˗ˏˋ OPEN BOOK CLUB ´ˎ˗ : The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennet
Added 2025-05-05 01:24:32 +0000 UTCI JUST FINISHED THIS BOOK 2 NIGHTS AGO!!!! dont read ahead if you dont want spoilers!!
to start, this book really had me hooked from the beginning just bc i was like wth is happening. its funny bc my nail lady rec’d this book to me and rated it 5 stars and the last book we read together was Mexican Gothic, which also involves murder and plants, so LOLLLLL except the difference is that this book was actually an enjoyable read!
this was SUCH a fun read imo, i dont think i’d rate it 5 stars personally but the murder mystery, the characters, and the world is all so interesting that it keeps you engaged. my fav character by far is Ana Dolabra. i just loved her quips and intelligence :) i think the dynamic between all the characters and our main character Din was honestly just really enjoyable to read. not to mention the literal science of the world is fascinating like what a cool magic system!!!!! i would probably rate this book in the 4s somewhere
WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YALLS THOUGHTS
also let’s plan to live meet in the spoiler’s community chat on FRIDAY MAY 9TH @ 1:30PM PST

I love a good murder mystery, so combined with fantasy and plants it's definitely a 5 for me. I also really liked the world and world building. It's funny how the more you read the book the easier it gets to identify what exactly will be a callback later, and I think it was done in a great way that doesn't detract from the story, but rather makes you feel smart about figuring it out
