Finished reading Immortal

 

Hey there Bookies,

I finished listening to Immortal by Sue Lynn Tan. Sadly I didn't liked this book as much as the duology that I love by her. I do like that it takes place in the same world as the duology. But there was a few more things that needed to be explained a little better in the book in order to make this book a little bit better. Maybe if she explained when this book took place compared to the duology it would have been easier to visualize. Now I have no idea what to say about this book that doesn't ruin all of the things that would reveal certain events in the book. There is an enemies to lovers feel to the beginning in the book but it eventually changes tropes after about halfway through the book. It changes after our main female character enters a cave and is presented to two different fates that she must choose from. But of course our main female character decides that she doesn't want either of them. She wants to make her own fate. That is as much as I can't comfortable say without ruining the book. If you want to know what happens, I do recommend the book to read. I really enjoyed the book, but I don't love it as much as the duology that I read from this author. The book will probably get three stars from me. I would give it three and a half stars but I can't. Either way, please go support this author because her books are pretty good and focus around Chinese Mythology that I find pretty fascinating. 

So until next time....

Listening to Immortals by Sue Lynn Tan

 

Hey there Bookies,

I'm attempting to get out of my reading slump and what better way than reading a book by the author of my absolute favorite duology. I listen to this book while I am alone in the car to pick up my mom from work or after I drop her off. I am already about the quarter of the way through and this book takes place in the same realm as the Cilestial Duology. We are following a female character who's name i know but can't spell. I don't have the physical copy to look it up either. Anyway our main female character is a weak woman who is slowly dying in the beginning. Her grandfather risks his life to give her a rare relic that the celestial queen sent him to get called the Pearl Lotus. The lotus binds itself to our main female character and cures her of all her illness. But she is to never reveal that her grandfather gave it to her. Shortly afterwards, our female character's grandfather dies of a heart condition in the presence of the celestial queen and the god of war. Making our main female character believe that they had a part in her grandfather's death. Then an interaction happens between the main female character and the god of war after he saves her from being attacked by winged creatures that somehow get past the protective barrier around the city that was placed years ago through a deal. The god of war tells the main female lead that she has a month to get settled in her new position and mourn her grandfather before he comes back to take her to present herself in front of the celestial queen. A few chapters focus on our main female character getting used to being the new ruler of her city. It explains how the ministers are trying to use her weak state to their advantage, but she doesn't tolerate it much. She isn't blind to what they are doing. Then the day where she needs to visit the Celestial Kingdom approaches. She assign rival ministers to handle issues while she is away under the supervision of her childhood friend. Then the god of war takes her to his home because something had happened at the palace of the celestial queen, delaying our female character meeting her. As we read about her stay in the god of war's home, you get hints of a romance brewing. It gives you the whole enemies to lovers trope. I stopped at the point where our female character ends up going into the forbidden southern courtyard and encounters a woman there. That's all I got so far. I am enjoying the book so far. I do plan on getting the physical copy by the time of my next post on this book so I can give names. I just can't wait to see where things play out from where I left off.

So until next time...

Comfort Me With Apples by Catherynne M. Valente

 

Hey there Bookies,

I'm trying to get back into reading or listening to audiobooks. Really I'm trying to get out of my reading slump. I picked this book because it was short. The audiobook is about two hours long and that is it. Anyway as I listened to this book, I was a little confused on what was going on. Our main female character has a perfect like that she never questioned. At least until somethings start happening that aren't normal. She finds a locked drawer, but things are never locked where she is. A brush is found that isn't hers with hair that doesn't match hers. She finds a finger bone in her knife block. She questions it but everyone just brushes it off. Because everything is perfect, there are no reasons for that. Anyway as I listened to this short book, it kind of reminds me of the story with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. This book is kind of a retelling of that story, but our female character has to be made to be perfect and happy or things will go wrong. She questions things towards the end when she meets a man who kind of feels like he resembles a snake, the animal. He talks to her and she talks to him. With this book feeling like a retelling, I can already imagine how this book is going to end. But I won't share it. The book is a good quick read but not a whole lot happens in it. I guess that is the point of being such a short book. Sadly, I just couldn't enjoy this book and I give it about two out of five stars. It's okay but it just isn't for me. 

So until next time...

Let's Get Personal #33

 Hey there Bookies,

I am in a reading slump. After finding a few duds and boring audiobooks that I just couldn't get into right now, I have pretty much stopped trying. Even graphic novels are hard for me to focus on. I think it has to do with all of my appointments going on. Which brings me to my update on my wrust injury. I am not fully functional, but i can do so much more than I could in the last six months. I just have three more appointments left and I should be good to go. I just need to remember to not fully push myself like I have a habit of doing. I just feel happy to not be stuck in a brace anymore. Anyway if you have ideas on how to get out of my slump, feel free to share.

Listened to All Systems Red By Martha Wells

 

Hello there Bookies,

Well I tried out a science fiction and I can't tell you anything about the book. Why? Because I remember absolutely nothing. This wasn't a very memorable book to me. It's short and I was able to listen to the whole thing in one day. But I can say that this book reminded me why I don't really read science fiction. I just find it boring and if there was action in this book, it wasn't very noticeable. All I remember is that someone hacked into the murder bots' system and turned them into killing machines. Why? Because they were greedy and wanted a whole planet to themselves. That is all I remember. I don't remember names of characters or what they did throughout the book. This book gets a two out of five stars from me. It's safe to say that this isn't the book for me.

Let's get personal #32

 Hello Bookies, 

It's been a while since I did one of these. A lot has happened in my personal life. My grandpa passed away shortly after Thanksgiving and my mom's cousin also passed unexpectedly shortly after Easter. So it's been an adjustment. Of course between Easter and Christmas, my mom broke her leg and I took the time to take care of her. Then when it seemed that everything was going back to normal, I fell down my porch steps messing up my right wrist. It's been a slow process of figuring out what happened and then fixing the process. Luckily, I decided to turn to audiobooks to keep me busy while I healed. With everything that was going on in my life, I lost the motivation to actually read. I like to look at this wrist injury as a way to just sit back and enjoy the words of a good book. Sadly, I have only been finding duds among the books I had. I'm even revisiting books I read so I can finally finish the series I started. ACOTAR series is one of them. I am determined to get past the third book finally. Quicksilver's sequel is on its way and I am very excited for that book to listen too. I know once the Fourth Wing series has the announcement for the fourth book, I'll have to revisit that series as well. But at least with audiobooks and this healing injury, I will get a lot of reading done.

So until next time...

Finished reading Nothing More to Tell

 

Hey there Bookies, 

I actually finished this book a while back, but due to therapy for my wrist and mental health, this post kind of went on the back burner. Anyway the book was okay. There were plenty of suspects with motives for killing the the teacher. But I will sadly have to say that you won't get the ending you expect. It's a little frustrating to say the least. Even though I enjoyed the book, I can't say I loved it. To me it was okay. It was interesting with the split point of view between Brea and Tripp, especially when Tripp was barring the weight of having found the body and what he thought. The book gets three out of five stars from me. It was okay but not for me. But it is still nice to read something other than adult. It provides a good break from all the smut the wheel suggests.

So until next time...

Listening to Nothing More to Tell by Karen M. McManus

 

Hey Bookies,

Well the wheel has finally picked something that isn't romance or smut. Instead we got a YA mystery thriller. Well I think it's a mystery thriller. Anyway this book has different views, which is good because you get different points of view through the mystery. The mystery being who killed the teacher last school year. At least I think that was the time line. It's hard to keep track when you keep getting interrupted. The ones we follow most is Bryn, who is interning at a true crime show and they are covering the case of the teacher at Bryn's suggestion. Bryn really liked the teacher and couldn't imagine what they could have done that resulted in murder. The other point of view is Tripp. He used to be Bryn's best friend until he found the teacher with two fellow students. They were out in the woods doing a science project when they found the body. Tripp then pushed Bryn away and started hanging out with the two students who were with them. Which raises suspicion to us readers, especially when they never want to talk about it. Anyway as we get into the book, we slowly learn that the teacher might not have been as great as the students have thought. Some people believe the teacher got what he deserved. But I am only halfway through the book and Bryn's secret is out about her internship with the crime show.

Finished listening to Filthy Rich Fae

Hello Bookies,

I'm going to say it, I hated the ending of this book. Not only did it take almost the whole book to have the two main characters finally giving in to the sexual tension, but also the ending scenes could have been written better. That is just my opinion. To me it feels like the author rushed the ending because they just wanted the book to end because they were running out of ideas. That is literally what the last 20 percent of the book felt like to me. The author achieved the goal of the main characters finally giving into their desires, then didn't know where to go from there. The book was going to get a full solid three out of five stars from me, but then the ending ruined it. So the book dropped to two stars. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed the book and the storyline, but I feel like we could have taken out the romance and things would have turned out fine. Plus this book literally leaves you with so many questions. Nothing is explained at the end and it forces you to get the second book. I would have liked some of the questions answered by the end, instead I was confused and unsatisfied. 

So until next time...

Listening to Filthy Rich Fae by Geneva Lee

 

Hey there Bookies,

I am on my long road of recovery after destroying my wrist. Audiobooks are still my best friend but downside is that no one leaves me alone to actually listen to the book. Anyway I have been listening to Filthy Rich Fae and all I can describe the two thirds of the book I have gone through as just a load of sexual tension. Our main female character, Kate, is a nurse that pretty much sold her soul to save her foster brother. And the person she supposedly sold her soul was a very powerful man who owned half the city named Lockland Gage. And it turns out she literally sold her soul and was stuck in a bargain with Lock until she figured what he could get out of it. Time limit being a month. But a lot can happen in a month. Especially in an enemies to lovers trope. Of course it doesn't help when Kate thinks that Lock was using some kind of magic to make her attracted to him. The whole time I am listening I am sitting there thinking 'You find him attractive because you are attracted to him' and continue to listen about the never ending sexual tension. At this rate, the book will be almost over by the time they finally give in. Well at least I can say that it keeps you reading/listening to the book. I personally hate slow burns and I find them boring as hell. But at least the fantasy part of this book keeps me entertained. The romance? Not so much. I am starting to think this book is just an urban fantasy novel with a hint of romance. Maybe I will update again when I finish the book. Unless nothing continues to happen. I would really like to find a book that is more than three stars at this point. I feel like all the romantasy books have just been the same. Some dark prince getting into some agreement with a strong willed woman and they pretend to hate each other because the woman is attracted to him but she doesn't want to admit it because it goes against what she believes. We can have strong willed female characters that don't come off contradicting and kind of a spoiled brat. I am starting to think the writers are getting this whole strong female thing wrong.

So until next time...

Listened to King of Battle and Blood by Scarlett St. Clair

 

Hello Bookies, 

Still recovering from surgery here but i finished another book. We have an enemies to lovers trope. The book starts with our main female character who is named Isolde. She is a princess of a time where mortals live in fear of monsters. She gets in a fight with the commander she was having relations with and storms off back to the castle without him. On the way she runs into a monster, defeats it, and then runs into a vampire who heals her wounds. Isolde returns to the castle and realizes that she was highly attracted to the vampire she encountered. She tries to take care of things but gets interrupted by her lady in waiting. News of the blood king's arrival has been released and so Isolde does the princess thing and stands by her father's side as the blood king joins them in talks of peace. But when the blood king comes in the room, Isolde realizes that it's the vampire from before and he is asking for her to be his wife. Isolde accepts her fate and marries the blood king. She does try to kill him a few times but he still ends up consuming her in a spicy kind of way. Of course Isolde is disgusted with herself for being with the vampire king in such an intimate way. But as she learns more about the vampires, the more she learns they aren't what she was taught. Now this is the part where I struggle telling you about the book without spoiling it. Let's just say Isolde finds out she can't trust who she thought she could. Especially her father. Anyway I did enjoy the book. Can't say that loved it but I do plan on getting the second book to read. If I could, the book would get three and a half out of five, but I can't. I will have to settle with three stars out of five.

Listening to Pucking Around by Emily Rath

 

Hello Bookies,

I am a little disappointed that my library only has the digital audiobook for this book. Sure, it's convenient for me because of my injury, but it would be a pain if I wanted the actual physical book. Also it gets awkward when things get spicy and your mother shows up. Anyway this book is a 'why choose' romance. The main female character is named Rachel and she becomes the team doctor of a new hockey team. There she runs into her former one night stand and things take off from there. When I say take off, I mean this book is spicy. I literally went from mild spice to extra spicy. This book isn't any dark romance, but it does mention some kinks in a subtle way...ish. But if you really like spicy books with some intense steamy scenes, this book is probably for you. I am not much of a sports romance kind of person, but I am enjoying the book. It will probably still get three out of five stars from me. I liked it, but i didn't love it. 

So until next time...

Listened to Enemies by Tijan

 Hey Bookies, 

I am loaded up on audiobooks until I recover from my wrist surgery. The first book I listened to was Enemies by Tijan. It's a sports romance with a enemies to lovers trope. But I am thinking that the whole enemies thing was just in the main female character's head. But I can see where she was coming from. Stone's family did kind of ruin things for her family. Anyway our main female character is named Dusty. She was named after her uncle who passed too young. Anyway Dusty is trying to escape something but we don't know what yet. We have an idea due to the prologue but nothing is quite clear yet. But when she arrives to the location she found to rent online, the person who gave her the place ended up lying. Dusty shows up to the house in full party mode and she is dreading it. But she sucks it up and manages for a bit. Her stepmother likes to send her texts to encourage her to contact her childhood friend Stone, but Dusty doesn't want anything to do with him. Eventually Stone and Dusty fight over the phone that results in Dusty calling her stepmother to stop harassing Stone's family. Shortly after, Stone shows up at where Dusty lives with some news and Dusty reacts only to get into an accident. I'd give more details but that would ruin the story. Anyway Dusty is stuck living with Stone for a while because he promised her mom that he would take care of Dusty. Dusty at one point has a panic attack and for some reason that leads to her and Stone doing the dirty deed. They then somehow become enemies with benefits for a while until Dusty starts to get feelings. She breaks it off and works to earn her keep. Eventually her and Stone make amends after her secret gets out. And that is pretty much how it ends. Of course the epilogue has them happily married with a little one just to wrap up everything in s little bow. Now the book has an okay character growth with Dusty. She could have grown a little more, maybe got therapy or something that didn't involve sleeping with her childhood friend. The spicy scenes were pretty good too. Nothing to write home about. More mild than anything. If that is your vibe, this book is for you. This book gets a three out of five from me. It was okay and I did enjoy it, but I feel like there was room for improvement. 

So until next time...

Had to return some books

 Hey there Bookies, 

It's still a little hard for me to get back into ready. I am trying. But since it takes me so long to read one book, I decided to return a few with the ones that had to go back. Howl's Moving Castle is one of the books that had to go back. But I do have a copy of the book somewhere, I just need to remember where my copy is. Anyway my injury is still taking a long time to heal, which also makes me want to read anymore. You really lose motivation when you can't really do as much as you used to. Hopefully my wrist will get better, which will hopefully put me in a better mood.

So until next time...

Started reading Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones

 Hello Bookies,

This is an oldie but a goodie. Since I am trying to get back into reading after everything that has happened in my personal life lately. Injury included. One of my co-workers suggested I read this book, but she did warn me that it is nothing like the movie. As I am a quarter of the way through the book, I have notified differences already. One being how Sophie actually got into Howl's castle. So far the book is okay. It is taking a whole to read because of my focusing issues. I'm also starting to think that maybe I am just not in the right head space to actually enjoy this book. We'll see if I can get halfway.

Read Home is Where the Bodies Are by Jeneva Rose

Hey there Bookies,

We are on to the next book I read. Well listened to because I'm still injured. I seemed to have forgotten to write down when I actually stared this book, but I know it took me a few days to get through. The story is different points of view through four different characters. Beth, who is the oldest child. Nicole, who is the middle child. Michael, who is the youngest child. Then there is Laura, the mom. We start the book off with Laura on her deathbed while Beth is trying to get ahold of her two youngest siblings. She wants them to be able to say goodbye to their mom before she passed but it doesn't look like they will make it. Laura eventually passes but not before she whispers to Beth, 'Your father didn't disappear. Don't trust.' Beth is confused and decides to not tell her siblings, which makes you question why. The siblings then get reunited, meet with a lawyer they didn't know their mother had. They learn she also had a will and two bank accounts. This makes the siblings question things but figure their mom had her reasons. The siblings then goes through things in the attic and find a VHS that held a very deep secret. The video involved a little neighbor girl that went missing when they were all kids. The book then drags on as the siblings either dig into more about the neighbor girl's disappearance and arguing if they should tell anyone. The only thing, in my opinion, that kept the book going were the few chapters in the mother's point of view. It showed how much she was beginning to distrust her family. Eventually towards the end the siblings get into a big fight and go their separate ways. Beth goes into the nearby woods to look for bodies, Nicole goes to the bank to steal whatever was in the safety deposit box, and Michael go we s home. Of course, the two sisters learn the truth and the book picks up again as the truth of what really happened with the neighbor girl when they were little. The book was okay in my opinion. Not a whole lot happens and I probably expected more than what I got. The book ended up getting two out of five stars from me. I liked it but it just wasn't for me. I wished I gave the book a higher rating but the fact that it dragged on throughout the middle of the book, hurt it. The ending was good though, it had a twist you don't really expect because you are so focused on the red herring in the book.

So until next time...

Read Little Stranger by Leigh Rivers

                                                   

Hey there Bookies,

I know it's been a while. A lot of personal things have happened. Also recently I was clumsy and tore a ligament in my right wrist. So I've been adjusting to an injury that might take longer to heal than planned. Anyway, let's get talking about the books I've read during my injury started. Starting with Little Stranger.

I started reading Little Stranger by Leigh Rivers on May 9th and it only took me about 24 hours to finish it. Before I start talking about the book, I will have to say an unpopular opinion. I did not like the dynamic of the two main characters. It's not because they are adopted siblings, but due to their similar history, I felt like they were just trauma bonding. I said what I said and I am sure that once I read the second book, my feelings will be confirmed. Anyway the book starts with our two main characters, Olivia and Malichai, meeting when they were kids. I think 8 and 9.  Olivia is excited to get an older brother but Malichai isn't what she expected. Especially when he drags her away from their adopted parents and was already calling her 'his.' Early on we learn that Olivia is also adopted after being found abandoned in her home holding her younger sibling's deceased body. Their parents, who we will call Mom and Dad, are actually pretty well off as well. Mom is a judge and Dad is a well known defense attorney. Olivia is very open about her love for her parents, while Malichai is not. But early on, you can tell that Olivia and Malichia have created a co-dependent relationship with each other. Even when they get separated after Malichai kissed Olivia on the lips, they still find a way to be together to sleep at night. By the time they are 18 and 19, we learn that Malichai and Olivia have some expectations made for them that they don't want to live up to. Malichai is supposed to take over Dad's law firm while Olivia is expected to marry a rich young man that her parents have picked for her. Olivia ends up with two suitors. One suitor is named Parker and the second suitor is named Adam. Parker is the son of one of Dad's business partners. Adam became a suitor after talking to Olivia and getting attacked by Malichai for it. So in order for Malichai to not be charged, Olivia is arranged to date Adam instead. The whole book is basically Olivia denying her feelings for Malichai while their mom is being the worst. Worst being that she even paid someone to take her virginity. Eventually the book progresses to Olivia agreeing to give Malichai 'lessons' on certain topics. Or should I say actions? Either way, things are good for a while until Olivia overhears one of her cheer squad mates talking about sleeping with Malichai. Olivia gets bad, confronts Malichai, tries to leave, then gets assaulted by Malichai because pleasure will surely make her stay...Not. Father catches them, a fight takes place where the father ends up dying on the floor and Malichai pretty much takes advantage of Olivia in the chaos. Then the book skips eight years later and you find out that Malichai has been in prison for attempted murder. Olivia has been living her life, but is secretly keeping tabs on Malichai in hopes that he will save her from her planned out life. Of course, what she doesn't know is that Malichai has been spying on her with hidden cameras he installed while she was at work. Also he may have drugged all of her drinks in the house with sedatives where after she is out, he continues to take advantage of her. Yes, I know that this is a certain kink but this isn't in my opinion consensual in anyway. All because he is secretly drugging her without her knowledge. Trust me when I say that the kink could have been played out a little bit differently in this book. Just seeing how the kink is portrayed in the book makes me feel like the author didn't quite understand the kink they were going for. But that is just my opinion. Anyways, eventually Malichai kidnaps Olivia and then tortures for a weeks. Now here is an unrealistic play on when he reveals himself to Olivia...She gets mad not because he had her tied up and was torturing her. No, she was mad because he didn't come to her sooner. So sadly the book got three out of five stars from me. I didn't hate it but I also didn't love it. Will I reading the second book? I have no idea yet.

 So until next time....

Read Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust

 

Hello Bookies,

I've been working on my audiobooks. This one only took me about four days. Not by choice because of work and life, but I still got it done pretty quick. Also we are getting hit with our last snow storm of the year, so I have nothing better to do than listen to books as I do projects around the house. This book I decided to read because it is one of the books on my shelf that was given to me by one of my brothers. He thought I would like it, so don't tell him that I didn't really care for the book. I feel like this book was not for me. The book is about a girl who was cursed at a young age to be poisonous. So if she is to touch someone, they would die instantly. This girl ends up being hidden away in her palace while her twin brother rules the world. But when her brother, who is king, comes to the palace with a new guard. With this new guard, our main female character's life gets flipped upside down. She goes through half of the book looking for answers instead of  just asking her mother straight out for the truth. And then a third of it of her trying to escape from the person who captured her and took over her kingdom. Then the last third is actually the interesting part that feels like it only takes one chapter with the main female character taking back her kingdom. I don't remember much that has happened in the book, so I can't really tell you everything that has happened in the book. But feel free to check out the book and share what you felt like the book. Sadly the book gets two stars out of five from me on Goodreads.

So until next time...

Been listening to We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer

 

Hello there Bookies,

I've been working on audiobooks again. I just don't have the focus to actually read a book, so listening it is. Now this book gets crazy. I'm not sure what to tell you about it. It becomes a bit of a fever dream or the main character isn't reliable. The book starts out okay but it gets crazy as our main character falls into madness. Is it all really happening? Or, is she really going crazy? I'm about three fourths through the book and I still don't have an answer. This will probably be the only post I will do about this book because I want you to read it as well. I wouldn't say that I love this book. It's a little too slow for me. It will probably get three out of five stars. I liked it, but didn't love it. And, to think that this whole madness in this book started when a family of strangers ended up at our main character's house stating that they used to live there and wanted to look around. Then things just hit the fan and went wild. The book does have breaks in the story that I'm not sure how it relates to the story. They are like documents or interviews. I'm not sure if they are about the house or not. I think that is why I'm confused with this book as well. Maybe I'm being nice with giving this book three out of five stars. I'm sure if I really sit and think about it, this book would probably get a lower score. Who knows? Anyway I do recommend this book. It has a good story line, but I think it would be better and maybe a little bit shorter if we didn't have those breaks in the story.

So until next time....

Finished reading Tell Me What Really Happened

 Hello Bookies,

Well I finished my audiobook and I'm kind of glad that I listened to this book over actually reading it. I don't think reading the book would have given the same affect. There are a few twists and turns in the book but that is probably because we are seeing all the different points of view of four different characters. This is like their police interviews. I feel like it is pretty realistic because depending on your personality determines how you handle the interview with the police. Anyway I don't know what I can really share about this book. They do find the missing girl but she is sadly deceased. Then you are listening to the interviews as they try to figure out what happened that led to the death of this girl. I won't say what happened because I want you to read the book and find out yourself. I give this book a three out of five stars. It was a good concept and interesting. But the downside to books like this is that you are pretty much missing a few elements of the story that make it interesting. 

So until next time...

Started reading Tell Me What Really Happened by Chelsea Sedoti

 

Hello Bookies,

Sorry that I've been away for a while. Something happened in my personal life that involved a lot of readjusting and feeling lost. Now I'm getting back to into reading. I still don't have the motivation to actually read a book, so I've been doing audiobooks lately. Also the book I'm reading right now is probably best as an audiobook anyway. This book I've heard about and it's been on my TBR for a while. A group of friends goes camping and one ends up missing. The format of this book is basically just the friends going though police interviews as the police try to figure out what happened to the missing girl. Each friend also has a different background/personality. We have the best friend who is the daughter of a cop. The boyfriend who is the main suspect and everyone keeps mentioning 'the accident'. We have the best friend's brother who is huge into conspiracy theories. Then we have the quiet girl that grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. That is all we have with this book. Then your job is to listen to each of their interviews which is broken up by the way to 'tie' in their stories together, then figure out what really happened to the missing girl. I'm about a quarter of the way through the book already and I'm now sure if I like it yet. I do like the concept of the story though. It's very different.

So until next time...
