My pick for #FictionalTraveler for May.
bailedThis 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!
pickI reread this recently for Bookclub. I enjoyed the atmosphere and writing and the character of Fermin ❤️. However, I read it first 20 years ago, and I remember being excited and enthusiastic about it then. This time it felt a bit laborious , although it‘s still magical. It was a very different experience. I wasn‘t as blown away. It can be interesting rereading a book. 🤔
pickWell, what an interesting and immersive read!
I didn't realise it would be so fantastical and it took me a while but was definitely worth it.
Loved her journey and awakening, her sense of understanding of the world.
Plus loads of details about Ibiza.
panIt read too much like a textbook to hold my interest.
pickI loved this book. Totally not a typical read for me but it was fun and entertaining and a great story.
panThis was interesting and had some lovely thoughts about the interconnectedness of humanity and beyond. It‘s just too woo-woo for me and a tad long-winded. Not my thing, but I imagine there are others who would really love it.
