The Diviners (The Diviners #1) by Libba Bray - Restarting August 20th 2021

[Tessa]

Yup, will start it just now as well :) .

[Tessa]

So, no chapters number...

The Museum of the Creepy Crawlies
(view spoiler)[So far, kinda boring, not much has happened. Evie is ok, but not that much of an interesting character. Kinda shallow if you ask me. I'm curious about Naughty John. The intro was so interesting! Then everything turned about social girls and handsome boys... bleah. (hide spoiler)]

[Tessa]

It's just the Bennington, Dear
(view spoiler)[Ok, so that was a little more interesting. The 2 old ladies must be or know about the diviners. Evie is one of them, ok, got it. Now some action please :) ? (hide spoiler)]

[Tessa]

He keeps the ghosts away
(view spoiler)[So it's getting a little more interesting, but not by much. That description of the body was pretty gruesome. (hide spoiler)]

This story reminds me a lot about "The name of the star". Just far more longer with unnecessary boring details added to it :( .

How do you find it so far Duck? :P

[Bonnie]

I am a couple of chapters in. I am hoping it gets more exciting because I am getting kind of bored.

[Tessa]

I've already read 1/3 from this and it's not getting any more interesting. And if I know miss Libra right, she usually tells a not that complex story with a lot of text. All her books are unnecessarily long....

Do you feel like finishing this Duck?

[Bonnie]

I am not sure and I am only just slightly getting into it at 100 pages (busy week). I am a bit disappointed but I think I will read a bit more to decide if I will continue.

Are you going to finish it?

[Tessa]

I'm still around 150 pages in, but I'm not reading anything new here. Stereotype characters in a stereotype ghost story. So if you're not going to read it I won't either.

[Bonnie]

I put it down. I think I would enjoy it more if I had more time to read it but I am only reading for 15 mins at time at the moment. That was disappointing. :(

[Tessa]

Ok, this is for me a DNF book. Plenty of other books are waiting in line. No need to struggle too much with a single one ^^.

[Char]

Hiyya. Can the date be changed to the 20th January please?

PS. Oh boy, I am seeing a lot of bad comments about this book. Hope I feel differently :/

[Tati]

I'm starting this a little early, I've got a few buddies clustered in the next few days and this is a big book

[Tati]

1% (view spoiler)[ What a strange thing to write: He has a cruel mouth. It makes him all the more desirable (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

6% - this has a weird writing style, not sure I'm entirely comfortable with it

[Tati]

11% (view spoiler)[ I bet this guy is that spirit from the prologue (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

56% (view spoiler)[ this is slow... And it's just interesting enough for me not to drop it.

Also, it feels like the author wants to show off all the research she did, especially in the dialogues. (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

65% (view spoiler)[ Eh, I don't think that's a 'swell idea'... (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Read about 20% of this so far, and I'm finding it pretty slow.

[Tati]

I'm at 68%, and it's not getting any faster...

[Tati]

73% (view spoiler)[ Not Theta! That's too cruel with Memphis! (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

79% - this is so sloooooooooow

[Sarah Elizabeth]

That was weird.

It is a bit odd, not sure I like it.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Tati wrote: "79% - this is so sloooooooooow"

I have a feeling this is going to be a long book!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

at 15% and I am beyond lost. Seems like when I put this book on text-to-speech I end up ignoring it.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

17% (view spoiler)[ she was bound to run into him again at some point! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Tati wrote: "79% - this is so sloooooooooow"

Really slow!

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "Tati wrote: "79% - this is so sloooooooooow"

I'm halfway, and it feels like Ive been reading it for a week. So slow!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

26% (view spoiler)[ not sure if giving him a job was the best idea. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

31% (view spoiler)[ she probably has a point, being so open about her powers will only land her in trouble. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

32% (view spoiler)[ WTF is she doing???! She can't tell a reporter all of the details of the case!! (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

26%: (The Eternal Recurrence): I really don't like Evie as a character. She's too mouthy. (view spoiler)[And Solomon's Comet is definitely going to be important to the story! (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

I'm gonna start the book as soon as I finish the next episode(s) of Doctor Who.

[Abby]

57% (Raising the Devil): (view spoiler)[Memphis and Theta are adorable. Though I'm sure people won't take too kindly to an interracial relationship like that. (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

78% (A Goodly Heritage): (view spoiler)[God these people are freaks. Why are they calling an Evie a harlot like that? (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

Finished: (view spoiler)[Evie talking to James just breaks my heart. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

City of Dreams
(view spoiler)[After a long delay, I'm back to the book and wondering when it will truly start. And what the deal with Naughty John is, who is creepy as hell. (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

Quirks wrote: "City of Dreams
[spoilers removed]"

I had the same problem. The book just drags on and you're forever wondering when you'll get to the real plot.

[Eesh]

And Death Shall Flee
(view spoiler)[*sigh*Just when I though Evie's head actually had something other than alcohol, glitter and a feather boa. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

The Wild Man of Boreno
(view spoiler)[Naughty John is making dangerous moves! And things have gotten quite interesting (even if it did take 400 pages). (hide spoiler)]
