The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
4.0
Again, this book is among the few I actually adored back in the day.
When I read this as a teen, it made me feel empowered.
I was an outcast in some ways, and reading about Morgana's tale made me feel as if I too could take a hold of destiny... and when she consistently fails, I realizes that all humans are creatures made of trials and error, stuck in a constant wheel between dreams and reality, what they want and what they achieve.
I loved the setting.
Arturian legend has always been fascinating to me.
I liked having a different point of view, seeing the story from all the other characters around Arthur, seeing how everyone's just a pawn in twisted games between powerful men and women, priest and priestesess, christians and pagans.
I cried so many times, wheeped with the characters, felt my heart swell with rage, wrath, deception, betrayal.
It's a roller coaster.
Prepare.

The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake

Eeeeh.
I love dark academia, okay?
I was here for the vibes, the aestetic, the morally grey characters.
But where was the plot? So much talking, so little action.
Has potential, maybe the delivery just didn't hit it just as I wanted it to.

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

Again, I love the angst in this but maaaaan was it hard to keep track of all the characters and their names... how many Alexis, Alexeis and Alexander's were there? A million?
Anyways.
A classic.
One that's worth the headache.
