It's a testament to how insane life has been for the past year (cross country move, house flooding, deaths in the family, nerve damage, etc) that I haven't yet started on the final installment of one of my FAVORITE current fantasy series. Can't decide whether to let myself binge it or whether to savor it as a treat.

Vasily: "How I waste away, without Molly my dear by my side"
Mimi: "She's literally next door and it's only been a few hours"

The ARC has arrived in my inbox! Hooray!

the crew are cats on hot bricks and our not-so-friendly neighbourhood tech bro thinks he's the christ of the future which is pretty much par for the course with both the crew and tech bros

i love lawful good characters for exactly this reason

the stollen thickens!

"There was a moment’s silence. Then Nijam said, frostily, “Remember that you are speaking of the man I love.”"

have i mentioned that i adore nijam, especially in context?

i always really enjoy Nijam (she's still my favourite) and this book is No Exception, even tho M and V are just as ridiculous and fun as ever

welp! as predicted, all the gang are here! let the shenanigans commence!

this is all GREAT VIBES
