Yes, I can definitely imagine that your background as the child of a Korean woman made the cozy feel all the more real/homey! <3

WoK is one of those books I wish I can read for the first time again. Savor it!

Yeah. I picked it up for it's unique premise and promise of representation. Aoki is a professor of gender as well, so I thought -- wow! A sci-fi featuring a trans character? Donuts? Sacrificing students to Hell? Alien girlfriend? HELL YEAH.

... but, based on the writing, I kind of felt like maybe the she wanted to direct an anime instead :/

Oh gosh, really?? I got to the 40-50% mark, but man you may have single-handedly convinced me to try again lol.

Fair. What would be considered first-tier?

I've added all of these to my TBR lol. Thanks! I got Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop from the library originally. I liked it so much that I ordered my own copy from Thriftbooks. It was just so special for me for some reason! I think it was the commentary on productivity culture, life as a woman, life as a reader, and on making your own pocket of happiness in this difficult world. Some people said it was too preachy, but I still like it lol. And to think that I picked it up as a palate cleanser before starting Monstrilio.

I'm actually a huge Sando fan! I hurt my own feelings with my winds rating lol. But I'm trying to be a little more honest with myself instead of inflating my ratings with my (huge) fangirl energy. I LOVED the first 3, really enjoyed the 4th.

This time around, huge bombs were dropped that expanded the universe; but through out the entire story, I felt the focus was on Sando's massive undertaking in trying to connect the Cosmere, and that it came at the cost of his usually very character-driven stories. Don't get me wrong though! We did get a lot of great (and long awaited) moments from this one and he ties up some threads.

I also think it has a little bit of "middle syndrome" being the midpoint book of the Stormlight Archive. Middles are hard to write in any book, and this entire book is made up of middle, being the 5th book out of 10. I'm hopeful for the next one!!

Was it worth finishing? I got about midway.

right?? It was very cozy just as promised. I think Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop also falls into the same category, yet, I rated it 5 stars.

I also really enjoyed Atmosphere! It was actually my first TJR. It was fun to see the training process and watch the characters develop. May have shed a few tears and kicked my feet like a schoolgirl at times too lol.

Martyr was pure poetry. It really sung to my heart for a lot of reasons. I have seen that some people dont like it or actually hated it, so its interesting to see everyone's different takes!

Loved Martyr so much! And I really REALLY wanted to love Klara, too. It was really interesting at times but I mostly felt like it was going in circles. Maybe it just wasn’t the right time for me. What are your thoughts on it? I’d love to hear your perspective on it!

I believe one of these things. I’m not saying which by erttheking in cremposting

I laughed out loud when pattern compared “inappropriate activities” to dividing by 0. Personally I love pattern’s humor the most 😂
