Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk

For me, this is too slow paced, and I don't like the main character that much. I only read 28 pages but I can just tell that I probably won't enjoy this.

Despite being predictable, this was very engaging and entertaining. Reading along with a book club was fun! You don't need to be very familiar with Shakespeare to follow the plot, I've never read anything by Shakespeare and was not confused at all.

I wish I had known this was a prequel to the previous book. Even then, I still felt that this was lacking something, compared to the other books in the series. It hardly captured my attention, it felt very slow paced and took me a long time to finish despite how short it is.

I will definitely finish this sometime in the future, I just don't feel like reading it right now.

Nothin wrong with this, I'm just not in the mood for it right now. I'll come back to it eventually!

The pacing isn't great but there's lots of meaningful character development, which is really what I'm reading this series for anyway, so I liked this a lot!
