the novelty of the horror genre wore off, and I was left with a challenge of a 1,300 page book

The second time reading this was super fun, especially since the first time I read it was around 2018 when the movies were very popular. I didn't remember much of the book since I read it so long ago (not to mention it took almost a year to read it because I knew my favorite character was going to die). Hated That Part toward the end when they're getting out of the tunnels, and also hated all the bigoted language/thought surrounding marginalized characters. Love the main seven, though, they've always had a special place in my heart.
