Started slow but liked the magic system it implemented. Showed that war is always two sides to a coin. You can explain it away one way or another but ultimately choosing destruction.

Enjoyed the book. Fun to get out of the town they were in but then they kind of just stayed in one spot. Having not gone there doesn’t really give me nostalgia vibes but for someone that has been there at Cornell this will give them familiarity I would think.

Second read through, still good. Have a better understanding of some of the things Odd has gone through now that I’ve previously read the books.

I feel like Lewis’ way of trying to explain things went over my head for much of it. Overall I liked the book as he had some interesting points. Maybe I’ll reread it at a later time and understand it a bit more.

Inspiring message from Scovel Shinn. Can be transformative if you let it but great self improvement information. This book shows tat manifestation is possible, but I feel that you also need to be proactive in the idea so that it is both faith and actions through your way of life.

Didn’t want to read it at first but glad I did. I was too young to see the struggles my parents made when they came to the USA. This book reminded me of that.

Took a while to finish. World building was great but a bit sluggish at times as I read through it.

Took a while to finish but wow, everything Edgar Allan Poe has done in one book. I was mostly wanting to read it because I read some of his short stories in high school. What story really intrigued me was his novel The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. Reminded me of The Wager by David Grann.

Interesting read, it resonates with me with things I am doing and things I need to work on.

Liked the different perspectives of the people during the journey.

Cute feel good story. I liked it.

Great short stories with good lessons.

Good second book. Gives more information about the other friends. Coming of age story and trying to figure out who you are and who you want to be.

Fun little book to encourage fantasy and also dealing with changes of being able to open up to others and get to know them.

Good second book. < spoiler> Surprised how it tied at the end with the previous book < /spoiler> It felt immersive the way Leandro pointed out the details of things along with the world building from the author. Some heavy themes that are shown that parallels our current world which gives us hope to figure things out.

Some good ideas and information about bettering myself to in leadership. Being more courageous even though it’s uncomfortable - I feel like I know this stuff but need that encouragement to actually try it out. This is supposed to give us that encouragement but didn’t work for me at least.

Couldn’t really get into it. It just kept going no stopping. Didn’t know when she was going to stop that idea and continue with the next. Seems like it’s written like a journal where you just keep your thoughts going. Lack of chapters didn’t help either.

Re-read. Great start to the series, a few inconsistencies here and there but overall great.

A bit tense and wanting to know what would happen but didn’t really feel for the characters.

Tough book to read, but managed to get through it. Wasn’t expecting it to read into my soul but helpful in what I had to look at myself to change.

Confused at first but each story somewhat interconnected, didn’t really feel like separate stories.

Good action in this book. A little more history about them which is always a plus for me. And gotta love the positive way they deal with Coco’s apprenticeship.

Light and fun. Story is being more adventurous and meeting new people.

Ready for the adventure. Just the starting point for now, but seems to get more interesting.

The story continues. A little more background for the main characters. Very interesting.
