so-soThe second and final book of The Crimson Moth duology. It went in silly circles for a while, but the magic war situation picked up around 60% mark. There was a lot of repetition across the board, at times I wondered about the plot because everyone seemed to lack common sense. But I finished it, and it was fine.
You know, sometimes I wish it was normal to just have full plot summaries for every book out there on the internet for easy lookup. Right now I'm being too neurodivergent to read more of this book without knowing how things work out, but I keep reading a chapter at a time because I do *want* to finish it.
pickI got into this shortly after complaining I wasn't getting into it, and oof, what a ride. This certainly goes places. I feel like the relationship between Shane and Marguerite was more background than e.g. Piper and Galen, so that I found it less strong mattered less, ultimately.
I had a big to-do list for today, but a stomach bug took over my life. I didn‘t even get a whole lot of reading done because I tried to sleep in between pukey sessions.
I did manage to read a play, some African history, and a few comics, though, including about half of the tagged book. I keep going back and forth on this series. I don‘t like it as much as Arakawa‘s other work, but every time I‘m about to tap out it pulls me back in.
pickSuch a great read. Tense moments and great perseverance from really great women. Love those witches! Thanks to our host for #LittensLoveSJM BuddyRead @StayCurious. I am looking forward to our final discussion and can't wait for the next book.

pickI really enjoyed this, though the final chunk is very chaotic and hard to follow. Time for the sequel!
