I read a review of this book that said it was just all lists. And that just killed it for me cause once it was pointed out I couldn’t I see it :(

I just couldn’t get into the writing style, it felt everything was just getting told to me rather than shown.

Overall, I liked this book. Sometimes I found the writing style just unappealing to me. Sometimes choppy.

One of those rare cases where the movie is better than the book. Gave this a reread since it’s been awhile and still didn’t capture me, but the prequels are AMAZING.
