1st read: DNF 73% Reading block got the best of me, but we are picking it up again in 2023 💪🏻
2nd read: 3.75 ⭐️
Welp, after finishing the book this time around, I actually know why I DNFd it the first time.
The thing is, I LOVE how the book starts, the adventure, the characters. I really saw myself in Sky.
But after a while, I guess unconsciously I realised there was a recurring theme. Travel, action, drama and repeat. And although the drama is what kept me hooked I guess I needed a change of scenery after the third time it happened.
And don't get me wrong, this time I finished the book, and I am actually excited to see what will happen to Sky next. But buddy reading it now, gave me perspective and made me realise some stuff that the characters outshined in my first read.
This is also the author's debut novel, so I can't wait to see her improve in upcoming books!
