First Comes Death by Avrah C. Baren
3.25
Thank you so much for the chance to read this!
This book was very entertaining and interesting. I really enjoyed the characters, they felt very real.
But there were some things... The dialogue was great and believable sometimes, but other times it felt very childish for adults to be speaking in that was. Another thing was that it felt very YA, which isn't a bad thing, I was just surprised when I read that there was sexual content in it. Another thing, that might be on me, is that I didn't really understand what was going on most of the time. I usually don't have much of a problem following confusing stories, but this was just hard to follow.
It definitely wasn't bad, as I said it was very fun.

This is my first time reviewing a short story collection, so i was kinda lost on how to do it. I've decided to give my overall thoughts!
This collection was very entertaining, packed with errieness and mystery. Unfortunatly many of the stories fell a bit short, they were still entertaining enough, but not incredible. Every now and again something interesting would come though!
My favorite was by far The Things We Did in the Dark by Julia Darcy. SO interesting and well written, really loved it.

What was that….
I’m a big Han kang fan and have loved all her book, but this.
I think the further I get away from it the more I can see it’s good qualities, but still wtf.

NO MUDERBOT BOOK CAN TOP THIS MASTERPIECE OF A CHARACTOR STUDY.

I was disappointed reading this after book five. This was a regular murderbot book, I still loved it obviously.
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
4.5
So nostalgic, I’ve always loved the movies, but never read the books, so I thought it was time now.
This book was a banger, wow only thing I didn’t like was the fast ending, but wow.
I tried watching the movie after reading this and had to turn it of half way through. This book is so good and I don’t understand why they changed to many things…

I give every murderbot book 5 stars for a reason. I loved this of course I did. But I find after book five nothing will ever live up to that again. This was wonderful and interesting, but nothing beats book five.
