I'll file this under A, Awesome!
Fast-paced and not boring, I barely put this book down.
Had me reading since page 1.
This is my first sci-fi read and boy it did not disappoint.
Looking forward to read the next 2 books ASAP

Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk
4.0
Actual rating: 4.5⭐
(I also haven't watched the film adaptation before reading)
CW: Violence and death, mental health and health issues, pornographic content.
The first rule about Fight Club is you don't talk about fight club. But ...
This is the first-ever satirical novel I've read. Being a satire novel I admit it took me a while to get hook with this book. But then amazing things happen when you don't give up!
After few chapters from the book (Chapter 6 to be exact) is when things got good and I was surprised when I read the afterword which states that the original Fight Club is a short story published in an anthology and this is the whole chapter 6!
Things that got me hooked:
✔ BRILLIANT
✔ Mind-blowing
✔ Dark
✔ Gruesome
✔ Reality depiction
✔ Self-discovery
✔ Overcoming circumstances
✔ Fuck the rich, entitled, and privileged society
IT'S NEVER ABOUT THE FIGHT, IT'S ABOUT THE RULES!

Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo

Oh my gosh! As much as I love S&B, I can't say the same for this book. I feel that it isn't important. The only important parts are in the 1st few chapters and the last 2 chapters! It does not have to be toooooooo looooooong! It's dragging (drag you to reading slump), exhausting, and I find it too hard to finish (I've already decided to DNF this if it wasn't for the 3rd book really)!
