Well ain’t that just the sweetest thing. This is based off of a real place called The Rivers Edge Campground here in North Georgia. It was cool seeing and hearing places I know in real life. The plot was a little slow. It needed a smidge more speed. I was very disappointed that it was a skinny surfer boy twink at bear week and not a chubby cub. I just like chubby guys ok? I want all them to be chubby. This book makes me want to open up a gay campground

Ugh. Immensely better than the last one. The plot went somewhere! Elaine’s and Perrin’s plots were the best ones

This was pretty good. I liked it. It was kinda corny sometimes. The spice was well done. The world building was great.

Eh. They used yeet unironically. So a full star taken away for that. And the plot was just… all over. The world building was kinda sloppy. They were very inspired by Dune when writing this with all the Messiah stuff. It was just. Meh. I’m dissatisfied bc I liked the tensorate series. But oh well. Will I continue? Maybe from the library but not for purchase.

Finished another Dune book. Dune:House Harkonnen was comical with how “evil” the Harkonnens are. It’s laughable. I rolled my eyes so many times at the stupid shit they did. There were some very interesting parts of it though. Duke Leto’s motivations become so much more clear and understandable in this one. Why Paul is the way he is makes more sense too. Duncan Idaho and Gurney Haleck’s friendship comes into focus. How Leto falls in love with Lady Jessica makes more sense. You learn why Raban is called “the Beast” (he strangles his father and snaps his neck) His real name is Glossu? Which is fuckin dumb. Oh, and btw when Dr. Yue diagnoses The Baron’s space AIDS you learn he is uncircumcised. So that’s… that I guess. There are a lot of really cool things that happen and a lot of really dumb things that happen in this book
