Everything I read in January 🌘 classics, modern lit & new favourite books

the main villain in this last book was completely underwhelming i found myself literally not caring what happened to any character in this book which is so sad and i was just so let down the writing was so lackluster i felt like there was no substance at all and it was just a really disappointing third installment

like the fantasy romance and the romance part was completely fine i had no problem with it but what i really couldn't stand about this book and kind of made me want to just like skip all the parts that weren't smut is that just like every single person in this book was so annoying to me except for hades

i really enjoyed this not as much as other tolstoy i read obviously but i wasn't expecting to be like blown away because this is his first novel and he did write it when he was quite young so i really did like it though i think it's a really good one

i think this book is a really serious beautifully intricately done study of society and the way that we treat certain people and the way that we treat certain jobs and the way that we treat certain careers and ways of life

i was giving it kind of like a 3.5 stars because i liked the story i enjoyed the writing i enjoyed the topics being discussed but then we got to the last two chapters of this book and oh my gosh kind of like chills almost because i didn't really know or i didn't really foresee what the last two chapters would bring up and would start to discuss in this novel

it's just this is an incredibly hard book to read it took me a while to get through the audiobook because i had to keep like coming back to it and such the writing style is incredible such a talented writer

it was beautiful it was so subtle it was like the most subtle knife slice through your heart because just the way that kawabata is tragic with his language and his words and of course the content and the story because this is a tragic love affair

this book dragged a lot it felt very slow i got really bored yeah i think a good thing i can say about this book and really praise about it is just like the atmosphere of really taut suspense

damn it this book was so good it was so good i cannot praise it enough it's a very character focused book is what i want to say as well it's very slow moving middle grade fantasy

i loved how much physics and how much math was discussed in here because i think it was really accessible

it's just incredibly interesting it was so compelling to me i almost could not put this down i really loved it
