NOS4A2 by Joe Hill
Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.

I really wanted to like this book, I really did.
It started well, idea was good and I enjoyed Joe Hill's other two books I've read.
But alas, I was disappointed.
Some of the characters felt really icky, I mean yes it's a horror book but..
And around when Vic met Lou I started to have doubts that I would not finish this.
Joe Hill was so focused on telling us how fat Lou was and how his dad was fat and it was just Jesus Fuck. I counted that on one page the word "fat" was mentioned like 5 times..
(I don't understand how it's added only as "minor" CW by the users here 😒🤔
Good idea, some good characters but poor writing couldn't save.
I got to 51%, final nail in the coffin was when Manx killed the poor doggie 🤬ðŸ˜

I've been following the hype of this book series and I finally got curious enough to pick it up.
I had heard so many amazing things and how it's so spicy and all that.
I got to the first spicier scene and almost snoozed 😂
The writing was a little, I don't know the best way to describe it. Like the writer was telling you a scene, rather than describing and letting you use your imagination if that makes sense.
Characters were also very little going on with them personality wise.
But all in all, it wasn't that bad. I'm told the next books get better and I'm also invested on seeing more Rhysand, he was the saving grace for me. He's not a nice person but he's a lot more complex than the others.
