When I finished reading this, my first thought was bravo. That word came into my mind. It is so fun.
8 GREAT Books I Read in August & September π *spoiler free reviews*
But yeah, overall a fascinating grim classic impactful short read with talking animals. And I'd recommend doing a little deep dive about the history behind it all before or after you read it.
The other was a collection of short stories called Bloodchild. And her writing style is straightforward, blunt, non-emotional even, dismissive when there's up stuff going on all around, but also just so easy to read.
This book is really good. Really messed up. Really tragic.
But yeah, I really enjoyed it all the way through. I enjoyed it so much that I bought I bought the sequel.
Overall, an impressive first book. More like bookaholic, am I right? The story might be a little predictable, but it's cute.
Just like in Song of Achilles that she wrote, I thought it was fun how there's like cameos from like Greek mythology names that you would know like Prometheus, Daedalus, Icarus, Odysseus, and Jason.
So, it is still a solid read and I would recommend it to someone, especially if you're like wanting to get out of a reading rut. It's super quick and entertaining.
I love the first book, but in this everything just goes up in scale.
This specific book is lauded as one of the best of the Stormlight Archive books and personally I think it lived up to the hype. I love the first book, but in this everything just goes up in scale.
