Paige Halle’s Reviews > Januaries: Stories of Love, Magic & Betrayal > Status Update

Yeah I have no clue what just happened

I'm not really enjoying the part 3 Autumn section of the book and am hoping the winter section is more enjoyable for me

I thought the story was dragging for a long while before I actually was invested in the ending, which was practically the end of the story. But it packed a punch by the end and I can almost forgive the dragging on but not quite

Felt unnecessary

Hmmm the animation games, while I have read it before, made me more sad this time, I feel unsatisfied not by the story but for the characters

The audit was new to me but I couldn't help but find it boring.
I've read sucker for pain before but only remembered it lightly, it was more intriguing than the audit but fell flat for me, going on for too long

Well the wish bridge has always been my favorite from her fairytales of the macabre trilogy so it was a joy to read again, making me feel all kinds of things all over again, and yet even after all these years I want more, the ending not satisfying enough for my soul yet a good ending nonetheless

Okay so after more thought and more listening I was like this is too familiar, and I had to stop listening, I'm going to reread the fairytales of the macabre series and then listen to januaries. I came into the book expecting something new so as much as I loved the fairytales of the macabre series I kinda wish I had been warned beforehand that this book was going to have some of the same short stories in it

I finally got this on Libby, started listening to it and REALIZED IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO MY FAVORITE OF HER SHORT STORIES FROM HER FAIRY TALES OF THE MACABRE SERIES I'M EXTRA HYPED NOW
