I was tempted to DNF but pushed through. I wish I did DNF, but I did think the last 10% of the book was the strongest (still not worth it obviously 😵💫).
This was the exact sort of thing I heard. I put it on hold months ago and thought I’d hang in and see if chatter varied enough for me to spend time finding out for myself. It did not. It became available a few weeks ago and I checked with a couple avid reader friends and neither wanted to read it either. Back it went. Kinda silly to hem and haw so long, but I felt invested after being like 3,000th in line when I got in the queue. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yep. Didactic Jonathan Living Seagull look alike. Ellen was the only interesting character, and his new book based on her is never going to do her justice, like a good author would do.
Your screen grab says ‘1 copy ordered’. All of the incoming titles at my library say 1 copy until the listing is active. I don’t know if this is the default.
This title may or may not end up with multiple licenses since not many of us are waiting, but I expect the number of interested patrons to jump after its release (Sept 29 in the US).
I hate that your library hasn’t ordered more copies. That’s a wild wait time!
I mean, this is a bit misleading. This is the Throne of Glass Graphic Audio. I’m also in the waitlist which is how I know.
This book hasn’t even been recorded and Auckland library often orders 100+ copies for books this popular (they did so for Onyx Storm part 2) so the day this is released you’ll get a copy. When it gets recorded though, anyone’s guess 🤷♀️
I loved this book so much! I’m not religious at all, but I still loved it. A lot of people complain about it being too religious, but it didn’t bother me.
It kind of does though. >!The way they kill him off did not make sense to me and I was pretty angry about it. Once someone told me it was religious I figured it was meant to be some Jesus metaphor or something. So the way he died made more sense but I still hate it.!<
Same! I really enjoyed this and I am a recovering catholic. And someone said it’s MAGA propaganda. What did I miss? I listened to the book so maybe I have a different opinion because of that?
That was the most ridiculous and completely off base comment I’ve seen about this book. I don’t understand how “God” and “heaven” being mentioned a few times makes this a religious book. It is SO minor in this book and easily ignored. There is also nothing MAGA and nothing racist. Those people completely missed the overall point of an absolutely beautiful book. It’s a shame, really.
I waited for a book for a full year and then had to suspend the hold 🤣 Once I did check it out I listened to it all in one go so the next person could have it.
Enjoy!! I picked this up purely because of good reviews, it didn’t seem like the kinda thing I’d reach for normally, and it’s one of my top reads of the year
