To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods by Molly X. Chang
1.75
truly the only book i've read that reads like an outline and notes for a much more interesting book. I can tell it was a passion project of the author and that she put a lot of her own heart and soul into it, but the execution just really didn't work for me
Your Blood, My Bones by Kelly Andrew
4.0
This book was pretty good, everything was fine, except i wish i wish i wish the cat just hadn't been included. It's a personal thing/trigger for me ofc, and i didn't really know about it going into it, but i just wish the cat had been left out. Maybe Wyatt never had a cat to begin with. But reading at the end the cat curling up on you-know-who's grave to die was NOT what i needed.
Overall this was really sweet, nostalgic, and an overall great read about how everything changes, you have to let go of the past, etc. I just. Cannot handle animal death ok

A Fragile Enchantment by Allison Saft
Did not finish book. Stopped at 55%.

Allison Saft's writing is so pretty but this book is just,,,so boring. I loved a far wilder magic but this is just too meh for me. I also can't get over the fact that Niamh is basically Irish and Kit is basically British and Rosa liTERALLY SPOKE SPANISH but all the countries' names are changed like 😠idk i think i'd just rather authors that do this make it the actual countries they're based off of but add magic to it or try a little bit harder to do some creativity with the world-building rather than just taking real world events and changing names. Idk if i'm explaining it right but it really got on my nerves with this book. And it's such a shame bc the cover is so pretty and Saft's writing is so good and i truly wanted to like it but i just can't do it anymore ðŸ˜
The King's Men by Nora Sakavic
5.0
literally have never read anything before that made me feel the same way as my junior year of high school when my basketball team beat the top-ranked team in our district during the 2nd round of district tournament and then went on to win the championship and yet here i am. screaming crying throwing up. why did a sports series do this to me ðŸ˜
Out of the Darkness: The Germans, 1942-2022 by Frank Trentmann
3.0
i listened to the audiobook and keep trying to import it onto here but it keeps not working :/ anyway this was good definitely what i was looking for but man did it reiterate what i learned while studying for my international studies degree: some of this stuff can be so interesting to learn, and then some of it makes you want to shove a oencil in your eye. i was overall pleased with this though and am happy that i got to listen to all 37 hours of it
Silver in the Bone by Alexandra Bracken
3.5
i'm conflicted because the writing was objectively good but also it took me almost an hour to finish the last ~40 pages because the climax was the most boring part to me and i was really convinced i wasn't gonna read the next one when it comes out until i got to the twist at the end and now i don't know. anyway. i can at least credit this for reawakening the merlin hyperfixation
