Alchemised

The highly anticipated release

I am going to be honest this book was a spontaneous buy from seeing friends talk about it. I was intrigued by the way they described it. I picked it up almost immediately which is rare for me when it comes to books being this anticipated. I don’t like being let down so early on.

I was struggling the first 100 or so pages. But it felt like the author was giving some backstory and information that would become necessary. It was a bit of a slow take in for me. Some alchemical stuff tends to fly over my head, so I won’t lie about the slow intake of it.

After that is when it started moving for me. I couldn’t put it down. I almost read it the entire day on Sunday. My husband asked me if I was going to give myself a break from the story. I did for maybe an hour the entire day.

Even with work yesterday I would find breaks to open it up and start reading again. I wanted to know what was going to happen next. The last three hundred or less pages were brutal for my poor heart. I was so upset by so many things that happened to seemingly great people. They didn’t deserve that.

Why are authors obsessed with breaking our reading hearts in the worst way? I wanted to reach into the book to fix so many things that could have went better. I still want to!

I am glad I read it though. I can say I did enjoy it very much and I leave you with one spoiler. A father’s love saves lives.
