Finally finished this one. so many topics and very informative as you expand your knowledge on AI. Really enjoyed this one. the chapters were just enough description and overall will be a great resource for refreshing in the future.

Reread for me but I absolutely adore this book even more so with Eddie Redmayne reading it. I've always loved the creatures within the series but this book feels like a lesson personalized for you. I wish there was a book on the potions and other studies.

4.5 Stars.

What a beautiful, amazing story full of a lot of time jumps. I have never read anything from V.E. Schwab and her story telling whoa girl!? How do you do it? Its sooooo good! by midway of reading this I was frustrated with the constant going back and forth and how short some of the chapters were, but now that I've finished it I completely understand the flow now and how schwab was trying to portray the flick of memory and going back to that memory. I didn't think it needed to be separated into chapters and with how short some of the chapters were it seemed like it was merely a thought that could have been put into the previous one but it was interesting and it was definitely different than what I'm used to reading. Overall I loved it, the amount of representation of historical figures and events, the amount of locations that were filtered into this one book. I felt Henry's whole bit could have been in itself its own standing book but that ending made it all the more sense :). I finally finished it!?! WOOO! I sought, i conquered and I loved the story as a whole. well done.

I read this book a while back and what an amazing fantastic High Fantasy adventure this is. Frodo has my heart and all the hobbits within the shire. I wish I could be physically transported there but i'll accept through my book for now <3. Hands down a five star review. Hoping to reread it again soon in 2021. Hands down my all time favorite.

So I did like this book. I've read one other Ruth Ware book called in a dark dark wood and really loved that one. It felt very suspenseful just like the previous ware book I've read. I was entirely creeped out and almost stopped reading but glad I got to the end. It was very suspenseful and definitely chilling at points in the book and towards the end really gave me a flip with that twist about her mom which i will keep spoiler free in case there are those that haven't read it yet but overall pretty good. Solid 4 if there was an option to do 4.5 i would. Definitely recommend for a spooky season/autumn read.

Really had high expectations of this one and it definitely didn't disappoint. Really enjoyed this and the illustrations were beautifully done. The story overall was amazing and can't wait to pick back up the Netflix tv series now that I completed this. definitely a 5 star review. Really hit home for my fantasy interest.
