pickWhile I feel like this one didn't quite live up to the first book in the series, I still enjoyed it.
The pace is significantly slower in this book, and it definitely took me longer to read, but it also brought in more history and detail, creating something really beautiful.
Overall, this was absolutely still a pick that left me more than ready to pick up the third and final book.
pickSafely in Wales and curled up listening to the rain, finished this after reading most of it in the car. It's a weak pick, the style (or the translation) didn't work for me that well, but it's an interesting set of constraints on time travel -- and how even constrained time travel can be worth it.
Here's my "distraction" bingo card after day 1 of 5!
pickI loved the characters and atmospheric setting of this suspenseful, gothic tale though at times I found the hyper-twisty mystery almost too clever.
She‘d had a doll once, with a painted-on smile, and pale hair and eyes like her own. For a long while, it had been her constant companion—a friend for tea when Alice was traveling with her papa, a confidant when she overheard her parents whispering secrets, someone who had to listen to her when no one else would.

As they ascended, retreating farther from the winding trails that marked the way to nearby villages, the world opened to him in its purest form: silent, ancient, mysterious.

Plucked out of my Little Free Library. Thanks, unknown book friend!

I found an Animorphs book in the wild (an op shop) and it was only a $1 - I knew going on a side mission between physio and work would be a good idea (I wanted the veggie pies from the deli and to see the newly renovated indie bookshop - fitting in an op shop was an added bonus)
so-soI really got into the story and characters in book 1 of this trilogy, so I raced right to book 2, and it disappointed me. The first third of this book is just fight after fight between our core group and various people, and fighting takes up a lot of the end, too. Very little is done to advance the story or characters. Really dull, and too long of a book for that! Now I don‘t know if I want to bother with book 3. 🤷🏼♀️
