loving how atmospheric it is so far 🍁

and for the characters, i felt that most of them had clear “outside” motivations (moved by the story) but bit less fleshed out intrinsic motivations. so i hope to see development resulting from the events of this book and some deeper character work

(i liked Ruko’s arc though, holy sh*t)

i was mainly drawn in by how reality and mythology are interwoven in the book and def want more of that. it also takes place in a small area of a fairly large map, and ends with hinting at an expansion, so i’m hopeful for a more vivid and detailed worldbuilding 🏰

dark matter. I didn't enjoy fourth wing nor quicksilver (definitely personal preference but the characters and relationships were too immature/problematic for me). dark matter is a really well-written, unique book that will stay with you for a while.

both are on my TBR and I have this beautiful illustrated edition of Frankenstein that is becoming harder and harder to ignore 👀

depends on what kinds of books you read 🐺👀

it was the same for me! I also don’t have the danmei craving that often anymore, so it was nice to be pulled back into this genre ^_^

heh, nice.
