Reader’s Note
7 out of 10
I'm quite far in and Kvothe has been at the University for approximately nine minutes of actual plot? the prose is lovely though. Dee says book two is where it falls apart so maybe I've accidentally done the right thing by stopping.

Kvothe is insufferable and the prose is gorgeous and both are true at once. the Chandrian bits are a ten and the university bits are a six and it averages out. we are not getting book three, are we? I have accepted it. mostly.8 out of 10@hollowknightfan99

only about a third in but oh, this is doing something to me. the pigs. I keep putting it down to think and then picking it straight back up again, which is really not how I usually am9 out of 10Circe
Reasons to Stay Alive reviewed by @three_chapters_in
read half of it in one go in the bath, which is maybe not the ideal setting for it. it's kind, is the thing. I've already lent it to my flatmate without finishing, which probably tells you everything.8 out of 10Reasons to Stay Alive
Mistborn reviewed by @three_chapters_in
genuinely might finish this one? I'm nearly at the end, which for me is unheard of. Vin is great. and the magic system makes actual sense, which I did not expect from a book with this many made-up words in it9 out of 10Mistborn
