3 / 5

It could be tighter, there was a lot of text and some POVs that I found unneeded.

Otherwise, continue looking forward to the future of this series.

Very hit and miss. Probably the least interesting book I read from Stephen King.

Almost a 5! Really good reading, great twists and avoids easy clichés. Highly recommended for any Post-Apocalyptic fans

Really great audiobook collection. Recommended if you like dark fantasy with lots of violence and gore

Nothing too special and definitely not as good as The Girl on the Train. OK

Fast-paced, good worldbuilding and great characters. Its a bit like ASoIaF but with more magic and blood.

Jumping straight into the next book

Decided to read before the upcoming adaptation premieres on AppleTV+ and I'm glad I did.
It's fast-paced and engaging, not as shallow as it may seem.
In terms of Sci-Fi, it wasn't anything exactly groundbreaking and I wouldn't mind a bit more exploration of certain topics but at the end, similarly to other books by the same author, it's very visual and I'm looking forward to watching its adaptation.

“As Três Mortes de Lucas Andrade” é um livro que me surpreendeu. Normalmente, dedico-me à ficção especulativa, mas este romance provou ser um desvio gratificante.

O livro aborda temas pesados como o êxodo rural para a cidade, suicídio, bullying, abuso sexual, morte, religião e delinquência juvenil. Apesar da gravidade desses temas, a narrativa é habilmente tecida de forma a manter o leitor envolvido e emocionalmente investido.

Identifiquei-me bastante com a história de Lucas, um personagem que enfrenta mudanças drásticas e luta para se adaptar a um ambiente estranho. A sua jornada de superação, apesar das adversidades, é inspiradora. A forma como ele lida com pensamentos suicidas e as terríveis experiências pelas quais passou é retratada de maneira crua e realista.

O livro também oferece uma visão fascinante de um Portugal profundo, repleto de segredos obscuros e comportamentos medievais. Esta representação adiciona uma camada extra de profundidade à história, tornando-a ainda mais envolvente.

DNF

I found it boring and stopped midway through it

A beautifully written and engaging story, a re-imagination of the Story of Circe, a character from Greek Mythology, inspired by the Homer's epic “Odyssey”.
If you're interested in greek mythology and character-driven narratives, it's definitely worth a read.

Read this after watching the show.
The show is definitely more compelling.

What a nice surprise this was, loved listening to this.
It's the first collaboration between Brandon and Dan that I read/listen to and it was an absolute delight, hope there are more entries to the Dark One franchise.

The only thing i didn't enjoy was Sophie's character, mostly at the beginning. Found it to be too cringy and over-the-top, I almost DNF this but I'm glad I persevered as the character improved, otherwise I wouldn't have enjoyed it so much!

Don't feel unsure about the YA label it has. It's a very enjoyable read with really interesting, alien, characters and a great sequel to Skyward.

The majority of the book was a 3/5 to me, it didn't feel like a lot was happening.

The final third of the book improved and I was excited to read it until the end.

Where the first book (EotW) ended like it didn't know if a sequel would exist, this one (TGH), on the other hand, embraces the world and mythology, advances the plot, gives more character moments and has a proper ending of a book that knows it will be a series.

I'm fully engaged now and looking forward to the next one, “The Dragon Reborn” (TDH).

Benefits from Brandon Sanderson's pacing. Interesting read on a sci-fi universe that has potential

Interesting

It keeps getting better and weirder :)

A short story with a character that's a lot of fun to follow. This was a short but interesting sight into an area of the world that is not covered in the main books.

I was very surprised as most references to the book mentioned it was the first one and not as good.. well, it was great! I loved the pace and setting...

What a journey!
Jumping from Mistborn Era 1 to Era 2 was weird at the beginning. A different Era, different characters and a different tone. The beginning didn't feel as epic (i knew it would be hard to top). However, reading was fast and addictive, I very quickly read books 4, 5 and 6 and it was definitely worth it.
Once again, great characters. To be honest, even better than Era1 - more mature maybe?
All in all, I'm happy I stuck with it an read the first 3 books in Era2 of Mistborn (there's 1 more coming).

Epic conclusion to a brilliant trilogy.

Much better on a 2nd read. Really appreciated it much more, especially the cultural revolution context. Decided to give it another go getting ready for the Netflix show.

Did not finish. It was starting to get boring and pointless... maybe another time....

addicted.
