This was okay but I feel like this is easily forgettable.

I went into this basically blind after being told this was like the Hunger Games. I get the comparison but I was expecting something else because of it. I don’t care for a modern setting out of literary or romance so that didn’t help either. This is one of the few books where I would say absolutely look up the trigger warnings before you go into it.

Listened to the audiobook and I have to say the announcer in the beginning sounds kind of like Dexter from Dexter’s Laboratory.

Fuck. I’ve been crying for like 20 minutes and now have a migraine because of it. Rating is idk I need to let it sit but at least a 4. Achilles was a prideful piece of shit though. The amount of times I was annoyed with this man.

Critique wise this is 3 stars but emotionally it’s 4.

My enjoyment went down with this volume but I think it’s due to the gap between this volume and the ninth.

A easy Halloween themed read following a close group of friends as they travel through time trying to save one of their friends. I loved their friendship and the Halloween back drop.

This was a disappointment. I don’t know what I was expecting going into this but it wasn’t what I received. Nice premise but I wish someone else had written it.

This duology is so fucking good. And I have now grown to love the characters, plot and world.
