books that turn me into the grinch 🙃

i just i don't feel anything for this book every time i read it and honestly why am i putting myself through a book that i'm struggling so much with when i could read something else

the only reason i really don't vibe with this character is because there's a terrible government in this book the main character elias like he's so against it but his best friend helene like she thinks it's all cute and fun at the time

i just really disliked like when we got to catching fire and he's like trying to kiss her

there ends up being like a romance in this book that i also didn't really connect with because it just felt so random

i read the rest of the book knowing this thing about it and it honestly took away so much of the power of this book and just the great overwhelming emotion and the meaning behind this book that i was hoping to feel

she's just not a good friend in my opinion to simon from the original book simon versus the homo sapiens agenda i just didn't really like her

it actually ended up being like a super underwhelming mystery and i was coming to this book for a mystery

everything else about this book is really rich like the fantasy aspect is just insane it is 18th century cairo egypt and very magical the world is very complex so it was actually hard to dive into this because it's an adult fantasy and it's so detailed

the other two books the crown and the air they weren't quite the same the romance didn't hit the way that these original books did

i love the original three the selection the elite the one i actually have a whole reading vlog series of me rereading them this year if you want to see they were favorites of mine some of the first young adult books i've ever read

she wanted to really focus on the political commentary in this trilogy and there's so much going on in this trilogy it's my favorite thing ever
