really enjoying this so far!! also love the British museum slander ...

fifth book in a row where Scotland is inevitably important to the plot...how does this keep happening to me...why is Scotland my Japan...

guysss this book is sooo good I'm really enjoying it!! finally a retelling that doesn't feel as though it's trying too hard or not enough. this almost feels like a companion text to Frankenstein!! love it so much

50% of the way through this book and there has been no toxic love affair of vampires through the ages......VE Schwab do you know you have 30 minutes....

okay it's picking up i won't lie, but turned the page and it was Alice's pov....SNOOZEFEST ! !

this hurts me to say but this is getting quite boring and tedious. there's far too many characters introduced for a chunk and then immediately made irrelevant. also the Scottish girl annoys me

ok sabine is the best character by far. the two randoms who got introduced were not it at all. and the Scottish girl (Alice) is so obviously written by an American it's kind of funny. im still invested btw! i want to know how everyone eventually crosses over (if they do)

ok i didn't get the audiobook with Katie Leung but here i am back home (reading a book about vampires)...the problem with having multiple povs is that the person who's life is set in the 16th century seems to be more interesting than the girl whose life is set in 2019...

reading this so i can finally watch the acclaimed series that's been on my list since it came out...Gillian Flynn's protagonists are always so sickly and prickly

this being my co worker's favourite book...i worry for her. every bit of information U learn about Eleanor just is worse than a rest. what a horrible life she's had so far and im only 56% of the way through??

bangladeshi man mentioned !!! shout out !!!

im finding it much more interesting than i thought i would....eleanor is certainly a unique voice! never read a pov like hers before

ohh it's set in Glasgow ok that explains sooo much

midnight heat perfume by Beyonce mentioned 😭😭😭 i had that back in 2011

jo and jean 3 i actually think this handled seeing an ex and reconciling with them over an issue that affected you both really well.

coworker ****** recommended me this book as it's her favourite...Eleanor is a very unique character indeed. i wonder where this plot is going

me reading this on the plane and then my colleague pulls out when the coffee goes cold as she's sat beside me...ok sorry....

it's definitely a slow start, and much less mythological than the other Scottish folkloric inspired tale I read - this is far more diverse in character though. i love the mention of native people and how they're actual characters and not just props

guys why do the best of books have such funky covers...anyways really enjoying this so far. it's moving at a good pace and I'm quite interested in the little world that's been built

my boom cover is better ...anyways love the art of this so far !! can see it being animated so nicely

over halfway through the book and the MC and love interest have only just started to interact...mind you the love interest has been taking nothing but blows from the MC!!! free Odette 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 this romance is barely advancing...not even a romance...it's one sided hate .... can't vibe with that....

can this switch povs please...odile is not my favourite...

im pleasantly surprised by how much discussion between faith, mythology and the struggle between leaving behind a mindset you've believed in your whole life is covered in this book

actually loving how much hæra and Madeleine are learning from each other. and how much doctrine they both need to unlearn...hæra needs to learn how to be more gentle ok . be kind. spread love.

im really enjoying the way it's written. so immersive and I like the characters...this book is for horse girls

really glad i picked this up... super interesting so far!! love the Scottish mythology woven into it

not really vibing with the way it's written however the plot is interesting...Marie D'Odette D'Auvigny you are becoming one of my elite employees I think
