Robotswithpersonality
Son of a Trickster | Eden Robinson

Not for me. Great writing, compelling set up for a trilogy. It didn't drag, it took the time it needed to get the reader acquainted with who and where the main character is in their life, before starting to hint at what that main character is, who they could be. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? I have no doubt that the situations described reflect troubled home lives in reality, and the complexity of the situation, still having love for people who don't treat you well, and may therefore act as a balm to those who are healing/can relate or a trigger for empathy among those lucky enough not to experience such first hand, but I have a limit when it comes to encountering this kind of darkness in fiction, and I am not willing to sign myself up for two more books in the same vein. 5mo
Robotswithpersonality 3/3 I appreciate being able to read own voices' indigenous characters, rep that is multifaceted in the people presented and how they relate to problems both within their culture and community and how they manage conflict with forces outside it. I might try something else from this author, after a break.

It genuinely is as good as people say it is yall. Took me an age to actually read it but that has nothing to do with the book and everything to do with not having enough time in the day. Despite how fantastic it was it is a rather rough read in terms of content so fair warning on that one.

I loved this so much!!! Super fitting end book to the trilogy and very much worth the read! There‘s so much stuff packed in these three books that I don‘t even know where to begin- just read and enjoy!

This is right up there with Ellen Hopkins‘ trilogy as far as making the opioid epidemic, particularly among teenagers, so very, very real. I can‘t look away, but my God, it‘s so scary, and so sad. 😭 #heroine #mindymcginnis #druguse #opioidepidemic #triggerwarnings

This is how good YAL is done. I‘m not sure I would even put it in that category- this is just a damn good read for those who want indigenous reality, indigenous unreality, a dollop of magic and then a whole bunch and for anyone who just wants a super charged great read! I‘m so happy there‘s more 😁

41 of 2021. The new girl arrives at a prestigous academy on a track scholorship. She soon becomes entangled in drama on the campus that may lead to deadly consequences. This was a quick fun read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A decent YA thriller, but I did like The Obsession much more. It was way easy to figure out the villain! It didn‘t take away any enjoyment for me though, and there were some good twists.
