midyear book freakout tag

i loved black sun so much that i was like surely this is a sure thing

unfortunately it felt a little flat to me in a number of ways primarily because i don't think it gave enough to be sort of like a plot driven book but it also didn't give enough characterization to be a character-driven book

it was all pretty effective and it got me it got me right in the feels it got me in the heart it was not only that like i cried but that i just felt like i don't know very overwhelmed by what i experienced in this book

it's like the best of both worlds and there was just something really fun about this and i think this might be my favorite one in the series so far

i didn't stop reading spinning silver because i wasn't enjoying it i just kind of put it aside and then fell into a reading runt

stormfront by jim butcher which was also underdeveloped both the characters and the world and heaped on its serving of misogyny on top so that even the things that were like fine became disgusting under the weight of the misogyny

it is poorly written and edited incredibly flat characters in an alternating point of view that really had no differentiation between the voice

i honestly couldn't tell you any of the details from this book i read a couple of months ago because it was so forgettable everything was so underdeveloped that none of it even mattered

i've made it to 50 pages so far and it's a little bit slow going i can tell that it's slow because it's laying out a really expensive world in like a really detailed world but nothing has hooked me so far

i loved tetley as a main character so much and i just especially loved the narrative voice in this and how much this very short novella was able to just fully immerse me in this world in her set of problems and making my heart go out to her as a main character

i really loved everything that the said about friends and community and finding your place it just had a warm uplifting message in a way that was age-appropriate but not condescending
