My most unpopular opinion yet? 😬 | December 2024 Reading Wrap Up

I found the organization of it a little bit wanting and I didn't like how much the author inserted herself into the stories

but as much as I hoped that I would at least like elanar of Aon by Elizabeth delier I had no idea it was going to go on to become my favorite novel of 2024

we cycled between their perspectives so quickly and their voices lacked differentiation to such a degree that I didn't know who I was hearing from at any given time and I really didn't care

so I did end up raing this one five stars it really impressed me even if it didn't go on to become one of my favorites of the year

but the two that did make it onto that list were the modern fairies by CLA Pard which I had read the initial chapters of over on threadable earlier this year so I was feeling pretty good about that one going into it I already knew I liked it

I found this to be very Charming very easy to love

it was all just like this giant trauma dump placed in a reader's lap and it's written in such a clinical emotionally detached way that I really had a hard time getting invested in this

this is the author of the novel Sweet Bitter which I absolutely love

it is a complex history that she covers within this book but she does so very respectfully and with language that I swear almost cradles you as you read it like I felt so much peace when I was reading this book

this is an Absol absolutely brilliantly constructed history of our understanding of human genetics and he breaks down the science of what we now know to be true about how genetics work as he reveals when and how those discoveries were made

as much as I thought I was going to love this book as much as many other people assured me that I was going to love this book I borderline hated The Glass Castle by Janette walls

that's actually my favorite type of romance plot so I really enjoyed that and I also really enjoyed the chemistry between the two main characters but I had some Hang-Ups with this book

I found that I really looked forward to reading every night's chapter I just found it a really nice experience
