Welcome to Litsy!

Only read the third one because my library had it on audiobook. Naive characters fall for evil characters and ignore all the red flags. The Church is corrupt, gods are vindictive, humans are foolish, and the fate of the world is on 4 young adult‘s shoulders. 5/10

Such a disappointment compared with first 2 books. I DNFd this at about 70%

I loved the first 2 books but this third book for me felt so different. The pacing was off. There was too much repetition of internal monologue & descriptions. I found myself skipping ahead to see if the story moved on to more interesting things, but in the end I decided I wasn't invested enough to finish

Thanks @BookwormAHN for helping my decision to bail.

Im seriously considering bailing on this with only 30% left to go Its disappointing as I really enjoyed the first 2 books

Pacing is excruciatingly slow & theres way too much repetition of character descriptions & internal monologue

I dont think Ive ever DNFd a book this far into a series as I usually power through to find out what happens but at this stage I dont know if I care enough to persevere

Has anyone read this? Is the ending worth it?

#BookSpin and #DoubleSpin

I'm currently listening to Lirael at the moment and I'm looking forward to Blessed Monsters. So both great picks this month.

I've also started my Double Spin from last month tgat I didn't get to.

This is the conclusion to The Something Dark and Holy Trilogy. And I really wanted to enjoy it. I loved the first two but this one was way too long and the attempt at a happy ending seemed really fake 😾

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 98.

Really getting to the roots of Mount TBR. Why I haven't read this book before now is a mystery beyond my comprehension. It's by Clark Ashton Smith, one of my favourite authors, and cover art by the incomparable Pennington, but 40 years on the shelf!
The title story is a thin slice of American Gothic - nice start.

Thank you @titan_books for this beyond beautiful book for review. Just look at those black sprayed edges. 🐞

Strange Ink by Gary Kemble is a perfect read for the spooky season and comes out 9th October ready for your Halloween TBR. I‘m really excited to delve into this one. #halloweenreads #horror #fantasyhorror #newreleases #spookyreads #thriller #strangeink
