... it's not living up to the first book so far, but I still have faith! I just really don't want what C called "Jondalar's Magic Penis" to swoop in and "save" Ayla. Please no. Please.

"I can't read multiple books at once" Well, past Vendi, maybe "shouldn't" is the word that would better fit that sentence but we're here now and you're gonna have to live with it.
This is also really hecking nostalgic and I wanna rewatch Mulan and every other disney movie ever so like? Good job Liz Lim/Disney

Loving the Ayla chapters, but the Jondalar ones are falling short for me so far... just a little too sexed up and Star Trek TNG utopian for me, if you know what I mean (he's basically Cro Magnon Riker). We'll see how this goes from here

I don't understand how this story manages to keep escalating but it does and I love it.
Except the Monique parts. You just can't be interested in a mundane life when your alternative is to read about someone as all-consuming as Evelyn Hugo

I started this a few days back and then SCHOOL GOT IN THE WAY! I am anger. I am death.
...I am also obsessed with this book, have been since chapter 3 ish, and going to finish it by this weekend. Get ready for a looooooooong and detailed 5 star review.

I love this, and I can't wait to reread it the second I have Muse of Nightmares in my hands because this is definitely one of those stories you need to read back to back.

look at me reading multiple books at once.Lou is rubbing off on me <3

Wow, I forgot how much social commentary was in this...

"She's a girl. Misinterpreting and overreacting come as easily as breathing."

... is that meant to be funny?

Where's the knight's training? Where's the Jabberwock? Where's all the rest of the Alice elements?

PSA for guy authors: women don't think about being pretty/liked by a dude 100% of the time. Even when they're in love.
I still like the mc and his bff and their dynamic, but my goodness. Character development pls?
Some pacing problems have kicked in also... Wish me luck my dudes.

A little disappointed at the lack of Wonderland whimsy... I feel like that's a cornerstone of any Alice-inspired story. But, so far, it's still fun.

this is gonna be a one-sitting book

Edge of the World 2.5/5
Not my favorite. Took me a while to get through and I think the plot was the weakest of the stories so far, esp with the deus ex machina ending
BUT it expanded the Witcher world well/organically and introduced Dandelion, who I think will be important later (he's also a good foil to Geralt).
What's the fairytale?
I like the format of the book a lot, with the stories weaving into the main plot.
