Aina (alarid) Finally joining the group as an official challenger!

I'll just post reviews and mid-book thoughts to make sure i follow them, and to make sure i don't miss anything for the reviews!

Reminders to self:

1. Don't be too soft on the stars!!! Don't give 5 stars to book you know you don't like that much!

2. Try to enjoy the reads! If you don't - leave it!

3. Don't be lazy and don't go crazy!

Aina (alarid) Currently reading The Priory of the Orange Tre!

Like it but it was slow at first. At first i mean for about 200-300 pages. I like it so far. 4 stars for now.

Aralaq is the coolest Ichneumon in the world!

Also plot twists.

And Saint George

Aina (alarid) Finally finished The Priory of The Orange Tree on Saturday.

Beware Spoilers

The ending was better than i expected since such long novels tend up to go down on the quality or finish so abruptly you don't have time to take all of it in.

It felt like finishing a videogame who you've been playing for a while. I gave it 4.5 Stars since the beggining was slow and confusing.

Still a really good book, loved most of it, it was amazing how every character seemed to come from a different place in the world, different nationalities and customs/religion.

I loved that it's so centered on breaking dow traditions and realizing that religion is not the sole truth, even if you believe in it, and that you have to respect other people's beliefs.

Also loved the saphic relationships and the heartbreaking/hearthealing(?) ending. I hope they reunite soon. 😢💕
