Ackkkkk

This is still as stabby as last time 😂🥺

I just love these characters 😂

Hehe I'm excited to reread this 😁

I love this book.

Though I just went from almost crying, to dying of laughter.

“Too many people forgot hope had teeth and truth wielded a sword.”

…

“I’m shirtless!” Anaís yelped.
“You were taking too long.” Simone paused, glancing at her back, at her trembling hand holding a glob of ointment, at the tear that had escaped and trickled down Anaís’s cheek.”

Ah younger sisters… love em

This book is stressful. In all ways.

I’m stressed for the characters, stressed about the shadow creatures and the evil fathers, and stressed about WHAT IS GONNA HAPPEN CAUSE I CANT TELL.

I may be a writer but I’m surprisingly bad at predicting plots. Though most of the time I enjoy that because I can sit here stressed just waiting for the twists

Some books have enemies to lovers

This book has enemies and lovers in the friend group. I love Eoghan and Simone trying to be friends and bring the nations together, while their best friends are over here hating each other. It’s LOVELY

Also this book is freaking me out in a good way. Like the prose is so gorgeous I am feeling the paranoia

AND THE LIBRARY HUNT SCENE. The adrenaline was not good right before bed

Sometimes, I reach strange fantasy names and just roll with whatever it looks like in my head. But here, with the glorious pronunciation guide, I’m actually trying say their names correctly. And yeah, it feels a little foreign, but also SO RIGHT and rich in this world.

And these sisters… *sobs* I love them. They’re there for each other

“I don’t need Anadali,” she clarified. “I need my sister.”

You know how there’s just some books you can feel are going to be amazing? Well this is one. I saw the cover, fell in love. (If you get this book, buy the hardcover. You will not regret it. It is THE MOST gorgeous thing ever) I saw the reviews from two people I really respect, and it sold me.

I opened the book, and the world and characters are ALIVE.

WHAT 😨 NOOOO!!!!!!!

Soul reflections > soul mates 😌🤌

The pieces are starting to come together...! I have a feeling I'm going to be desperate for the sequel!

*"Too many people forgot that hope had teeth and truth wielded a sword."*

🔥🔥🔥

Oof, poor Eobhan... 🥲

Boy... That was heavy 😓

I'm sorry, fated mates but she's his assassin??? I'm so hooked!!

There are a lot of elements unfolding now! I'm having a little trouble following it all, but I'm really hooked!! I wish I could read more tonight!

I wanna be at this spring festival so bad 😩

Oh my goodness... 🥺 Poor Anaís... This backstory is even sadder than I was expecting 😟

Eoghan is such a sweetie 😭

Okay Sparring With Your Enemy has entered the chat 😏😏

When Robin promised sentient fog, she was not kidding 😆 Really enjoying the characters, the environments, and the mysteries so far!

"She had been death's accomplice far too often for it to try to sniff her out so easily."
THAT is metal. I love Anaís so far

He smelled of cedar and black tea and the wilderness between Nahonaugh and Dúndíor—earthy and free.

Ahhhh see this is how we know they’re serious, she’s smelling him now.

Me: I wonder when Tadeo and Simone—-
PLOT TWIST
ooooooOooooooohhhh

“So, we are traumatized but not alone.”
This quote makes me want to laugh and cry all at once

Ooooooo falconry

Not me having a mashup of part of Epic and Frozen 2 when she says “show yourself!”
