Had to DNF because I simply got too busy and would like to read the entire trilogy during the winter months... Will get back to it then!

Plan to come back to this at some point, just fell out of it during busy times.

I can't read a book this long with a writing style that makes me grind my teeth 😭

This book is a bit too heavy for me to tackle while in between therapists. Definitely coming back to it though!

DNF at 8%, one of the quickest DNFs I've had in a minute. Maybe I'll give it another chance, but the countless ellipses and cringe beginning really might be too much for me.

I don't have the brainpower for something like this right now lol, but I will get back to it in the future!

I keep getting pulled back to SSC. There's something there, but I just cannot stand how one dimensional the FMCs seem and how quickly the books just devolve into full-blown erotica. I would say this is the last try for me, but who knows?

DNF at 37%

I really wanted to like this book with all of the wonderful things I've heard about it, but it just wasn't clicking for me. I love the diversity and representation in the book, I just found myself not really caring about the characters or the plot -- maybe that's because I just didn't get where the story was going? But I felt I was at the climax or "a climax" of the book and still just didn't care and had to really force myself to push through it. I took a couple month break from reading and I think my disinterest in this book put me into a real slump, so I just decided not to pick it back up. There are definitely a lot of good things here and I see why people like it, I just wasn't into it myself!
