February Reading Wrap Up

I did like absolutely end forever but that was very short and I think that helped my enjoyment of it

it's such a clever powerful short novel that is really engaging to read with just fantastic character relationships and fantastic characterization

I just thought conclave was really interestingly done really great novel wonderful moments very tense everything Robert Harris is good at really interesting characterization and look at all these different people and all the different tensions between them and yeah overall really enjoyed this one

islands of Mercy reminded me of the fraud by Zade Smith which I read last year and loved

this book is so powerful and both like so funny and so tragic and so Grim but so well done and I thought the characterization was just incredible

in general I didn't love the writing and I found the plotting very random and it felt like things happened sort of for no reason or it felt like something happened in order for something else to happen next rather than it leading on from what had gone before

I kind of liked the first half of this book but in the second half the plot went in directions that didn't really work for me the ending itself was very ambiguous

I just thought Kim Jong born 1982 was fantastic I mean obviously it was very successful a few years ago and many people have already read it and know it is great but just to add my recommendation into the pile

There were a lot of things I really liked about Leoni I found it very historically interesting both the look of 1790s France and also someone in Victorian Britain looking back on 1790s France and in general it was a really engaging read with some wonderful moments

actually reading this book made me think also about how much I had loved a nervous itions by zy dangara which I read at the end of last year

I just thought this was such a joy like the Victorian setting the characterization the con artist elements were all so fun and so well done

I feel like there too I liked the first half and then felt like the second half just didn't pull it together in the way that I wanted

this was fantastic very Grim but very good really powerful and clever and interesting and really sort of gripping but not a not an easy cheerful read

it's a really engaging read and I thought the kind of mystery at its heart was just so well done but also there's so much going on around the mystery so much in terms of the characterization and the character relationship

the book it reminded me most of was the well bone theater by Joanna Quinn which is a wonderful novel
