>Also it’s actually three books, you just have them in one volume. Take them one book at a time. The second is the best.

Thats part of the problem i think its a paperback book which i dont agree with anyway but ontop of that it just looks so long as its the three books combined. Im looking at hardback copys and they are mega money too. I wanted to read these because of the song the drowning man, im a big music person and i thought it was such a beutiful song. That and the fact i love gothic literature and poetry and the setting sounds so beutiful. I really want to start but am straggling with it.

I know some people would be appalled, but unless it’s a book you want to keep forever, tearing it into three (or more!) parts is NOT a sin! 😁

Not sure my dad who brought it me for Christmas would be too happy, i totally get book art but i really dont like damaging or using books like that unless the book is already damanged beyond repair. Just personal preference!
