bailedI just can‘t do it. I‘m 120 pages in and this book is just not doing it for me. How this is the same writer as “The Woman in The Window”? I feel like I‘m just sitting here reading the most boring conversation between two people with random people peppered in and I could give not a single crap who they are. I‘m out #hailtothebail
pickMaybe I am just not quite smart enough but there were swathes of this one where I was not quite sure what was happening and crucially not sure I cared. I do know the language was beautiful - words of longing and exploration and loneliness but it still left huge gaps as a cohesive story for me. I suspect I might give it another go and find more in the language to love and maybe a better understanding of the actual time war. Low pick
bailedWhat a great premise. Unfortunately I couldn‘t get into it at all. It was so messy and disjointed I hadn‘t the energy or will to bother so I bailed.
bailedI really wanted to love this book, but for whatever reason it didn‘t strike a cord with me. Maybe I‘m not in the right frame of mind. But it looks like I borrowed this book from the library once before and returned it. And I‘m doing that again. If you read this and you love the book, that‘s fabulous.
bailedMeh didn't finish it. Boring story and didn't like the graphics. I hope the show will be better than the story in this book. Basically it's about this knight who wants to enter a jousting tournament and thinks he's going to win. He also befriends and gets a helper called “Egg“.
bailedI am bailing on this, at least for now. Stories told in the second person need to satisfy a very specific mood for me. I can see what the author is trying to do and how epic a love story it could be, but it isn't hitting the spot. Plus, the "Alice" pov suggests a direction I don't care to go when trying to settle into a love story.
bailedI‘m certain this will be unpopular, but I just bailed on this book. I‘m really only mentioning it because it‘s my #bookspin book this month. I just found it so slow and boring… to the point that I‘m not looking forward to listening to it in the car tomorrow on the way to work. I‘ll pass my library copy onto the next in line. So- DNF at 31%.
bailedDNF. This is not journalism or non-fiction nor it is actual fiction. Didn't like the author's “style“.
bailedI read the first part of this novel and decided to bail. Started another book, and started to think about this and what happened to Adina. So I gave it another chance and read another 60 p, before the final DNF.
I can‘t really explain it, but something wasn‘t working for me.

bailedI didn't finish this book due to the triggers that came from listening to this book. I really liked the sea creatures parts but not the author's memoirs about their life.
