FEBRUARY WRAP UP | NEW RELEASES

i still enjoyed it though i definitely think this is a very cozy fun adventurous story but i don't know if it's exceptionally deep i don't think it's the most original thing i've ever read but it was fun

i always describe this story at least the first one when i read it as being very vivid and vibrant and by that i mean that the descriptions are always really interesting i'm somebody who often gets a little bogged down if you have too much description on the fantasy things and this one i never felt that way i was always really captivated by the descriptions

i felt similarly about the book girls of paper and fire which touched on sexual assault and i think the author in my opinion took a lot of care with that aspect of that book and it's such a focus of that book that the fantasy elements when they were brought in i felt like there wasn't really a lot of development for the fantasy parts and then so it kind of just felt like an interruption

for me the difficulties in being able to put both of these different locations as settings within this book it just made me feel like i was pulled in maybe a little too many different directions

i thought the way the author explored this trauma was really well done i thought they put a lot of care into it and ultimately i really liked the characters and i thought that the love story aspect was quite sweet and sort of wholesome
