okay…this was fine ! 

it was actually very interesting and informative, but i feel like every single chapter there was an inessential lecture about a random topic that didn’t even contribute to the story. i was very pulled in the whole time, but by the end i felt like it was just a whole lot of words with a half-assed ending. overall it was like a decent read and i’m suddenly very interested in symbolism regarding religion, but i know some of this information isn’t even accurate so i’m slightly confused. 

i’d probably reread. this was pretty interesting ✅

I blitzed through this book. Definitely my favourite in the series so far.

I really enjoyed this book. I liked the code-breaking elements to it, very interesting and clever.

I’m not sure whether any of it is historically accurate but I don’t really care about that - it’s a well written book that kept me gripped all the way though.

It was meh. I know a lot of people are worked up about this book but it was honestly fine. The prose wasn't great but the premise was cool. The book's goal is to make you question your beliefs, not because they're necessarily wrong but because "we worship the gods of our fathers." How do we know what we know is true? Our ideas of religion, history, and science might be different from what is objectively true...or maybe they aren't but if we never question what we are told be others, we will never learn.
