The Nightjar | 
pickI love a quirky read and this is one of those. Kinda a mix of V.E. Schwab‘s darker shade of magic series (alternate London‘s), Finnish mythology and this authors own creativity. I was sucked into the story right away. #readingchallenge2022
pickSo this was an odd read for me. I was totally absorbed in this for the first hundred pages. However, I had trouble focusing and connecting for the next two hundred pages. I think it‘s because we were trying to bid on a house and I was just so distracted. I got more into it again for the final hundred pages though. So I don‘t think this book had a fair shot with me. The concept was great. I love how Finnish mythology played a role too.
bailedAaaaannnnnnd it really wasn‘t good. Made it to chapter 13 and was thoroughly annoyed by the dumb, clumsy female protagonist and all the future irritation she promised, and the cringey romance I could see coming. Cool concept, terrible execution.
Had to drive 30 minutes to get this so I hope it‘s good!
