okay after DNFing Winter's Orbit and going through like a daylong "I just don't want to read anything" crisis, I'm going to start The Copper Crown tonight. I've seen it described as "the fae in space" and that sounds like the kind of weirdness that might make my brain happy right now.

#i grumbled about it on my personal blog but basically with Winter's Orbit there were too many worldbuilding infodumps #and too much telling and not showing when it came to characters' emotions so i just didn't Feel anything for them #I'm extraordinarily picky about romances and if I don't SUPER connect with the characters im just completely disinterested lol #also the author did the thing where she had one of the MCs be like 'i am soooo dumb pls explain how my actual planet i live on works'#which like. i don't mind a ditz character but there's a baseline of knowledge everyone has about their government runs and that guy would #DEFINITELY have known things seeing as he *is* royalty even if hes an irresponsible royal #anyway. ive been DNFing so many books lately i think I'm losing my will to start new ones which is. not great!#probably going to alter my year-end goals in December to give myself a break #thinking about reading
