The one thing I miss about the 90s is cars were improving instead of deteriorating.

Looking at a newer car, 90s: well yeah I guess I would like two airbags. Seat belts front AND back? I really don't need my steering wheel to be easier to turn, but if you're offering. Cruise control would be amazing, wow, thanks.

Looking at a newer car, 20s: I just want a box that moves forwards without recording my face while it does it. Anything else is icing. Doesn't need to have seats even.

It's holding my interest so far, although I never read the first book in the series. Appreciate a good serial author who doesn't need us to read everything in order. Plus, I was always a fan of the Tamlin mythology, and was interested to see how someone treats that in novel form.

Seems like a theme is abusive relationships and how people can hurt each other due to being damaged by trauma, even when they love each other. Currently waiting for Feyre to embrace her own power, as seems inevitable. Hopefully a certain High Lord will learn a lesson or two from this.

Really wish the author would stop calling people "males" and "females" though.

Started and stopped because the author is doing too much. Too much exposition and not enough action. And the humor isn't doing it for me. A bit predictable, really.

The slow drip of dread becomes a tsunami of terror by the last few chapters. Sarah Gailey's writing of a character who is monstrous, aware of her monstrosity, and simultaneously trying to defend herself against even greater monsters all around her is fantastic.

Excellent, spare, spooky storytelling

Interesting that I just finished reading "1917" by Arthur Herman, and then started this book, which opens by setting the scene in London, 1917, at the ceremony for the signing of the Balfour declaration. Something that didn't make it into Herman's book (not that I'm complaining, he covered a lot of ground).

Woodrow Wilson was an absolute wanker and sick old men should not be presidents.

Just relentlessly violent and depressing. I didn't finish it. There's probably a teenager who found this series and it was everything they needed. That teenager has a really rough life.

big cliffhanger ending

Back in the YA section. I was taking a break, but if you're really into genre fiction (like I am in SF), it's almost unavoidable.

Anyway, the writing is good. Descriptive, blunt, to the point. I'm enjoying it so far. Giant robots FTW! Can't wait for the sapphic romance to take off.

A+ touching manga

Imagine not only getting owned this badly at a party, but also having it recorded in a bestselling book
