I am so glad there wasn't a thing on my agenda today except to finish this book! I have to admit, at just shy of the halfway point, I was really wondering why there was such love for this book. Didn't take much longer to find out! There's not much I can say that hasn't already been said except, if you're thinking of reading it--do it!!

43/80

Starting chunkster number 2 for #AllergicToChunksters

julieclair I have this one on my list, too. 3d
TheBookgeekFrau @julieclair Go into it with patience. It's not a quick read, until you reach the unputdownable point when it all comes together. I have just over 100 pages to go and a whole day to myself, I have no doubt I'll finish today. So. Good. 3d

These books are never what I expect, but it always blows my mind.
A very satisfying end to a very heart-rending journey.

Hob weaves true magic with her writing. Her poetic, imaginative prose takes you places you've never dreamt of; contiplating situation you'll never face, but truly do though her stories

👇🏼 continued 👇🏼

Enchanted_Bibliophile Going into a darker, more introspective character study with this book makes it much slower than the previous two (which were already slow) so perseverance is the name of the game. Don't try to rush, stick with it I promise you'll be glad you did. Even if it test your tolerance for grimness beyond what you think you can handle. 2w
Enchanted_Bibliophile The complexity of the character bonds is what really pulled it off for me. Nighteyes, Fool I'm looking at you.
The prolonged revenge quest got a bit much for me, but the character development I got out of it was so worth it. Understanding where Fitz came from - his physical and psychological suffering - made me understand his need for revenge.
2w
Enchanted_Bibliophile How he revenged himself in the end, O Man!
It shows just how much he's learnt and grown and it was just spectacular.

I'm gonna miss these characters, they've become a part of my heart.

This is a low pick for me. While I liked the characters, the plot didn't work for me. I get that it is fiction; however, as I have often stated, I want it to be at least a little bit believable. This story started out on a limb then just went on to be ridiculous. 3⭐️
Lots of triggers in this book. You've been warned. #Serieslove2025 #ShelfSweeper @Tove_Reads @Andrew65 #Read2025 @DieAReader #ChunksterChallenge2025 @Amiable

I‘m not sure if I love or hate the ending? Set in the mid 19th cent., this is the story of Maggie Tulliver who, were she a man, would have had the education and success she deserved. She‘s smarter than her father, who favors her, and her brother, who loves her but holds her back. Phillip is her intellectual equal. Stephan I think she‘d eventually tire of…

Amiable Excellent work! 🥳 4w
Ruthiella @Amiable Thank you! 😊 4w
mcctrish It should have been a story about a girl‘s triumph 4w

Ruthiella @mcctrish It so easily could have been that. There was space for it. 4w
eeclayton I also think Stephen would tire of her eventually, too. Once he got over the honeymoon phase, he'd may even start to blame her for lost opportunities and their situation in life. 4w
Ruthiella @eeclayton I wonder if that‘s the reason the ending is what it is…because none of the other options were good. 4w

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! So apparently I don't have very many 500s??? I can't find one anyway 😂 However, I think I own more 600s than any other number - way into applied sciences around here AKA gardening!! So I am going to grab one of those, and if I find a 500 later I'll fit it in. For Fictional Traveler I'm heading to England with Wodehouse, and my ReadorDonate pick is by Nora Roberts - Carolina Moon. I'm excited!!! 4w
Crinoline_Laphroaig #ThematicCozies I'm do another Roof Top Garden mystery by Thea Cambert. 4w
willaful Just remembered I have a nonfiction book on my Kindle already, so I'm set. 4w

Book 4 in the series and definitely better than book three. The characters were much better in this one and I felt the plot and development improved over the previous book. Not my favorite of the series but close. 3.5ish ⭐️
