Molte

I like the series so far, and as usual with Sanderson's books I read the last part of the book at breakneck speed. The reason I rate this specific book low is because a mystery from the end of the last book still remains unsolved by the end of this. Some reveals early in the next book could have happened in this one, so I'd feel closer to the answer after reading a whole book. I suspect all will be forgiven after finishing the series, though.

I could recommend it based on Jess Taylor's fantastic illustrations alone, but it is also a nice YA story with a trans main character and a black disabled lesbian. I'm giving it 3,5 since I found the pacing odd, missed more empathy towards Taelyr's family, and the ending left some loose ends I'd like to see tied up, but perhaps the author was hoping to make a follow-up volume. I think it could hit bullseye for a younger reader than me. 

I read this in the summer before starting a PhD program. I've heard a lot of writing advice before, but Silvia does a good job of breaking these tips into actionable steps and leaves you feeling like you have the tools you need to write academic texts. It's an easy read, and I recommend it if you're looking for concise and straightforward tips about healthy writing habits and the process of writing academic texts.
