This book was a brave step toward understanding and acceptance, especially for being published in 2012. The lines near the end at the romantic climax are annoyingly cliche but overall the book has an amazing message. The range of topics discussed in the book such as sexuality and racial identity were nearly impossible to cover during the time this book was bu

It’s an amazing book and is very interesting it’s about a really smart boy passing a series of test.

This book is one of a kind.I really recommend this book to readers who like intense books!

Thrilling and terrifying

I listened to this audiobook on Spotify after seeing universal praise for this debut epistolary novel. I thought this story of aging Sybil Van Antwerp was engaging and diverse, covering all aspects of her life and varied interactions with others. The narration was great. I can see the appeal of the tender, painful tale.

4.5??

3.5 stars. I feel torn about this book. It had a strong start introducing the brainy healer FMC and the MMC assassin who begrudgingly turns to her for a cure to an illness that is slowly sealing his fate in death. The premise has so much promise! I felt like the chemistry was under-delivered and the overarching plot felt rather underwhelming to me. I wanted more adventure and magic but instead there were brothels and boredom. I think I’ll skip future books in this romantasy series.

Funny. Especially the ghost pepper part!

Great book with lots of twist and terns.

Real streak of winning books lately, absolutely incredible work on display, the large size and gorgeous illustrations really help you get lost in the paranoid, anxious, and nothing-ness of an unproductive Sunday. Firmly planted some James Brown in my ear despite being a book--also proof that you can have a protagonist that is being incredible unlikeable from start to finish and you can still see yourself in them, or maybe just seeing yourself see yourself in them. Good stuff. Been reading lots of graphic novels that are acclaimed lately that I actually don't like so it's nice to read one that WAS actually enjoyable.
