What I Read in May!!! I Have Thoughts...One DNF, A Brief Slump, And A New Favorite

so far I am giving this one about a four stars we'll see how this shakes out in the next couple of evenings as I wrap this book up overall I'm really enjoying it

great stuff here great Coming of Age great fighting through adversity this is very much the hero's tale and but that's by Design and I've really enjoyed that

it's not boring like the first book

I finished this one I actually gave this one about four to four and a half Stars the first lady percent is just kind of meh it's not boring like the first book it's just meh it's just there and then it takes off it's a lot of fun

this is a very good book however there is a villain that makes a return from book one in book two and the way that villain interacts with our main POV Leith is very predatory it's very emotionally physically and even sexually abusive

I do feel that there was a pacing issue here something didn't quite click something felt slightly rushed where we were kind of trying to rush these things through and this felt like it could have been cleaned up and tightened up just a hair bit more but I mean I still gave this one about a four and a half out of five

I nfn Shackled Fates by tiller called Holt not because I wasn't enjoying the experience

I don't know if this series is for me because it's just it's relying on certain themes and tropes that are very historical fiction the representation of women in the way that they are treated as objects really isn't a thing for me

I loved this and initially I didn't because initially I like I started it and I put it down because I was like this is just gonna because of the way KJ Parker writes it's very dry there's this kind of sarcastic humor where he doesn't really take anything seriously it's fantastic to read if you're into that kind of stuff

I'm very happy that I reread at least the first half

this one has become my favorite Stephen King book and just the way we deal with death row and the Great Depression and everything I mean it's just it's so good it's so good

I read hellborn King I love that one as well great care character Dark Fantasy great stuff here

this one just kind of I'm kind of meh on it I gave it about a three to three and a half star and I think the issue with this is it's just it's busy it's very busy there's a lot of povs I didn't feel every single POV was necessary

I just absolutely love the character growth that Christopher G Brennan has harnessed in this series like these characters are growing organically like they don't just grow up in a straight Arc
