We are two weeks into the month of September now. I think this might be a reasonable amount of time for some readers to have completed this book if they started early this month. At least I finished it last week. I’ll leave this thread pinned for the rest of the month and next weekend I’ll create the poll for the next book of the month. That poll will end on the last day of the month and the cycle will continue.

Feel free to include as many spoilers as you want in your comments as the post itself is marked as containing spoilers.

I’m hoping someone else could get started or else I will have to. 😅

    Waste of time. Protagonist was paper-thin shallow, no character development, the “I’m a coward” twist at the end was uninteresting because it didn’t contribute to character development. Oh, and the protagonist and MC yucking it up together 2 days after learning each others’ languages because of course 21st century American humor is universal.

      This is the first time I’ve seen someone else share my opinion on this book. After finishing it I read reviews and could hardly believe we read the same book. Would have been great as a YA novel, but fell flat big time for me.

        There are dozens of us! I think the book is enjoyable if all you’re expecting is a fun but shallow ride. If it’s been hyped up, it’s going to be disappointing. A lot of reviews treat it like the pinnacle of the genre, which is ridiculous.
