This was an odd read to say the least. I was very confused when I finished it.

The story was very superficial. It never dove deep into any of the characters. I never felt like I knew any of them beyond the surface level.

First off, trigger warning for diet culture and eating disorders, particularly anorexia. This book deals heavily with anorexia and the toxic diet industry, so please be aware of that. I thought the book did a good job exploring these two topics. I found all the discussion on the diet industry and how it is designed to fail to be so fascinating.

This was an enchanting and unique fantasy read!

The story is described by many as Beauty and the Beast meets Howl‘s Moving Castle. I haven‘t seen Howl‘s Moving Castle so I can't comment on that. However, it does have major Beauty and the Beast vibes. As a Beauty and the Beast retelling, the story felt so refreshing because of the Polish folklore.

This book is about the 4 personality types being red, blue, green and yellow. It's an interesting read for anyone who has taken the test and knows what colour/s they are. This is also an interesting read for anyone wanting insights into how to have the best interactions and obtain the best results from people⭐⭐#thomasserikson #surroundedbyidiots #goodreads #vermillionmassmarket #thestorygraph #getlitsy #tea_sipping_bookworm #bookqueen #bookstagram

I had previously read the author‘s graphic novel, The Boy and the Man, which detailed the author‘s life and struggles recovering from his stroke. I enjoyed the graphic novel so I was excited to read his poetry collection.

This poetry collection is a poetry interpretation of the same events. I found this interpretation to be even better than the graphic novel.

Yet another interesting and informative true crime read from Robin Bowles. Very well researched and gritty all cases are told with the utmost respect for the victims. ⭐⭐⭐⭐#robinbowles #collateraldamage #truecrime #goodreads #getlitsy #thestorygraph #tea_sipping_bookworm #bookstagram #bookqueen #australiantruecrime

This book reminded me a lot of the Magnus Chase series by Rick Riordan (I‘ve never read the Percy Jackson series but I assume it‘s similar to Magnus Chase). It had that same adventurous spirit.

The world building was well done. It was easy to understand and follow. The book included a map, which also aided in comprehension.
