Aight, we don't know SHIT about lungs or premature babies, which I guess is in keeping with other bits of medical ignorance

see but then it slaps me in the face with GOOD takes like ''it's ok for men to cry!'' and ''you should be able to feel vulnerable with your s.o., that's how healthy relationships should be!'' and like a fool I keep reading

every time the word ''half-breed'' appears, another part of me dies

You have got to be folding my laundry, making out with someone makes your Virgin Blood less virgin-y????? Please say sike.....

I am getting WHIPLASH because now there are quotation marks around ''men'' and talking about the sterilized cis soldier ladies like it's just their own culture that considers them '''men.''' Still a Bad Take, idek

Ohhh boyyyyy. Remember how I felt like there was an implication of "a woman who can't get pregnant isn't a real woman" in the last one? We literally...just dropped that almost word for word into the story and that's a Bad Take, holy shit. Will keep at it in the hopes that this idea gets challenged at some point, but you're on Thin Fucking Ice, book.

Ok I'm starting to see one of the many reasons why this book duology is so frustrating. Iathor is WAY TOO FREAKING NICE TO IASEN. Iasen who at best is just a shitty brother, at worst a depraved selfish criminal- I wouldn't be apprehending him sounding like I am asking him if he'd like more cream for his coffee and how man lumps. MAN UP IATHOR. I don't care if Iathor has a clerk's build- he's also officially weak.

I must be somewhat a masochist, HAD to read the second book for a few reasons. Which I'll detail in my review of the first one..
