i’ve really wanted to get into classics so i’m starting with this book
i felt that this was very character heavy and i don’t normally go for that so it was a great change, although i would’ve wanted a but more meat on the bone.

i love the prose writing style that miller uses

a rly nice unpublished short story :)

this one is
a little
more wordy than
the last one
so i skipped a lot of it
- idk what i read

i loved the plot of this book, which was original and unpredictable.
defo #teamfroemí and i hated virgil from the start
i really want to know what happened next though, can't wait for the tv show!!
the writing was a little hard to read and pretentious but it was manageable

waiting for the book from the library

i just felt like it was too slow-paced and i didn't understand what could make it interesting so i left it. i want to come back to it though, i feel bad dnf ing it when so many good things have been said about it

wow. i got so mind fucked at the end, i’m still processing it.
i loved this book so much, i read it in under two days with a break in the middle, one of my favourites. it’s gripping from start to end and the twists and little connections all make beautiful sense but you wouldn’t see them from a mile away. 10/10 recommend.
it’s weird because both of the settings in this book are near where my childhood home is and where i live now, so it’s strangely comforting having them mentioned in the book.
spoilers?¿
i got a major “she knows” moment when she was telling him what happened and they made eye contact; if this was a movie, i know there’d be a bunch of edits of that moment on tiktok rn.

spoilers?¿
i actually did like this book but i just felt like it was a little rushed/incomplete
i wasn't able to guess who the murderer was until the later chapters, where it became more apparent
i did, however, think that the relationships in this book are a tad plain and familiar
i mean "geek girl" w the "bad boy"? mmm i think i've seen that before

i would've given it a 4 but it got me out of a reading slump so have 4.25 stars!
ugh this is such a good start to the series
i was defo confused at the start, but that's not surprising as its an otherworldly fantasy book
loved it!!
