imma be so honest I’m gonna put this one down for a while. It’s fine but really not my favorite and has just been dragging for so long. I normally enjoy a slow book but I don’t even care about any of the characters so it’s just not working for me right now. I’ll update if I do finish.

I was worried I wouldn’t end up loving this when I started it but I absolutely did. It’s exciting and vaguely sickening throughout. I love Richard as the narrator because of the ways he sees the other characters.

I really enjoyed this book! The writing style really felt like a legend, which was fun and different from what I’m used to. The story itself was surprising and kept me thoroughly interested from start to finish. At its core, I think this book is about the dangers of absolute faith in any one thing, whether that’s a person or religion. It’s a really interesting theme and not one I’ve often read about to this extent.

Overall a fun read! I found the writing style to be a little clunky at times and almost none of the characters were particularly likable, but the plot was interesting and more surprising than I expected.
