The Hollow Places

Tonally and structurally very similar to [b:The Twisted Ones 42527596 The Twisted Ones T. Kingfisher https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1567950921l/42527596.SY75.jpg 58145790]. The main character voice is also almost identical. One difference is the main character here will not shut up about fanfiction. I think its a great hobby to give your main character honestly but anytime she mentioned it I felt more like the author was talking to me, especially when she goes on a half page tirade about people calling her out over “technically incest” (whatever that means) smut. I do not care but I'm not convinced anyone would think of this during a life or death situation. I'm sure whatever fanfic drama the author has or had was very annoying but please keep it away from me. (also a more minor annoyance but, how many times did the male lead mention he isn't into women out of nowhere, and how many times has the main character mentioned if he was straight they would totally have fucked in that scenario or whatever? too many.) Other than that well the best bits of the story were at the start I really enjoy the sort of “impossible space” stories. I didn't like where it went eventually, very similar to the Twisted Ones but that one saved the stuff I disliked more towards the end. It really felt like reading the lesser version of that book sadly.
