I guess Gaiman is just not for me. He makes me fall asleep even when I’m interested in the story 😅

Everything I read was alright. I expect a book of that size to have a lot of build-up, so I’m not complaining about it being too slow. And I liked the characters and the premises and the world building. But I had a hard time taking anything Sanderson’s written seriously after I found out he’s a Mormon. 😂

I was so disappointed reading this after the great 3rd book. It was just … messy and boring at the same time. Maybe I’ll try the 5th book sometime. Maybe not. It has no priority right now at least. 🤷🏼♂️

It was just too slow and, even though I got through the slow beginning of The Dresden Files, I don’t feel like repeating that so soon after. I might continue sometime in the future though.

After weeks and weeks of struggling to make progress, I decided to give up on this book now. It wasn’t bad through and through, but it just never took off and the characters were too stereotypical for my taste. But it was a good Swedish exercise! 😁
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

Despite the many fancy words, I liked Nabokov’s writing. It’s pretty interesting how he manages to make Humbert seem so civilised, considering, well, the story of this book. 😆
But I decided I’d had enough after about a quarter in and read a summary instead. I didn’t hate it, but there was no reason for me to continue. 🤷🏼♂️

It was sooo meh! But Come With Me was so good, I’m so disappointed! 😭

It started well. And then it was just boring.
