Finding a hard time wanting to read this book, but I am determined to finish it!

I have to force myself to put the book down and actually get some sleep! I’m loving this- I NEED to get Hazelthorn

Favorite quotes so far:
- “You'll cut me open and find a garden of rot where my heart should be.”
- Though Andrew couldn't shake that feeling from the forest—the feeling of being watched by something not yet fed.
- But no one who was innocent needed to be so violently
defensive.
- October arrived with cold teeth sharp enough to split bone.

Holy shit I’m LOVING this book. The atmosphere is haunting in a beautiful way, and it reminds me of the spiderwick chronicles.

Atmosphere is 10/10

Tbh I’m not feeling particularly attached to any of these characters. But it doesn’t mean that I’m not enjoying the book. This’ll probably be a 3 ⭐️ book, and since the first one in the series was also 3 stars, I’m not surprised.

I actually like this mmc. I don’t like the mysteriousness of why the fmc and her brother don’t get along.

I’m liking it so far but I really need to stop reading reviews before I pick a book up.

SO GOOD. I DEVOURED these pages.

The ending is coming together! The only problem I have is Archimedes somehow disappeared completely?!?! I re read the chapter and there is no mention of him even though he fell asleep with Alice on the last page of the previous chapter….🫠

Forgot to log this last night

✨and the plot thickens✨ Still not over Kuang’s writing.

Quotes that I liked:
“As if he were coaching her to run a race they both knew she’d already lost.”

“Were people all just living paradoxes, keeping up an illusion just long enough to survive contact with others? Were people then all a series of lies in the end?”

OMG!

Loving this book so far. I really vibe with RF Kuang’s writing. I also loved Dante’s Inferno so I’m having a super great time with this. 🤍
I’m also not quite understanding some people’s reviews— specifically that “there isn’t a story being told” and that “it’s too academic”. Are we reading the same book???🥴

So fucking good and I’m only 20 pages in. I absolutely love her writing. I will NEVER understand how people don’t enjoy her writing.

You know a book is good when you’re able to hop right back in after being gone for a month.
I am LOVING the underworld adventures. 🫶🏻

I love learning that a huge organization/religion has actually been wrong this entire time!! ✨

Solmir redemption arc 👀 I’m sat.

I’m loving this book!! The atmosphere is 10/10 and I’m liking where the ending is headed

I really and truly just want to finish this book but I’m so tired when I get home I’m not in the mood 😩

Vibes are immaculate. I think I’m reading too fast but I’m a little confused about the magic system, especially the relationship that Red and Eaommen (? spelling is off) have with the Wilderwood. But maybe that’s the point?

Still really enjoying my time with this book and I love the dual POVs 🫶🏻
