December 2021 Reading Wrap-Up | Part 1

i felt like a lot of the characters and the plot of this were predictable and i'm not gonna go so far as to say that they're all extremely stereotypical but i could not shake the feeling throughout this entire story that i had read it before

so yeah really interesting subject matter from an absolute expert and pioneer in her field and this is one i would definitely recommend i think it was a really strong book

while gorman has she has a good voice she's a good poet i don't know if she added enough to really reframe things that like i was already very familiar with

but it's a good story with good characters and i like the writing i like the artwork so i will definitely finish this one

i have loved this i loved it when i read it about two years ago and upon re-reading it hit all of the right spots i love the mystery in it i love the characters i love the side characters a lot

i think this first book just piles up a lot of setup and more and more questions and a whole bunch of characters and factions i do think that i enjoy this book a lot more than turnbull's debut novel the lesson

that being said i thought volume 2 was better i kind of think i like melody cooper's writing more

i felt like the writing of this just was very jarring it felt like every issue had a problem that was rapidly resolved sometimes almost off the page and then there were these very jarring like time jumps and big like distance jumps in between stories and stuff and it was a bit odd

so it was a perfectly fine book but i think it could have been shorter
