Sunday book confessions time. This is the space where I admit my reading sins, the impulsive book grabs, the emotional damage I absolutely signed up for, and the moments when I swore I’d read something light and did the exact opposite. No judgments here, just honest thoughts from a reader who keeps chasing stories that wreck her heart, steal her sleep, and somehow still feel completely worth it.

Sunday Confessions #341
This one just didn’t quite hit for me. The story itself is interesting, and there are moments where T. Kingfisher’s signature ideas shine through, but I never felt fully pulled into the world the way I usually am with her books.
I kept waiting for that immersive spark, the point where everything clicks and the story takes over, and it never fully arrived. It’s not a bad read by any means, just one that didn’t leave the same impression as her other work.
A solid but underwhelming read for me, earning three stars.
14/250 2026 Reading Challenge
At the end of the day, my reading life is clearly powered by emotion. I’m drawn to stories that hurt, heal, surprise me, or quietly linger long after I’ve closed the book. Some reads completely wreck me, others miss the mark, and a few land somewhere in between, but every one of them adds to the bigger picture of why I love reading in the first place. These confessions aren’t about perfection or ratings, they’re about the experience, the feelings, and the reminder that even the books that don’t fully work still shape the reader I’m becoming.
