Ughhh I can't it's like watching my heart break

Oh man, Cass, I feel you. Fuck Jason.

In the middle of the book, they watch music videos on MTV. Really?

Coming back to this makes me realize how much I loved (and missed) Sarah McCarry's prose. This feels easier to move through compared to the first book so we'll see what happens.

I'm very, very late to the experience of reading this book, but I'm glad I picked it up because I've been riding a run of reading retellings of well known tales from different sources. (And I'm pushing myself to finish this and "As I Descended" by Robin Talley.)

"she has the sinking feeling the rest of the story will have Jason's name scribbled all over its pages."

You and me, Cass.

~cleaning up my currently reading~
~hardly remembering what happened in the first 20% of the book but kind of figuring it out as I go along~

review forthcoming

Maia's fucking everything up. Knowing where her & Cass's relationship goes (having read the first book) makes this So Painful.

Sarah McCarry's writing is so wonderful. It's a little light on plot, but I've never minded character-driven narratives so that doesn't bother me much. I'd compare the prose to Laini Taylor or Maggie Stiefvater, with a smidge of Francesca Lia Block flair thrown in. High praise.
