Usually (with a few exceptions) I'm not really in for high-concept fantasy; I like stuff that's grounded more in the real world like Bartimaeus, but the writing style is intriguing and there's some great world building, although I wish there was more focus on political intrigue and less on gods.

There's been at least two jaw-dropping plot twists already though, which is wonderful.
Yeah, I feel you on the "high-concept fantasy" thing.

I'll definitely look into it then, thanks!

The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing and The Fault in Our Stars.
The latter was the type that I would hardly touch- romance is not my thing- but I decided to check it out when a good friend recommended it, and the book was surprisingly insightful, not only gushy, hopeless teenage love. One may even say that it possesses Shakespearean complexity.

Can't read realistic books about teenagers, sawry. That and no one will shut up about John Green and I am a spiteful person.

Octavian Nothing was fantastic.

Reading nothing at the moment, but a have a whole ton of new graphic novels I'm going to binge on tonight. I love having a job.

I just got to the post-end of TFioS.
I like what happens to him and how he broke down; it makes the novel more realistic rather than strong-protagonist- happily-ever-after rubbish.

Halfway through the prologue of Cucumber Quest and I have to say it is lovely. I think there is a grand total of 2 webcomics of the ones I read that I'm fully caught up on, but I'm going to try.
