Unresolved Textual Tension

Spinning Silver is like that for me. I will go to bat and die for that book. But at the same time, if you guys remember, I was quite critical of it.

I think the reason why I felt let down by Lady of the Lake is that it felt like a betrayal from the author to the reader, which is probably not intentional.

I think what the author is doing is very skillful, but I did not really enjoy it, but at the same time, parts of it are very well written.

I love it to pieces. I think it was like really fun to slow down with Geralt and Regis and Dandelion on this little journey.

But then that last fourth with Siri in the desert and like reading the is just like it's hard to read and it like it and the unicorn. So put an A.

I really liked Blood of Elves. I liked it a lot.

I was going to say whatever the second anthology book was my favorite. I think it works because cohesively the short stories all kind of play into the same theme of Destiny as parenthood essentially and also just it's so emotionally affecting when at the end Siri comes out to hug Geralt and like my little heart goes pitterpatter like that.

I found a lot of those original stories somewhat uneven, which we'll talk about more when we get there. In S or A tier, honestly.

i would put that actually just actually outright and bad

i actually did like i liked her she felt like a teenager

save your sister was legitimately pain like save your champion i was able to read and just be like oh no not the baby sister was such a pain to get through it was horrid

savior's champion was fun it wasn't good but it was funner than savior's sister

truth of the divine is weirder because it is both a better book and a worse book it's just the first half is much better and the second half is much worse

the writing the writing is fantastic

i probably would put it a skoshe into enjoyed because i really enjoyed the murder mystery aspect of it

it's not actually inoffensive guys it's good but it was definitely not as good as the other two halfway in a liminal space

i would say unenjoyable because it wasn't fun to read and also it kind of makes me mad with how it could have been good and then wasn't

it's straight in the middle yeah that actually could have been better it wasn't that bad

cyborg tinkerer worst it was not good

axiom's end i think enjoyed is a good tier for that one

i would actually throw kushil's chosen also and enjoyed

i would put that in crisp oh my god phaedra is and i mean the fact that she starts out where i dislike her so much and she has a realistic transformation to a character i genuinely root for and like

i enjoyed the entire sections of black sun but then there were parts that weren't good

it basically in 40 books it is maybe the only really good one we've read
