Meh. I didn't like Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell so I wasn't expecting to love this, but I wasn't even interested. It's hipster bullshit masquerading as a story with depth.

It's like Clarke eavesdropped on Morgenstern discussing The Starless Sea and she wrote her own version, but left out all of the parts that made it have meaning.

Why were all of these scenes so long? What should have been short, snappy scenes dragged on for minutes and minutes. It was unbearably stupid.

I am also so fucking tired of the trope of innocent virginal girl and ten-years-older world-traveler man.

Abandoned at 28%.

I should have known from the split infinitive in the title that the author wasn't very intelligent, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt.

I should not have. I made it through a whopping 10%, all of which was yammering speculation and 0% of which was science.

It was fun to see all of my old favorite characters again. But it does feel like an extended prologue. The stakes aren't as high as the books themselves, which makes me glad this is a graphic novel and not a novella, but I don't love the art. Everyone has these creepy oval faces and the only differentiating feature is their hair.

I know that optimism has proven effects on the brain, and that positive thinking is not bad. I get it. I'm not a complete cynic, just mostly one.

But this book is awful. To tell people that they are responsible for fixing their relationships with others seems fine -- until a domestic abuse survivor is reading this. Saying fake it til you make it seems fine -- until you interview a woman who says she cured her own cancer by watching comedy movies every day for months.

This is just so grossly irresponsible it makes me sick.

It wasn't a bad read, but Zoe is so goddamn annoying I won't be reading any more of these.

A really cool book, but I wished they'd picked some more interesting cards and didn't have so many fucking typos.

I was talking to my friend about this book and we marveled over how the first book is dollars and cents and by the third one we have dragons. This is the best one so far because you are so attached to the characters that you can't wait to see what happens next.

I'd never heard of Wild Cards before this, but it was a great introduction!
