I hated this book. I kept expecting for something to happen to make it all make sense, a big “aaahhh” moment. The ending made me feel like I wasted hours of my life for nothing

I only picked up reading again only once I focused on having fun, instead of reading what I thought I should read. And when my habit got re established, I got some pretty “quality” books under my belt, also while reading fairy smut (and fourth wing! I just started the second book :D ). Read what you enjoy, even if it isn’t Proust, or whatever is considered “quality”.
