first wrap up of 2025

But, I really dug it. It's vibey. it's like everything is foresty... So, I gave this like four out of five stars, I would say.

So, there were some elements of this that were good. There's a lot of elements of this that are basic. I don't necessarily think this is groundbreaking.

And this was just fine. The writing is really good. Like there's all of this use of language around food and culinary experiences... But the actual story just felt like it's pretty slow. the characters were like fine for me.

so yeah, I really enjoyed this. It's something that I could get a physical copy of and like reference... highly recommend this.

And so it's kind of like a cozy fantasy that has some stakes, but they're all interpersonal stakes and not like world stakes, right? and I really liked this.

So the first half great. Second half cherry pick. I was with you with the tech stuff my guy but less with you with like everything is bad.
