DID NOT FINISH: 48%

This book actually sucks so much. The dragons are the best part but even they couldn't save this lackluster disaster of a book. The characters, their relationships, the world--it was also so incredibly shallow and poorly developed.

I 'm not af familiar with poetry collections, but I really enjoyed this one. Of course, there are poems I enjoyed more than others and some poems that didn't.

Gosh, it feels like this series just gets worse and worse with each book. The romance feels pretty stale, the plot was messy and uninteresting. And the world building, which first drew me to this series, wasn't great either. It's not just that I didn't enjoy this book, but the weiting quality and pacing was substantially worse than the previous books in this series.

It wasn't the most enjoyable read but it was certainly engaging. The ending plwas particularly well done and the unease and atmosphere I felt when reading this book was well crafted by the author.
informative slow-paced

This is a topic I'm a bit interested. A very thorough investigation into sexuality and asexuality. The societal observations were thought provoking and the different narratives were unique and emphasized the different experiences of asexual people.

This was a fun graphic novel. For a while, I didn't really know where things were headed, but I enjoyed the ending at llot.

I'm definitely too old for this book, but I do still enjoy reading children's and middle grade books. This book, however, was just..okay? There seemed to be nothing outstanding or memorable about this story. And after reading about the author's background, the quality of the book diminsished even further. There are other books I'd much rather read about Indian life and culture.

There were parts of this novel I appreciated and other parts that didn't seem to fit as well. Although none of the characters were particularly likable, they were flawed enough to be interesting and create unique relationships. Many of the conversations regarding faith didn't quite seem believable from certain character perspectives.
