Reading “The Will of the Many.” I see why people like it. I’m a little less than thrilled with the YA academy setting but the rest is pretty good.
Listening to “Gideon the Ninth.” I understand this one’s popularity less, but it’s okay enough to try and finish it to see if there’s something I’m missing. The narrator is great but there’s something about the writing style that leaves me feeling disconnected.
Also I didn’t realize that “The Will of the Many” was YA or close enough to it. I really should not try and consume two YA novels at the same time, as I’m not really all that fond of them typically.
I really enjoyed The Will of the Many, but it was mostly because of thr world and thr mysteries, I think. I agree that the YA-y relationship stuff was less my thing, but it didn’t bother me too much.
I binged the whole Gideon series when I was sick once. I found it enjoyable to read, but I agree that I do not get the hype around it.
