HERE WE ARE. The things that bothered me so much in the first book were front and center in this book and I couldn’t finish it. I was intrigued by theHERE WE ARE. The things that bothered me so much in the first book were front and center in this book and I couldn’t finish it. I was intrigued by the synopsis and wanted to find out what happened but I got to a point that I couldn’t finish. Like I said in my review of Anna, this won’t happen for everyone, but there were just things in this book that, as a Christian, made me not want to continue on. From what I’ve seen in reviews this book isn’t as good as the first so I’m just gonna google a summary and find out what happens there. 😂...more

WOAH second book I've ever DNF-d and it comes within a week of each other! I guess that first book liberated me to DNF alllll da books. I was attemptinWOAH second book I've ever DNF-d and it comes within a week of each other! I guess that first book liberated me to DNF alllll da books. I was attempting to read this for #TBRTakedown and LOOK HOW WELL THAT TURNED OUT. I probably could finish this, but I honestly have no desire to. The concept and overall story set up was so interesting, but the rest of the novel (that I read) has been a bore. The murder mystery part was slightly interesting but at this point I don't care to find out and spend my time reading this. MAYBE ANOTHER DAY maybe not probably not....more
Well, this is my first DNF book ever, which is kind of insane. I was trying to push through but at this point I'm not even halfway through and it's noWell, this is my first DNF book ever, which is kind of insane. I was trying to push through but at this point I'm not even halfway through and it's not getting better, so here we are. I can see how the story is beautiful and great to some people, but it wasn't that for me. The narrative is all out of order, which for me was really confusing, and there were a lot of British politics/class systems mentioned in passing but not explained as a major part of the story and those are things I know very little about. The stream of consciousness type of writing with no markings where someone's speech began or ended was also pretty confusing, if I put the book down I had to go back and look to see who was talking at the moment. Overall, just not for me at the moment. Maybe I'll try to reread this someday, but not anytime soon....more
