work--are these details coming from that? Because if they're not, my mind is automatically drawn to plagiarism on Disney's part...

Rough start so far, but seems like the third story might pick up.

There's something about this book that's making me feel unmoored from the story. I think the whole thing is too in medias res for my tastes--most of the characters know each other already and there's this big historical back story. I know a fantasy trend is to ditch the infodump and start as close to the action as possible, but I think it's possible to start too far into a story, and Mageborn strikes me in that way.

Smooth read so far. Loving Johnson's voice, as always.

I feel like this book and I are still feeling each other out. Not too sure where things are going yet.

Katie Gallagher is on page 48 of 225 of Clean Sweep (Innkeeper Chronicles, #1)
All right so far, but even though it's the first in a series, this book is clearly tied to other series that I haven't read, and everything's being introduced in a bewildering way. It's moving very fast for 50 pages--magic, aliens, werewolves, back story. I'd rather a slower approach.

Oh man, more issues keep coming up. Tons of flashbacks in the middle of scenes, which are difficult to follow because the author is using the (inane) advice to get rid of past perfect tense. This book and I are not getting along.

Still struggling. Very little action and way too much internal thought, on just RIDICULOUS topics. "Would my parents be proud of me, even though I'm an assassin? Do you think I can get with this guy, even though I tried to kill his brother??" I'm hoping this isn't my second YA fantasy DNF of the year. :(

Struggling with this ARC. It's reading like a first draft in terms of the worldbuilding and character choices, and the prose is clunky. Fight scenes are wooden, POV isn't close enough, adverbs aren't being used carefully. I'll see it through to the end, but don't anticipate things getting much better.

Okay so far story-wise, but the writing is clumsy and the worldbuilding doesn't feel grounded.

Love it so far; Charlaine Harris and I always get on splendidly.

Not quite sure about this one yet. The worldbuilding doesn't feel that grounded.

Does anyone not have the capability to add page updates to their books on Goodreads' home page anymore? My update buttons are gone. :(
