MID YEAR READING CHECK IN BOOK TAG

it's harsh to say this but I was bored the entire time reading this book like it was so dull. the best word that I could use to describe this book is just dry just dry

these books are both very unique and experimental and push boundaries and I would love for my reading to kind of shift more into this space this year. books like this just do something for my soul

plot points were eye roll worthy. this was by far in my opinion Cassandra Clare's most slow moving book I've read by her and I was glad it was over by the time I reached the end of it

I just found it really overwhelming it felt like loud thoughts that reminded me of my own loud thoughts and I just couldn't do it at the time I couldn't stick it so I had to ditch it. I got 190 pages in it's 988 pages

this book was right up my alley. this has that Eerie yet beautiful writing style that's paired beautifully with this bizarre plot it somehow mushes Beauty and gruesome in a way that works. the more that I sit with this book the more that I love it

the author still managed to make it fascinating from start to finish I was just amazed with how gripping this story became with each page flip. it's disturbing and wild and I love it
