Michael Smith is 25% done with Fullmetal Alchemist, Vol. 11
Fullmetal Alchemist may not be my usual read (this year saw me embrace manga for the first time, with this and Berserk), but it's not stopped it from being a major highlight of my reading year.

Okay I'm so hooked on this series. This is the best book yet! Fancy a combination of The Walking Dead, The Stand and 24? Look no further.

Okay so this book is a lot of chat, a lot of REPETITIVE chat. I know this was the first book Goodkind ever self published, but that still is no excuse for the state this book is in, especially as it eventually became traditionally published. Why was this not edited professionally?

However, I'm greatly enjoying this story for what it is. There is a great book buried somewhere in this massive tome.

Goodkind gets a lot of hate, and I won't argue that some of it is more than well deserved.

But I still have fond memories of his books when I read them around twenty years ago. So here I am, starting his series over with a prequel I have never read before. And you know what? I really like it so far. Clunky prose aside, I'm enjoying this story.

Cassandra Clare is the only author aside from Robin Hobb who has me crying like a waterfall at the slightest event, happy or sad.

Alec could walk into the bathroom, find the toilet seat down, and I'd be like OH MY GOD THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL, MAGNUS REMEMBERED 😭😭😭

I have been reading this book since January. You'd think that's a sign of a bad book.

In all honesty, I've been quite emotional nearly every page of this book. It just breaks me. I plan to finish this tonight. It's divine.

I am so far enjoying this book more than the one before it. That book felt like a lot of set up, and was quite chaotic. This following book is only helping strengthen the previous, that's how good the plotting and writing is. This is a series I can imagine loving more second time around.

I have no idea why I am into my eighth month of reading this book. Every time I pick it up, I am immediately sucked in and I love it.

Trouble is, I put it down, it's easy to forget.

Eugh.

I love Cassandra Clare and I am loving this book. I guess that is enough reason to not rush it.
