I‘m bailing, not because the topic is uninteresting but it‘s a very dry read.

This was a very disappointing DNF, because 1. It‘s really short yet I still gave up. 2. I have enjoyed this series overall. The first two books had a strong lead character and lots of gothic creepy vibes. This book has a lot of unnecessary, tedious conversations and very little action. I still love T. Kingfisher, but this was a miss for me. #hailthebail

I do not care that I will probably end up eating this pumpkin cheesecake by myself.
And I do not care that I bailed on another book.

Blueberry @Aims42. It's pumpkin! 4d
lil1inblue I'm a fan of the bail. There's so much out there to read - why force it on something that doesn't jive! And hooray for pumpkin cheesecake. 4d

This is a bail because of content, not writing quality. It contains Broms beautiful writing and art. It is also a very interesting retelling of Peter Pan. Just the violence against children is very extreme and just not something I enjoy reading. #hailthebail #dnf

I really wanted to like this, the premise was very interesting, but I just couldn't get into it. After almost a month, I've only finished 100 pages, so it's time to quit. I'll hold on to it and maybe take another run at it in 2026. #hailthebail

BkClubCare All good, a book might need a different season. 👍 1w

Well, I previously mentioned I was struggling with the author's overblown language, which was a distraction from the genuinely interesting stories, and I thought I'd look at reviews to see what others had made of the book to see if it's worth me continuing. The reviews for *this* book are ok, but I saw reviews for another commenting on the author's transphobic, terfy views, and that was the clincher for me to bail.

Bookwomble My main reason for bailing is stylistic, a matter of literary taste, and others may find Blackie hitting a right note for them, and I must emphasise that (up to page 92) she has not promoted transphobic views in this book, so it's probably 'safe' to read in that regard, but personally, and with some disappointment, I'm out. 2w
Cuilin Ugh!! So disappointing!! I read a book by her that I really enjoyed. I guess no further reads by her for me. 2w
Bookwomble @Cuilin Yeah, disappointment was my main feeling , too 🫤 The reviews for the other terfy book mainly said how much they were enjoying it, then unexpectedly a chapter of transphobic ranting, with a lot of consequent DNFing. 2w
Bookwomble @dabbe Right 🫵😉 2w
