I’m H O W L I N G

I hope the narrative style continues…bcs this has potential to be amazing and if it stays like this oh I’ll be so insufferable and shoving this down everyone’s throat.

Bcs unfortunately this IS the gay experience. I’m finding this hilarious in it’s tragic absurdity!

Even though I’ve been avoiding reading this book before getting the physical copy, life had different plans. After finishing a reread of his other novel Foe I craved more. Faced with the lack of audiobooks on my phone (i.e. books that actually interested me) I found a “long lost” audiobook of this book and decided it’s a sign and to give it a go.

This is my 3rd time reading this book in 4 years as well as my 2nd time reading it in the last year.

I’m just so fascinanated with Iain Reid’s approach regarding the narrative. However, this time I started from the end and circled back.

1st read was me experiencing the story.
2nd one was a refresher.
And now an attempt to really understand the narrative/characters.

Well if this isn’t quite interesting.

That start was…different if I do say so. It’s not bad it’s just different way to set up the narrative.

I’m really interested where the second half of this will lead.

Ja kad započinjem novu knjigu s preko ko zna koliko njih već na currently reading…vidi li se da me trenutno udara teški reading slump?

S ogromnim prijezirom sam započeo ovo čitat, al za sad me blago zainteresiralo…pa kao…okej

I missed this book…so why not experience this again…I remember the reaction when I first read the end of the first chapter…bro what is going on here, OTT thing to do, but slay ig

I love that were are getting more worldbuilding but also some MC intrigue👀, though I’m dreading finishing this soon since the author has only written 1/3 of the 3rd book as of now… 😭😭 I NEED TO KNOW THIINGSS

Cozy-book(shop)-coffee-talking-cat fantasy??? Perfect for the stressful upcoming time of the year!

EXCUSE ME???!???

The puzzle piece are slowly falling in their designated places. Very nice. Kinda was suspecting a part of it, but everything else…interesting. I’m very excited to see where the story goes from this point 👀👀

3.5??⭐️

I must reread the last part because I’ll be honest I wasn’t really paying attention and things got a bit murky there…however, this was beautifully written and such an interesting concept!!!

Weirdly enjoying this quite a bit

Teary eye no.4 🙃🙃

Got a teary eye…AGAIN!!?

While listening to this book today, I almost broke down in tears …TWICE…and one of those times was *FOR* a character that is a little scheming, annoying and untrustworthy shithead…Pierce when I CATCH YOU PIERCE…

I stand enthralled still

Okay, but I’m like SOO invested in this story and specifically the worldbuiling!!

WTF IS THIS UGLY ASSSSSS COVER!?!?!!…making me look bad…
