Ending: ⭐⭐⭐

Favorite Character: Reiter

Favorite Part: Honestly? None, it wasn't memorable enough for me to have a favorite part.

Thoughts: This would've been much better had the author had a competent editor. There were so many grammar errors and punctuation errors that it was impossible to get immersed in the story. Not to mention most of the characters felt flat, and the constant bouncing around was jarring. Overall the idea was excellent, just poor execution.

Favorite Character: Elspeth

Favorite Part: When Alice does the soul trade for Peter and then finally confesses how much she loves him

Thoughts: This was a little slow in parts, hence the half start taken off the final score, but *Oh* everything else was MAGNIFICENT!!!!! What an incredible interpretation of the Afterlife, and what incredible characters!!!!! There were times where I hated Alice, but by the end I LOVED her and how she learned, and Oh she learned!!!!! Overall incredible, I love Kuang's work so so much!!!!!

Favorite Character: Jess (Jessa)

Favorite Part: When Nessie comes out of the lake but she isn't evil, just sweet!

Thoughts: This was an INCREDIBLE twist on your classic werewolf story, very imaginative and original!!! I'll definitely be reading more of Nat Cassidy's books in the future!!!

Favorite Character(s): Sam and Vida

Favorite Part: When Vida opens the present and it's a pair of yellow sneakers, like the seer had.

Thoughts: What a well written, action packed story of Nature vs. Progress!!!!! I either loved or despised the characters, with few in-betweens because they were so well written it was hard not to have very strong feelings about them!!!!! I read this as a buddy read with my mom and we both agree, this is FANTASTIC!!!!!

Favorite Character: Dr. Mensah

Favorite Part: When Dr. Mensah asked Murderbot if it wanted to join them in the crew area and it looked so horrified that she immediately was like "Or not".

Thoughts: What a delightful novella!!! It's rare to find a novella that world builds so incredibly well and has such wonderful characters at the same time!!! I really enjoyed this and once I'm more stable I plan on buying the rest of them!!!

This had so much potential but the characters (mainly Julian) just were not it.

DNF at page 128, I just don't like any of the characters and I don't care what happens to them.

This is more of a 3 1/2 stars but I'm rounding up!!!

DNF at 44%. This isn't a bad book but it's not engaging enough for me.

This is really more of a 4.5 but it was so good!!!!!!!!!!

DNF at 56%. As much as I desperately wanted to Love this, especially as someone who's also disabled (albeit in a different way), sadly the writing just wasn't there. It got to the point that I dreaded reading it. The pacing was off and there was a lot of unnecessary details. I truly did want this to be a new favorite, but unfortunately this just wasn't for me.

This was adorable, informative (especially after the actual story) and a very easy and fun read!!!!!

DNF @ pg 69

This is a decent book, however it's simply not meant for me.

Everything I've read from this author is SUCH a fucking banger!!!!!!!!!!! I absolutely adore his writing!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ngl the forced marriage part knocked a full star off of this for me. After that I just skimmed until I reached the end.

This is really more of a 3 1/2 star read, especially since I had guessed the plot twist loooong before it was revealed, but it ended really well!!!!!

It's always hard to rate anthologies because there are always stories I don't like and stories I do. However, this had way more 5 star stories than not, so I'm going with 5 stars!!!!! Especially since some of them have stuck with me

This was a liiiiiiittle slow in the middle, especially will all the back and forth. However, it doesn't deserve all of the low ratings it's gotten!!!!!! This has plenty of dark humor!!!!! I'm excited for the next book!!!!!!

This started off so strongly but got meh at about 50%. The writing isn't bad per say, but it could use some work.

This is more of a 4 1/2 star read, but I'm rounding up!!!!!!!!

It's been a couple of days since I finished this and I'm still so upset about that ending!!! @Christelle Dabos turn on your location I just wanna talk (joking, this is purely a joke)

Arguably one of her best books!!!!!!!

Well this was severely disappointing, especially because I personally had been hyped to read this. ://///

This was so disappointing!!!

OK well this is now my FAVORITE Margaret Rogerson book!!!!!!!!!!!!
