I also read this super weird fast-paced sci-fi book! it was like a movie. it’s set in future south africa and has robots, demigods, and too much to explain in one post lol. it was quick and fun!

reread of the first two books is done 😎 I had so much fun and will probably keep a slow reread of the rest of the series going through the year. maybe this time I won’t get too scared and will actually read cryoburn

update I put this one down too 😭 I might come back to it later, but it was getting too instalovey (I have a lower tolerance for this than average so you may not be bothered at all) and some of the dialogue was making me frown from being annoyed at it
started reading the blighted stars by megan e o’keefe and so far this is so so so good

read 25% of king’s dragon and it’s not bad at all, but I’m not feeling in love with it like I want to be. setting it aside for now and looking for something to get obsessed with instead

king’s dragon is good enough to keep reading it!
so far I’d say I like it, not love it, but there’s some interesting stuff happening so I want to see where it will go

truly don’t know what to read next and I have 0 books in progress. going to try out a few and see if I get interested enough to keep going.
first book to try is king’s dragon by kate elliott 👀 it’s the first in a series so fingers crossed I like it

also just finished the favorites, which felt like reading a really long gossipy article about figure skating while also thinking about wuthering heights
(in a fun way, I think)

this was really good!! the chapters felt almost like essays about different aspects of white feminism and how they harm women of color. the author combines historical context and modern day examples nicely to explain her main points. highly recommend to anyone but especially to other white women!

reading update:
I had to pause reading nuclear war: a scenario due to the General State of This Week Causing Anxiety
as my new nonfiction read I picked up white tears/brown scars by ruby hamad
and for a little fantasy break I started reading the favorites by layne fargo

navola mini review
🤩 the world and plot were complex and very political, the pacing kept me turning the pages (it escalated as the book went on)
🙂 the characters were messy and complicated
😬 it was a little crass for my taste, and it was right at the limit of my violence tolerance
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
