A (VERY LATE) JANUARY WRAP UP 📚

for me i loved the majority of the book and the ending actually wasn't my favorite mainly because while the stakes themselves were raised exponentially i didn't feel like the character's fear of what was happening was really matching the severity

daughter of the moon goddess is essentially a fairy tale and i thought it felt quite whimsical it felt very sweeping

engines of empire is a new i just i need the sequel i need i need it now

it is quintessential young adult in that it is so fast-paced the plot moves so fast the characters are kind of a little bit insta-lovey but i do think that the author explores that pretty well throughout the trilogy

i picked it up i got about 80 pages in and i actually really liked the main character so the setup is also really cool

i thought the world building in this was really fascinating it was a lot more than i was expecting

i just wasn't connecting to any of the characters and even though the world itself felt rather unique something about it ultimately also felt familiar at the same time

it takes place in korea so you get a lot of historical aspects from that time period as well as just cultural things that play a role in trying to solve this murder so i thought that was really cool

it's not very emotionally gripping initially it's just kind of like oh interesting that's kind of cool and then as it progresses there's a lot to it like i said is very eye opening so highly recommend this one

when i picked it up i could just feel myself drifting as i was reading it and wanting to pick up other things and it was no fault of the books
