so-soHere‘s my review for this book.
I‘m counting this book for the #greekmythologychallenge:
📚 Morpheus - God of Dreams | A book featuring a utopia - a dream world
pickThere are some things I noticed this time around that I didn‘t on the first read. I always hate gross sex or rape scenes as a shortcut to denote evil, and there‘s some of that. The ending is also rushed. I still found Apt Pupil to be one of King‘s most chilling stories as the evil is entirely human. #audiowalk
#ARichLife Day 26: #Frost and Starlight. Any ACOTAR fans here? Haven‘t tackled this one yet.
pickOne thing about me: I love a T. Kingfisher novella—and this delightful, warm-hearted, and downright disgusting romp of a fantasy captured my heart!
so-so… Huh. So, I found this novella sort of confusing. On some level I understood the stories that were being told by this older woman who used to be the handmaiden to the empress, but I didn‘t really care or connect to anything that was said. Cleric Chih is chronicling the contents of Rabbit‘s house for posterity… but so what? I wonder if reading more novellas set in this world would clear things up, but I probably won‘t.
pickThis is a love story set in the midst of an in-progess global apocalypse. It's filled with lust, miscommunication, and attempts by one party to anticipate the desires of the other (and missing the mark, as so often happens). I'm not sure I *like* this novel, but I love Xe Sands's narration and the story definitely touches on some interesting ideas about love, connection, and mortality.
pickWell that was intense! Possibly the most fantasy-horror leaning of the series. I get why in the acknowledgements, the agent suggested not releasing this one in 2020. If I can extrapolate from there, I also get why a particularly dark story would get written in 2020.
Did not see the first reveal coming, or the second for that matter, but the first one gave me a chill and an aha moment, and the second one was just more darkness.
1/2
panA pan for me simply because I had no idea what was going on! 🙃🥲 The plot was hard to follow and the characters felt distant. This is an unpopular opinion though. I‘m honestly happy so many others loved it! 2⭐️s maybe? How do I even rate this lol.
