I stopped reading a few months ago. I think I’m on Chapter 3 or Part 2. In any case I liked the start of it but life got in the way and bad timing. Goal is to finish this book before 2025

The writing was not for book. HOWEVER. I want to finish the book. I think I know what my rating would be but I’ll come back to this and form my opinion after I’ve read

4.0

A decent book for writers that want to ease into the 12-week year. It’s not very different from the original 12-week year book but Ch 3-9 are the “meat” of the book while everything else is about getting you in the mindset. I appreciate seeing good real life examples on Ch 14-15

3.75

This was still an entertaining and colorful read but I felt bogged down by the many characters and side plots. I couldn’t remember or tells the difference between the pink and brown winged creatures, or who was the enemy vs not the enemy. It’s a comic but bc there are few words you have to discern these things by the illustrations and that wasn’t very helpful hence the 3 .75.

Didn't expect it to be as religious and philosophical as it was but it was very soothing to listen to, like a chain of stories.

So fun to read . The story and illustrations are breathtaking, I was drawn in (lol, pun) the whole time. The plot twist at the end was interesting to say the least (hopefully it doesn’t make the story this cliche thing)
