Brave New World – Aldous Huxley
The world itself is fascinating, the ideas about control, conditioning and happiness are clever and still teel relevant but god, the characters. They’re so dull and lifeless and I KNOW that’s the point but the writing was just too tedious for me.

Probably one of the greatest pieces of writing I’ve ever read.
Finished A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik, started The Silence Factory by Bridget Collins!
I finished The Knight and the Moth. Didn’t like it as much as the Shepard King series. Will also finish Alchemised by Thursday. I am enjoying it and also enjoyed Manacled when I read it.
