You Are What You Read
Rating: 3 stars 😕 well this was a disappointment. I’ve been largely pleasantly surprised by this series. It’s surpassed all my expectations, going far darker and far more emotionally resonant than I ever thought it would. But this installment kind of just…wasn’t what I wanted? Ultimately, this book felt like two, if not three (and …

Rating: 2 stars Well that sucked. The Art The art was good…sometimes.

Rating: 3/5 stars Sort of conflicted about this one. I was flipping between 2 stars and 3 stars for the first 60% and 3 stars and 4 stars for the last 40%, so I ultimately decided to go with 3 stars. It seems most fair to how I feel. I did really want to like …
