This is a DNF for now. I do hope to come back to it, but I‘m feeling a reading slump and dense fantasy is just not working for me right now. I‘ll probably come back to this in the summer, but off the TBR for now. #hailthebail #bookspinbingo!

I started reading this with my Bible study group (years ago) and I kept telling myself I would pick it back up. It is a difficult read in which I would have to keep looking up words to even know what I was reading. With my busy life I need to be more realistic and decided to finally bail on picking this back up.

This maybe an unpopular opinion; however, I just couldn't make myself finish. Bailing at 35% read. I didn't care about the MC and the plot didn't get my attention. The whole thing felt like a slog. #HailTheBail #Read2025 @DieAReader
I was reading for #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville challenge and was excited since I enjoyed Bardugo's other books. On to better things!

TheSpineView @DieAReader Amen to better books! 2d
Gissy I haven‘t post my review yet but I didn‘t like it. It was so different of Bardugo‘s previous novels, it was not like her writing style at all. 15h

DNF @ 139 pages. Weird to say but- there‘s too much dialogue: everyone is constantly talking but it doesn‘t seem to be furthering the plot. Looking through the reviews (although mostly positive) it just seems this one may not be for me.

monalyisha It wasn‘t for me either! And then I read the Monk & Robot series and loved it so, so much! How I feel about Becky Chambers is a mystery even to me. 😅 2d
5feet.of.fury @monalyisha I‘ll have to keep that in mind! 2d

I DNF'd this after 20 pages. The first story features bestiality and rape. The second one features bdsm, veering into actual abuse and I think vampirism. I didn't find anything about these stories erotic, or well written.

Had to bail on my March #Roll100 at page 118.

Just not finding the writing style pulling me in…so I will pass it along to another home.

JackOBotts @LeahBergen - same. It fell flat and the tone didn‘t click for me. Oh well. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4d
dabbe @JackOBotts Ooh, that's an excellent hashtag, too! 🙌🏻 4d

every boy should stop reading a book as soon as he finds that he does not like it, just as you are not expected to eat more mutton than you want to eat.

I‘m just disappointed.

Susanita I tried to read it many years ago and just couldn‘t get into it. 4d
CatLass007 @Susanita I gave it a good try but just couldn‘t force myself to continue. 4d

I think there was a point that was pro women, but it was lost in all the digressions #HailTheBail #BetterBooksAhead
