This as a weird book but I was honestly intrigued by all the different POvs and how they were connected. I also loved the weirdest of hell. Things started getting kind of too weird for me halfway through and I realized this just wasn‘t for me. #dnf

MatchlessMarie I think the corporate hell side of the story was my favorite part too. 3w
Schnoebs @MatchlessMarie it was honestly the main reason why I was reading it, also the mom‘s perspective. 3w

Idk, why I thought I would actively want to read this. I really have not found many historical books that I truly enjoy and can get invested in. Even with the fantastical subplot, I just didn‘t care. Honestly, I think this was more a peer pressure thing where I saw so many people loving the book and I gave into the hype. #dnf

I picked this up because I like the title and the author/illustrator's name, Dancing Snail💃🐌
It's a self-help book about depression and fatigue, lots of illustrations to reduce cognitive load in delivering its message. I'm not a great fan of self-help books, but it'll be interesting to see how this one comes across.

Bookwomble #DNF I try self-help books from time to time. I never take to them. It's a "me-not-you" thing, I guess. 1mo

Sad to #dnf this, but I just don‘t like it. The characters are not very engaging and just horrible things are happening to the women/female characters which I just don‘t wish to read about anymore. I think I will just jump to the Fitz & the Fool series and pass on the Rainwilds - which is generally disliked. #hailthebail

I‘m sorry. I just can‘t bring myself to read another sentence. A lot was promised, none of it was delivered.

GingerAntics Of the 12 stories, only 6 can be readily found independent of the book in any form. Of those 6, three are either misnamed or given the wrong location, and a fourth is heavily changed, to the point of being a different story. The final story is part of Epiphany celebrations in Italy and nothing new to Catholic school pupils who had creative religion teachers. 1mo
GingerAntics The “solstice” songs at the end are Christmas carols she changed some of the words to. The activities are slightly augmented Christmas traditions from around the world. She has sources, but even those don‘t come up for half the stories, so she‘s either changed them beyond recognition or combined multiple stories. 1mo

Idk, I really just lost interest in this story. I appreciated the perspective changes and honestly enjoyed Devin‘s chapters but I couldn‘t fully get behind a lot of it. It‘s insta love with fated mates and the tension in the relationship quickly went away after about a third or so into the book. I also can‘t get over how easily she accepted a lot of the situations she was put in and then also expected other characters to do the same.

I can't find myself picking up this one. I have tried for a while now. I am gonna have to #DNF. I love to hear about cults. But this cult, I don't know.. i feel like it took too long to get to it, and it wasn't “sexy“ enough? or “out there“ enough. It doesn't have to be sexy sexy, but like maybe... some shocking, not just general government sux end of the world? Anyway, #DNF

I DNFed this at 40%. I really tried but it just wasn‘t for me. It felt so relentlessly gloomy to me, which wasn‘t helped by the narrator of the audio. All of her voices sounded like variations on Eeyore.

#DNF

Susanita I actually loved this book, but I think Eeyore narration would annoy me too! 😄 2mo
AlaMich @Susanita It was a bit hard to tell the characters apart because of it. 2mo

I‘m bummed. I really wanted to enjoy this one but I think I‘m finding that I don‘t get one with angelic/biblical retellings. There were some things that I really enjoyed like the spin on the four horsemen and the languages and symbology but it didn‘t hold my attention. I felt no connection with the character and I didn‘t like how easy the magic came for some people. Sadly, I didn‘t get what the blurb made me feel I would be reading. #dnf
