Shadowhunter's Library > Recent Status Updates

I've got mixed feelings for this book. I mean, I am loving it of course since it's a Shadowhunters book and Malec-focused. But oh boy do I have mixed feelings I'll be sure to talk about in my review

At last, I am finally getting to the Malec side-series that I probably should have read when it came out considering I am absolute trash for this ship. But better late than never I suppose(?)

I promise I am reading my books, very slowly. But I am loving Crimson Bound and this world so much, despite how long it is taking me to get through it

After the last few books I have read have been disappointments or mediocre at best reads (not counting Sword Catcher which I am loving), I am hoping that this book is one that will love a lot. It is promising with the writing and set-up, so please Rosamund Hodge do not let me down

I swear I am getting through this book. I mean it is slow, but I am getting through it

I am currently trudging through this book, but I have to say the realization Bastien had. Seriously, Bastien? Just one look at the Lady of the Vale and you suddenly know the big plot twist of this book? With no build-up or thoughts beforehand about it?
Hm. Mkay.

I'm wondering at this point where is the plot?
I mean you could argue that it is Bastien trying to become human again, but there is very little that drives or pushes this. And it's not that this book is bad, I'm still loving Ahdieh's writing and I will finish the book. But I feel like the slow-burn book worked best for book 1 and not this one

Surprisingly I am not leaving this book totally in the dust while I am still reading Sword Catcher

Maybe someday I will eventually finish this book with how slowly I am reading it.
But a note I wanted to make is that I am more interested in Kel's storyline than Lin's. It's not that I don't like Lin's, but I don't feel nearly as invested in her plot as Kel's...even if admittedly this is a slow start to the book

Even though my progress has been slow (thanks real life), I am enjoying this book so far
