pickI have finally finished it! The MMC and FMC are amazing. Despite it not being tagged a ‘romance‘, I think amidst all of the darkness, it is a devastatingly great romance.

so-soOk- I read to see what the hype is about but I did not love it. I think I def should have paid more attention to the trigger warnings- not much bothers me, but this was icky. Hard to get past it. It was also way too long. Ya‘ll know I love a chunkster, but this took forever to read. I stuck with it and thought it was just okay. Disappointing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Audio puzzling for a bit today 🎧 - I keep reading other books in between chapters so I‘m still on this book 😂 🫣
pickA cautious pick. Read it to see what the hype was about. Good world building and the magic system. I am not a fan of a violent romance, but I could appreciate some parts of it. But there‘s a lot of ick. My other issue with this book is it‘s too damn long. Some things became a filler, some things start to go in circles, and some things stretch out when they don‘t have to. Overall it kept me reading, and I‘m glad I‘ve given it a try. TWs are many.
bailedIt was fine…and then the author used a device after which there was no chance the story was going to recover in the way it would need to in order for that choice to work. And honestly, I didn‘t see that happening. Most likely an unpopular opinion because my daughter tells me this book is super popular but I didn‘t have enough confidence in the story to keep going. My TBR is too unruly to not put this one down and move on.
I'm still wrapping my head around how good this book truly is before writing a review. For context, I read it in 6 days, 1040 pages. My daughter introduced me to Avendell art, who has created magnificent illustrations for #Alchemised
⚠️ Warning - don't look until you've finished it or don't mind spoilers. ⚠️
It's appalling that these weren't published in the book.

#HauntedShelf Points check-in.
@Puddlejumper @CSeydel Here's my total points for team #GrimReaders ☠️
I managed to finish the tagged last night, which banked 35 hours of reading time alone. It's a strong contender for my book of the year. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Alchemised progress update—because it‘s going to take me forever, and I‘m reading other books in the meantime. This picture makes me look farther in than I am 😝 (22%), but it got really good before I had to put it away this morning!
This is dark and not for the fainthearted. To be fair, it does come with a warning in the title pages. 😱
My #HyggeHour starts early. I'm so excited to be reading this. My eldest has been raving about the #fanfic Manacled for a very long time.
A gothic doorstopper of a book makes me very happy. 🖤

My Waterstones edition of Alchemised arrived and it's SO BEAUTIFUL ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? 😱
This is exactly why I read the first few pages of a book before purchasing with works of fiction. This right here. Ugh!
This book is a legit doorstop…I can‘t remember the last time my arm got tired holding a book. 😬 I definitely blame the book, not age! 😂 It‘ll all be worth it though if it proves to be an entertaining read! 🤞
Alchemised officially came out today! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ This girl is HEFTY! 1024 pages total!
