Ending and the lead up was interesting. But I don’t think it made up for the rest.
There must be something wrong with me. Sooooo many people seem to love this book. While I only found it to be 🤷♀️ Okay. This is the second time this has happened to me in the last couple months so maybe I’m just dense lol idk

I liked young Nina. And the chef + Andrey, bishop was fun. But the count?? Idk he never won me over - which is maybe why the book didn’t either. I know he’s Supposed to be witty and charming and kind and yadda yadda but idk. I think I must have a thing against writers trying to be charming maybe? I remember really disliking Neil gaiman’s humour in neverwhere and I wonder if this is similar?

Finding this to be a little boring :/ I thought I’d get more into it as I went on but I’m halfway through and still feel meh
reading reviews beforehand may have set my expectations too high
I’m having trouble sleeping rn due to some loud truck noises outside so it’s time for a bit more reading
