I really enjoy the night watch and its new recruits, enjoying a silly murder mystery. Many things are lining up to be interesting after this. May be my fav book in the series so far

incredibly well done. Characters grow and change and feel. It’s so tragic. I loved the fleshed out feelings versus the game. It made the ending less tragic though still heart tugging.

My partners favorite book, and I can see why. The writing is beautiful. To be seen by this author is to be loved. The imagery is so clear and evocative, fantastical but grounded. The story is smaller and grander at the same time. The book focuses on places drenched in relationships and the complexities of both. The psychology of Gatsby is at once rare and relatable. To long for something and build a life around it, a mask, a yearning, anything desperate to be unlost. The ending took me by such complete surprise and shock. I couldn't wait to finish the story and stayed up late needing to know it's outcome. The beauty and tragedy of longing to feel known.

I guess I just love dragging out my own heartbreak 😭

I read this in high school, and I've kept my book for years. It often comes to mind when I contemplate what my favorite book is. There is something about the descriptive imagery in so many scenes, and the way the emotions are so intensely felt and described by the main character that stuck with me. The settings are vivid in my mind, the twists and pulls of emotion through her journey and how she learns new things and grows and changes, as well as those around her... It's absolutely wonderful. Heartbreaking and vivid and beautiful.
