I can really relate to what you said about not guessing mysteries! I am also totally here to let the story take me along. In middle school I remember reading assigned books and being assigned worksheets that said, "what do you think will happen next?" and I remember always hating that question.
Omg Lex from The 100 takes me back lol… I wasn’t a huge Clarke/Lex shipper cause I loved Bellarke but DAMN Lex’s ending was truly awful Spear Cuts Through Water didn’t 100% work for me but it’s so masterfully crafted that I love seeing people gush about it! It’s so underrated and it’s a tragedy it didn’t win all the awards.
They made so many truly awful decisions in that show, especially as a Bellamy fan. ☠️ I’m genuinely shocked that Spear wasn’t showered with nominations last year. Genuinely.
@@ChantaalReads seriously, every time I saw awards announced last year I kept being disappointed when it wasn't mentioned. Like I love Legends & Lattes but there was no good reason for that to get nominated for every award instead of Spear! Spear was nominated for the Ursula K Le Guin prize but didn't win. Literature Science Alliance really enjoyed the winner and Spear so it least it seems to have lost to a worthy winner!
@@zixaz00 Ooh yeah I watch her too and the winner last year is on my TBR! At least I know I can lean toward the Ursula K LeGuin awards as a benchmark for some good and interesting nominations. The Hugo and Nebula nominations this year have not been doing it for me.

@@ChantaalReads agreed! I definitely plan on reading Arboreality as well. I'm looking forward to seeing the nominees for the Le Guin awards this year!
