We always love more Lift, I think if I didn’t read this I might be confused going into the third book of the stormlight archives since a good chunk of character development happens in this one, luckily it is accompanied by a great story.

Amazing world building in this book. Despite the reader learning about this world and its rules as the mystery went on, each clue or motivation never felt fabricated for the plot, rather it felt like a natural conclusion given what we were told. The Detective Duo is very unique in their abilities and their constraints.

I will admit that this might have been one of the more involved reads I have taken, nothing terrible just the first book in a while, where I had to look up some words for to make sure I understand what was being said. Always great to expand vocabulary.

Offered a new perspective on how the rich operate. Not always evil and trying to extract the most money, sometimes they just don’t care an that is just as dangerous

Fun light read, it’s never too late to chase your dreams no matter the price

I think I’m not who this book is written for. I agree with the general statement the book wants to get across. However I found myself wanting to see it challenged, which you could argue means I missed the entire point of the book!

The book is comfy, cozy, warm. It will not go any deeper than the surface.

I think “Psalm for the Wild-Built” was significantly better than “Prayer for the Crown-shy” and worth a read, it felt focused and I enjoyed seeing dex struggle with his feelings


Which I think is why “Prayer for the Crown-Shy” was so frustrating because it felt like the main duo regressed and I’m now just reading an almost worse version of what I just read
