Sorry, not sorry to 92% of littens. 26% in and I just don‘t care. I was listening to the audiobook as fast as I could (3x speed) and it still felt like it was just crawling along at a snails pace. The bells instead of hours just feels pointless. Just say hours already.

GingerAntics All of a sudden, 14 chapters in, this character is suddenly saying “gods on high” before everything. This is in no way an adult book. This feels so YA it‘s practically cliche. I‘m sorry. I just can‘t anymore. Even more importantly, I just don‘t want to. #MaiCorland #FiveBrokenBlades #DNF #bail #hardpass #YA #snoozefest #dontcare #cantdoitanymore 20h
julesG It's probably NA - YA but with some spice. 🙄🙄🙄 20h
GingerAntics @julesG I feel like NA is just a subgenre of YA based on what I‘ve read. I also read this had no spice, but “gods on high” that other character that betrayed you is still so hot. 🙄 20h

Aconight Audiobook on 3x speed was the ONLY way I got through this. I feel your pain so much. Here‘s to better books in your future 🥂 10h
GingerAntics @Aconight oh good! I felt like I was the only one! I was just sitting there thinking I would rather do a reread of something else than go another minute. So many books, so little time = no time for this nonsense. I commend you for powering through. 10h
Aconight @GingerAntics nope your opinions are extremely valid I assure you. I neverrrr put any audio on 3x. Unfortunately, I suffer from fear of DNFing. 😅 9h
GingerAntics @Aconight 2x is normal for me. I think it‘s a benefit of my ADHD brain taking things in super fast… but 3x usually it my upper limit and not comfortable. Somehow, this was still comfortable, but uncomfortable in how slow it felt. I just wanted the author to get on with it already. 8h

I‘m about 20% in and I don‘t get the hype. People are talking, and I‘m just thinking, “bla bla bla.” It feels very disjointed and all over the place. I just, don‘t get it. Why is everyone loving this thing? I‘m literally listening at 3x speed and it still feels way too slow.

julesG Same!!! I finished it, but don't ask me about details. I won't read the next one. 21h
GingerAntics @julesG oh thank god it wasn‘t just me! I couldn‘t listen anymore. I‘d rather listen to someone read the phone book or the dictionary. At least that would make sense. Actually, since phone books don‘t exist anymore, that might be funny. 😝 20h

I got this about 6 weeks ago, and it popped up on my StoryGraph recommendations of the books I entered. I guess it‘s time.
