HUGE book unhaul | decluttering my bookshelves πŸ“š

Reviews38

Disliked

this is Holly Black's adult debut and I had really high hopes for it since the cruel Prince or like the folk in the air series is just incredible it's one of my favorite trilogies so when I heard that she was coming with an adult new release I was really excited so imagine my surprise when it was like one of the most disappointing reads of the year

Disliked

I remember this being really similar to a darker shade of magic but the characters weren't as strong and the pacing wasn't as good so overall I didn't really have a good experience reading this one

Disliked

I found myself again very bored and disconnected and detached from the characters and the story itself that by the time we got the plot twist at the end I wasn't really all that interested in it

Disliked

this is one of the very first cozy mystery books that I read and it was just not good it was boring but not because it's supposed to be like this slow paced type of mystery but just because the characters themselves they came off as very cartoonish
