The Genesis of Misery by Neon Yang
DID NOT FINISH

The way the book was described as a joan of arc retelling is true but, as a different reviewer said, i wish i hadn’t been told that

the holy stones are a very cool idea however i found Misery to be not only an unlikeable MC but also like they weren’t writtten/fleshed out before the book published. This book was a slog the whole time until I gave up and I only really perked up when Misery got the team - after that it fell off again

it’s hard to understand Misery’s actions because I feel like at the beginning I can follow along fine and her actions make sense but like halfway through it flips and suddenly you can’t even justify their impulsiveness for whatever the heck Misery is doing on any one page, it just didn’t flow well
