  "There are references in the book like Al Anon and the Omsford family and the wish, the magic of all of this. All of these would be massive spoilers to other books in the series, so don't want to ruin them for you. So I'm really, really enjoying how layered the world building is, to be honest. So I. I am aspiring to finish book 23 to book 35 by March, but I know I won't be able to do it."

  "It is deeply conservative behaviors, to be honest, but feminist dialogue and, I mean, yeah, shoot me.

And, oh, my God, the writing, it's so repetitive. And as an editor, I ran a few checks. She repeats certain lines again and again and again throughout the books."

  "And I thought it's a satire. And the more I got into the book, I realized, oh, it's. It might be a satire. Doesn't matter whether it is, because what all the dialogue and the monologues and the explanations within the book is trying to do is.

  "But instead of going row or like, or anything of the sort, it goes chirp, chirp like a bird or meep, meep like a bird. How shocking would that be? That's what I basically encountered in a book. This book is technically a romance novel and it has a. It's. It's got elements of fantasy in it. So it's not exactly a human romance. It is. There are humans in this universe, of course."

  "I think when you keep getting information and when you only keep getting information, okay, you're not doing anything else. You're just, oh, XYZ authors publishing journey. Oh, XYZ editor's advice or this publisher's interview on YouTube or I hope you understand what I'm trying to imply here.

You're just collecting information."

  "Taking things away from books that are not so good. Hello, swell. And this is just an optimist's take on reading a book that was as advertised, not so good. We all have reading preferences and sometimes we pick up books thinking they are about one thing. But then as you read the book you discover oh no, I have been fooled. And you've. I am one of those people. I don't think I've ever DNF'd a book."
