76 pgs in already (!!!) and i can tell why this must be her most successful series it's very brisk and accessible so far (no like worldbuild concepts to work with - more inward-facing than outward like bones or witch king)
whew! finished murderbot. very brisk, speedy. good start! not super compelling but it's definitely a setup for more fun, so i'll give the other ones a try c:
160ish pages into the king in yellow and i'm enjoying it! i like horror vignettes - little morsels of "ooh" without too much introspection - just enough to use as a jumping-off point
12 pages left and I truly don't know what to make of this book lmao The latest tale was about some boring ass Protestant moving to France and falling for a bohemian girl who is ashamed to love him bc she fucks I guess this is true horror in the 1860s
got my librarby card c: noted a few things i may wanna pull once im done with all the things i blew my money on...but the moneyspending MUST CEASE.... (it will. just in time to ask for a bunch of books for christmas. whee)
ya! a deck of magic cards that can dispel some evil all-consuming mist in this kingdom girlie has one of the cards' essence stuck in her brain, it's feral
good god this book is so zutara-coded (affectionate) i swear i wouldve made this book my personality in high school/college lmao i'm having fun tho, it's good schlock
city of brass is rad chakraborty writes really good lady protags, nahri is a fun mc im 313 pgs thru and enjoying the setup a lot my homie nahri just wants to steal shit, beset by djinn trifles and blood feuds smh
then king in yellow bc spooky season
it's very brisk and accessible so far (no like worldbuild concepts to work with - more inward-facing than outward like bones or witch king)
