I know I can read a long ass book, as I’m reading the stormlight archive but this is too much for me. I made it 9% and would have to re-read the 158 pages to remember the names and what happened.

Conversations with Monsters: On Mortality, Creativity, and Neurodivergent Survival by Charlotte Amelia Poe
3.0
Reading a book that reflects your own mind in so many ways is new to me, but I greatly appreciated this book and I’m happy I read it (I sat for over an hour to read it back to back). Would highly recommend for my fellow autistics who sometimes struggle! Or even struggled in the past like I did as it feels less lonely now.
Update: lowering my rating as I actually feel very neutral to this now? I look at it and think yeah it was impactful for a day but after that I haven’t thought much about it.

The fact that I have to wait for the final book is a crime, this was so so so good and I am so excited for what’s to come in the finale.

This is too much of a slog to get through and a tiny bit predictable, it’s disappointing as I was super excited to read this book.

The writing in this book was outstanding and so was the story of Athene and Medusa. I enjoyed how it wasn’t the typical story you’re given it was true to the history and written with a lot of respect too, I wish it didn’t have to end but I’m happy I read this as I’d like to read more of Natalie Haynes work.
