I do appreciate the authors note in the end for trying to make this as a readable light novel by combining multiple manga chapters so that it would read as a good first intro to this world building and this series. Unfortunately for me it seemed better to have visuals of the reactions and everything so it was more like a middle school novel and would be better watched as an anime or read as a manga.

so personally, I found the audiobook was very unhelpful about telling me how many books in compilation this had I immediately noticed halfway through the book. So I began looking for Patricia Briggs own website for short stories and their names it there, but doesn’t really go into detail which ones which and how many pages and everything so I went on Kindle and then cross referenced it to defined that there were so many details anthropology the first one this book that was mentioned in I’m like no I’m going to treat it as separate ones. That way it’ll be easier. I will probably delete it later since I am a librarian. This is just my easier way of like entering it into the system and then hopefully it will more organized I’ll ask manager or really well seasoned librarian here on this app to help me deal with the information because I don’t know how to deal with it and I’m too tired right now. But I also borrowed the Kindle version of the blind date with a werewolf, and it does stay all the things that I’m naming here on it in the acknowledgments and the credits page in the beginning of the book. I just don’t know how to enter that proof yet.
so much about bugs and spiders. I tried speeding through and ong does it go into too many details. It was interesting but then it just… died off into boring and repetitive too many details but not even solving or progressing I’m so sad and disappointed. First book since I’ve rediscovered and fell in love with these authors.
My version of a book synopsis without spoiling too much:
Set in the early 1960s, a probably autistic female lead is one of the most brilliant scientists who goes through life until tragedy strikes, and she must continue amid many plot twists. As the past reveals (way too late in my opinion), buried secrets that can shake her world again.
My version of a summary that doesn't spoil too much:
A dystopia of set colors dictation system that divides beings into unfair roles and hierarchy. A sci-fi rebel series that starts with this book. Contains lots of high-tech and presented in a smart male lead where he actually overthinks things through and so many plot twists that each time you go. NO WAY DID THAT HAPPEN. -my opinion
A very unassuming slice-of-life book that revolves around serious topics such as death, abandonment, and other things but it feels so light and fun in the beginning. As it progresses the book shows its deep thoughts and feelings, and I was too caught up in the tide to even think of going back to the surface. I loved how it played out. But it is not a very dramatic book so it's told in a slow pace. If that is not your thing I don't recommend this to you. But if you're ever in the mood for an emotional rollercoaster or heart strings being tugged this is a great book for that.
It was hard for me to continue in the beginning. But the banter that starts and ensues in this entire book is rather fascinating and perfectly enjoyable. I loved how it did not shy away from dark elements. So much ANGST and the feels that come as several waves that make you feel so raw. The middle and ending truly saved this book for me however since the beginning was hard for me to continue its a 4.3 for me.
I was really not into this book because it was different from what I originally imagined so I read about 90% of it and enjoyed it but didn't get back to it until a year later. After taking an ethnicity, all of these information is so important andgiven in fun way. I admire that about the book. So I'll reread it one day. This to,e the actually book so I can see the history lay out instead of just listening to the voices which was cool because they had guest stars but imagining it doesn't really work well with me. I recommend this to anyone who is interested in Asian American history or want to be more knowledgeable about the topic.
Incredibly descriptive and slow beginning. Lots of setting up the world building. But it does make everything make sense and has no question on what could this book contains possibly mean. It began to pick up 75% on the way of the book and boy did it pick up. Every single sentence was enticing me to keep reading And I pulled all nighter of course just finish the book because I couldn't stop anywhere to pick up. I had to know to know. I recommend listening to the audiobook or doing something while you read the book up until the 75% mark where you actually have to pay attention, and if a slow book is not your type and monsters or creepy things are not your type don't read it. I did really enjoy the action parts and the endings so I think it was worth a while.
Not my type of book. Reminds me of gossip girl. And while I liked that show mainly for its fashion, I've realized that I have moved on from high school drama books. I'm more into older age groups in general. But there is suspense, suspicion, drama, and conflict in every chapter. If that's what you're into. You will have a blast.
