I didn't actually finish this book. I read about half of it, and I can't say it was bad, exactly, but to me it was clearly missing something. I don't like how the author keeps switching between characters, and never goes in deep enough to help me connect to the characters. The excerpts from The Book only exacerbate the problem, since they are generally boring, they pull me out of the book even more and seem just a contrived way of creating info dumps.

Having said all that, I do think The readerhas its good points. The premise is interesting, and the main characters are sympathetic. The female main character is competent, which is always noteworthy. I can see why some people would like it, but it feels unfinished and young to me. (

I actually really enjoyed the world building in this novel. I did at points drag but I think that is largely because of the massive world. I did really loved the various setting we were in and also how many POV we did have. Sometimes i got a tad confused on who was who but it was interesting read. I def grew invested to most of the main characters and overall was excited about the novel. I wish I felt a little bit more invested to the the characters but I am excited for book 2! (

Ein liebevoll geschriebenes Buch mit interessanten Charakteren und einer schönen Geschichte. Ich mochte selbst den Verliebtheit-Part, welcher für mich oft in den Hintergrund rückt. Es hatte etwas vorsichtiges, zärtliches, und sind wir ehrlich. Slow-Burn ist immer noch einfach nur fantastisch. (

Ambitious. Fully realized world. Multiple narrative threads brought together well. Sometimes gets a little obvious/earnest and plot sometimes predictable. I'd like to read the next books to see if she gets better as she goes along, as Bardugo did with her first series. (

Hello. If you're reading this, then maybe you know you ought to read everything. And maybe you know you ought to read deeply. Because there's witchery in these words and a spellwork in the spine. And once you know to look for signals in the smoke, for secrets in the sea, then you understand what it is to read. This is a book. You are the reader. Look closer, there's magic here.

Once there was, and one day there will be. This is the beginning of every story.

But being smart was overrated. Being stupid and brave and curious? Now that's something stories are made of.

"It's the same with stories as it is with people," Meeks said, his brown eyes gleaming in the dwindling light of the sunset, "they get better as they get older. But not every story is remembered, and not all people grow old."
