Bright Young Women | Jessica (Author) Knoll

Really good book. I like true crime but I wish more true crime was written like this book, centering the victims story not the killers.

Really good but really painful. This author loves to torture you. Brace while reading.

Really good book! The ending does leave me feeling a little empty inside. Such an interesting concept and the linguistic research that must have been done is pretty incredible. Audio book was good, would recommend.

I think I might like the tv show better than the book, just because I feel we get more time with the characters. The book was good but I felt unsatisfied with the ending, it felt a bit abrupt.

I went into this book with lower expectations, having strayed away from this genre as I got older. But it was actually pretty good, a lot happens, the protagonist can be pretty badass. It wasn‘t as sexual as I heard it was, if I remember correctly there was only 2 sex scenes that were pretty tame. I would recommend this book to anyone who has enjoyed this genre in the past but hasn‘t read it in awhile!

This is kinda of a boring book at first, but the more you start thinking about it, the more interesting I think it is. There has been multiple times in my everyday life where I feel like I am confronted by themes and messages in the book, it‘s been pretty eye opening.

Best wheel of time book yet? It was very exciting, a little emotional and the pace feels a lot quicker. Still some dragging points but overall good book.

May be my favourite book in the series yet! This one got very exciting at the end. Have been listening to a read along podcast that has made remembering names and plot points so much easier! Would definitely recommend to anyone struggling through this series.

Another book done in the Wheel of Time. This book left me feeling uneasy for what will happen next. Names are starting to be harder to remember should start keeping notes.

Finally got around to reading this one, really good and compelling, all the points of view you want to know what is happening. Very heavy on Viking lore. Looking forward to the next book.

Pretty good short stories. Gives you more background and world building. Should finish the series before reading this as some plot elements are continued.

One more down. Still captivating, so many people and plot threads to keep track of is exciting. The way some characters interact and think still annoys me but overall enjoyed this book. On to the next!

Finally got a hold of this book, the waitlist at the library was extensive. Thought is was really good and engaging. Some of the subject matter is really difficult to read but overall would recommend to anyone whose had a complicated relationship with family or a family member.

Really liked this book thought it was different from the fantasy I usually read, I thought ending was okay, don‘t know if I will continue the series. But overall recommend it for someone who wants some spicy fantasy with interesting characters and culture.

Good sequel to the first book! I wish we could spend a little bit more time with each of the characters to see more of how they think and feel. Ends better than the first one but still a bit of cliffhanger, can‘t wait to read the next entry in the series. Very exciting imagery, lore could definitely see this as a tv show.

Alright book 5 done, long read but lots of action. Definitely some exciting scenes that had me on the edge of my seat. Though some of the character work is painful to read. Overall a good book in the series.

Wow that was a stunningly beautiful conclusion to this trilogy. My heart was hurting and I cried multiple times but I am a bit of a sap. Definately read this series if you like family drama and modern fantasy.

This series is so engaging every time I put the book down I am thinking of what will happen next and just emersed in the world. I get so attached to the characters that reading some of things happening to them gets quite difficult, this book is straining my heart. Really love this book and am so excited to jump into the third book immediately! I will recommend this series to anyone who likes fantasy

Well I love every Sanderson book I‘ve read and this is no exception. Really engaging throughout and the last chunk of the book had me on my toes with all the excimer going on. I could definately see this getting turned into a movie one day. Which I would watch on a heartbeat.

Overall good book. I though begining was strong, middle fell off a bit for me but the ending was interesting. I think there are interesting themes explored but quite a heavy book that if your not in the mood for can not be enjoyable.

Conclusion to the trilogy. It was pretty good, I still feel the first book is the strongest entry but the rest of the series is enjoyable and made me think about a lot of things. This book has cool unique imagery that I‘m still thinking about.

Have lots of Castlevania vibes with this one. Like the sexy vampires, not a super big fan of the narrative framing device but still really good and entertaining.
