I was looking forward to this book as I had waited a while to wait for the conclusion of the series. I love mainly everything about this book but I feel like Aelin gave up far to much and them forging the lock was a bit anti climatic. I also feel like the ending was a bit rushed and could maybe of been better if it was split into two. I did expect a death but feel like Graviel dying was a bit unnecessary, there was so many opportunities to kill someone else off!
However overall I did enjoy the book and really hope she doesn't end the series here as I would love to see what happens with the court and how Aelin rebuilt everything.

Disappointingly not Happy
I’m glad I picked this up at a Charity Shop and didn’t pay full price (I now understand why I see this a lot in Charity Shops though)
I found this to be full of surface anecdotal bites filled with colourful pages.
I was expecting a journal, with spaces for the reader to explore notes within the texts but they were few and far between.
If you are genuinely looking for a guide on how to find or discover happiness then this is not the read for you.
I’m saddened that I had bought this for many people before I read this

I watched this show last month, when it was finally put on Netflix (US). I keep bouncing between wanting to rate it a 7 or an 8. I feel like the show didn't quite live up to the hype. The weird, and frankly, unnecessary fling in it struck me as kind of off... I mean, I guess it was so the characters had more feelings towards each other? I watch a lot of films/shows, and I did kind of figure who was pulling all of the strings after the school was bombed. It had a very '24' vibe. I liked that it was a short season, and honestly, it doesn't need to be continued, it was good as a limited series.

So, I started this book around Christmas and am just now finishing it. I think that was a result not so much of the book itself - it wasn't poorly written or anything, I just kept picking up other books instead. Overall, it was a nice, fluffy, cozy mystery that I probably would have enjoyed more if I had read the whole thing at Christmastime. Yes, there were a lot of religious undertones, but I sort of expected that with a Christmas book. I would recommend this one to anyone looking for a book to get into the Chistmas mood.

★★★★ 4 Star Rating
This was quite a strange book to get into but once I did I really enjoyed it. I thought the author did a very good job at writing from the view point of an autistic boy.
This is kind of like 2 stories in one in the sense that the theme changes part way through, it flowed quite well, not perfect but it kept my interest. The diagrams were a great idea, however, occasionally I did find them a bit distracting and irritating.
This book was popping up on my GR home page quite a lot with many mixed reviews so I thought I would give it a go and borrow it from my local library. I'm glad I did!

I reread this on The Pigeonhole, and I’m glad I did. I’d only given it 2/5 the first time, and I think it was a case of reading it too quickly, and skimming over a lot of it. The Pigeonhole 10 stave format gave me the opportunity to read it properly, and I could fully appreciate how funny it was. I really enjoyed the parts where the narrator gives historical information about places on his trip along the Thames. I come from a town on the banks of the Thames, and as we know, quite often if you live in a place you know the least about it!
This is a classic for a good reason! I actually loved it 🤷🏼♀️

Okay so I think I get why people don't vibe with this book but honestly, I LOVED IT! I wrote my dissertation on CRISPR and the way that Specters work is super similar so I guess that aspect of it appealed to me. I hate Brighton but I love love love Ness but I feel like that just says a lot about me as a person. The one downfall for me was that a lot of the characters all kind of blended together and I struggled to work out who was who and who was doing what but all in all I need book two because that ending??? FRICKKKKKKK (I saw something of the sort coming, but still)
