This book was really well-written, and deeply detailed, almost to the point where it was exhausting. The military fantasy was well done, I loved how the world was created, but I didn't really want to root for the main character for a lot of the book. Some of it was so graphic that I had to skip ahead. I don't think I'll read future ones in the series, but it really was well done for those who might like the genre.

This book was pretty incredible. It gave me insights into the mindsets of Muslims and how they learn, argue, respect, and love their beliefs that I had not known before. It was also a really excellent look for me, as a Christian, to understand why people question it. This book was honest, funny, exciting, nerve-wracking, emotional, and engaging. I kept wanting it to go longer, and I could see re-reading it again in the future.

I really enjoyed this one! It was a fast read and had some good practical takeaways.

It made me think a lot about my teaching and management style, and also how I approach conversations and projects. I think I'll refer back to it in the future, as well.

This was a good, fairly easy read. I've been reading it alongside my management team at work and we've gotten a lot out of it. Some of it seems obvious, but there's really good practical questions to ask yourself and your team as you grow and shape your teams. I'll be coming back to this one!

The writing was poetic and I felt really drawn in at multiple points throughout the book. The story makes you think deeply about what you would do in certain situations, what you would do if time weren't an obstacle.

The ending was both satisfying and also felt like “the trailing off of a sentence,” kind of like how the author describes in the book. I wished I could learn more about Henry's contentment in the end, or what it meant for Addie to be Luc's... but overall, no major complaints. It was a really fun read. Heavy at times, but entertaining.
