Setting my expectations low for a sequel - but it’s a duology so maybe it won’t suffer from Middle Book Syndrome

The amount these two are both suffering… I want to cry. Or maybe rage at the unfairness idk.

That man did NOT just say that.

THE SEXISM.

I thought I might explode. I want to throw some punches myself.

Preston got in a fight with the petty, infuriating blonde kid, and the employee who broke them up said to Effy

“Perhaps you shouldn’t dress like this. What do you expect to red blooded males to do? I’ve half of mine to report you too.”

EXCUSE ME????? Abso-fucking-lutely NOT.

So much they feel the need to keep from each other 🥺

His mom sent him her engagement ring
hahaha. Subtle. I think I like her.

پرستون احساس خستگی شدیدی می‌کرد. اما در این جهان هیچ راه فراری نداشت؛ هیچ درِ مخفی‌ای روی دیوار نبود که بتواند از آن بگریزد. در این جهان، او فقط یک انسان فانی بود و مطلقا در اختیار اراده و میل کسانی قرار داشت که بر او قدرت داشتند. این افراد مکررا آن‌قدر به او فشار می‌آوردند و تحت فشارش می‌گذاشتند که در نهایت، به شکلی درآید که مورد پسندشان باشد.

I am not sure if I’ve ever read such an uncomfortably well done representation of racism and sexism emerging/showing their faces. This is haunting.

Omg I am SO STUPID 🫣🤣
Dismally.
Definitely a word. Oh my gosh.

It was loud and distracting and I thought she was trying to say “dismay-ly”

I reread it and realized. Good lordddddd

I’m sorry… did I just read the word…

“dismally”???

I just saw an edition of this with SHELVES OF BOOKS printed on the edges. Are you kidding I want that one!!!!!!! It’s soooo pretty.

Can’t even lie—
The odd, fairytale-ish things randomly happening has got me. I’m hooked.

“The face of his watch was filled with water”
After he had a dream in an underwater crypt.

Like it just keeps you intrigued and guessing 😁

I imagine some people think they, especially Effy, are annoying. But I think they are just so utterly human.

And I don’t feel like I read such flawed, odd, struggling-in-daily-life people, and I can respect that choice.

In the first book, I really just chose to ignore what was not so great and I was able to still enjoy it lol.

I kinda wish they were going back to Hiraeth tho. I love the architecture concept.
