I've now read the first sister twice I read it and reread it for a book club and I enjoyed it both times and I really do want to know what happens to these characters especially because the thing about this book is that it felt like very fast-paced and like there were reveals and moments in here that left like totally breathless

Loved

I'm currently in the middle of two books one is how to read now by Ela castio and I'm loving this so much I'm not sure that I want to listen while I work because I've been co-reading it and like there are so many lines and things that I'm highlighting and so I want to be able to annotate and focus as I listen to that

Liked

I have like a vague memory of like the premise of this book and the opening scene of this book specifically when they find this main character who has been living like alone in the woods for a very long time but other than that I haven't retained a lot of it and I don't feel compelled to reread it

Loved

I love this when I read this I like credit this with a lot of like my wander lust in that in that moment where I hadn't traveled a lot but reading about this character traveling and like I don't know something about it like really like spoke to me

Liked

I also read the like companion of the second part of this just one day just one year maybe which I did not enjoy as much but I don't know it still worked for me in terms of like tying up this relationship and everything

Liked

I remember this one was pretty contentious with like the fat representation in this but I think that it was pretty clear in what it was exploring and like encountering any Nega a messages that it brought up like it was for a purpose

Mixed

I've only ever read the thief and I thought it was fine and one of the things about it that I was like it feels like an introduction to like a larger story in a way that like was okay but that didn't really hook me to keep reading
