I have just DNFd yet another debut novel that read like a first draft--often incoherently overwritten, inconsistent characters, agonising pacing. Great idea and obvious talent but in need of a brutal three-page dev letter they didn't get, so now the book will tank & the author will probably give up.

and no, none of what is going on right now leads to “better” shows - why? BECAUSE WRITERS/DIRECTORS/CREATIVES DON’T GET ENOUGH OPPORTUNITIES TO GET BETTER AT THEIR CRAFT AND CAN’T EARN ENOUGH TO STAY IN IT FOR LONG ENOUGH TO GAIN MASTERY. (10/14)

Had the absolute pleasure of reading an ARC of this one! Highly recommend for Slavic folklore enjoyers, the FMC is tenacious as hell, and it has great world building which gives a solid perspective on the nature of blood feuds.

I'm so tired of the "both sides" argument re the book Barnes & Noble is promoting. No, refusing to promote fa$cists is not censorship. No, promoting hatred and bigotry does not contribute to the conversation. It just reveals who's a bootlicker.
