Thanks for this #Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView and thank you for the tag @RaeLovesToRead 😀

1. Lying Cat from the “Saga” series. Who knew a cat that only says one word could add so much poignancy to a story?! 🙀

2. I appreciate a strong supporting character, but sometimes they can hurt a story if they overshadow the lead. In the tagged book I was more interested in supporting character Snow and didn‘t enjoy the parts when she wasn‘t around as much.

RaeLovesToRead Yes! Lying cat! 😻 And Ghüs! 🦭💕 3y
DaveGreen7777 @RaeLovesToRead Hee hee, somehow I just knew you (and Pickles) would approve of me nominating Lying Cat! 😸😸 3y
RaeLovesToRead I am looking forward to when the trade paper backs for new Saga come out... but I think I will be googling the fate of my two faves before I get it. I'm not sure how much more I can take emotionally 😅 3y

DaveGreen7777 @RaeLovesToRead I hear you. As someone who read “Y The Last Man”, “Runaways” and “Ex Machina”, I know all too well how much Brian K. Vaughan loves to crush his readers very souls as the story approaches the finish line! 😭😭😭 3y
TheSpineView Great choice! Thanks for playing! 3y
RaeLovesToRead I have the first Y: The Last man... if it's going to be as emotionally crushing as Saga I'm not sure I'm ready for it haha 😬🤭 I was going to plead for Ghüs' life when I met BKV but I went all shy and just basically just wibbled 🤣 3y
Leftcoastzen Love Lying Cat! 3y
TracyReadsBooks Lying Cat is such a great choice! 2y

Mehso-so

Very mixed feelings about this book, as the first half is fascinating and powerful, while the second half is about as exciting as... well, playing a game of solitaire! The book starts out strong with an intriguing setup and an engaging cast of characters. Unfortunately, once Ren travels to the Nations of North America, the story slows down and limps along to a very anticlimactic ending.

4 stars for the first half, 2 stars for the second half
