Joe Kessler is 40% done with Pennyroyal Academy (Pennyroyal Academy, #1)

This is really too far into the book to only now be explaining what the main character's whole deal is.

Pennyroyal Academy (Pennyroyal Academy, #1)

Joe Kessler is 9% done with Jade City (The Green Bone Saga, #1)

Well, this just took a turn for the juvenile. And really drives home how male-heavy the story is. Which is a shame, because the world and the mood had been really interesting me until this point. But now it feels more like it'll end up a 3-star.

Joe Kessler is 15% done with Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

This book could use a little more structure.

Joe Kessler is 28% done with The Binding

Only now are we getting a plot beyond 'confused protagonist learns how the magic works'

Joe Kessler is 76% done with Sweep: The Story of a Girl and Her Monster

"That's what it is to care for a person," Toby said. There was not even a hint of mocking in his voice. "If you're not afraid, you're not doing it right."

Joe Kessler is 75% done with The Calculating Stars (Lady Astronaut Universe, #1)

If I could finish this book before going to bed tonight, that would be ideal.

Joe Kessler is 33% done with Fool's Errand (Tawny Man, #1)

I love these characters, but I forgot HOW SLOW this book is. We're only just now leaving home and getting into the main plot.

Joe Kessler is 90% done with The Ruin of Kings (A Chorus of Dragons, #1)

Starting "Part 2" 90% of the way through your massive fantasy tome is certainly a choice.

Joe Kessler is 78% done with The Black Ice (Harry Bosch, #2; Harry Bosch Universe, #2)

OH SNAP. I think I just figured out a wicked upcoming twist. Of course, I also feel like Bosch figured it out before I did, but at least I got there before the big reveal (assuming I'm even right).

I don't care about any of these characters, though.

Joe Kessler is 4% done with A Crown of Wishes (The Star-Touched Queen, #2)

I don't remember ANY of the first book, but I feel like I didn't love it well enough to merit a reread before this one. Let's see how that goes.

"In Nikolai's experience, honesty was much like herbal tea -- something well-meaning people recommended when they were out of better options."

As expected, this is more of a Grisha sequel than a Six of Crows one, but the tone and characterization show how much Bardugo has grown as a writer over these books.
