Don't Let the Forest In by C.G. Drews

dark emotional mysterious tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

Intense emotions, vivid imagery, poetic language, dense atmosphere, macabre descriptions, and deeply flawed yet lovable characters.

Now I need to stare at a wall for a while. And to stay away from any forest.

Also, I need to find out what else Michael Crouch narrated, peak performance, I highly recommend listening to the audiobook.

Absurdní a velmi vtipné, s povedeným překladem (mumino!), ale teda jsem ráda, že jsem to nečetla jako těhotná, těch zrůdiček se tam narodilo nějak mnoho :D

This is How You Lose the Time War by Max Gladstone, Amal El-Mohtar
Did not finish book. Stopped at 33%.

DNF at 33%. I liked the premise and hated the execution. The writing is pretentious and annoying, and the writing is, unfortunately, the main thing the book relies on.
