Status Updates From Alchemy of Souls

shit just got crazyyyy people got stabbed, Eloise got kidnapped by the Lawless... fun!

« I groan. “You taste as good as you smell.”»

BROOOO i understand that he can smell feelings bc of his magic but this fucking line + the word "groan"........... i wish i could unread this 😭

“I’m not a good guy (...). You should probably stay away from me.”

ohhh okay this one is giving wattpad 🥴💀

she has a dagger to his neck and then follows it with "I want to kill him. I want to kiss him."........... this is becoming a booktok trope checklist, i fear

Grayson and Adrien fighting bc of Eloise oh please

Grayson continues to gain some class consciousness okayyy i love the bare minimum!

why is the High Chancellor (aka Grayson's uncle) telling Grayson "Make Eloise fall in love with you.”........... broooo the author is just pulling the most generic tropes out of a hat and shoving them all into this story now, istg 🫠

it genuinely makes no sense that Eloise doesn't want to lie to Maggie and decides instead to fake date him so she can use that as an excuse to always be with Grayson (aka she's still lying to Maggie lolol)... the longer this fake dating shit goes on, the more annoying it becomes, bc it keeps emphasizing how nonsensical it is

this fake dating ruse is so useless and silly

Grayson is learning class consciousness woww congratulations!

Eloise doesn't want to lie to her bff, but she can't tell the truth about why she's spending so much time with Grayson, so she's gonna fake date him to use that as an excuse as to why she's always with him?? baby that's still a lie ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

"And for unknown reasons I let this petite girl tell me what to do. In fact, I kinda like it."

😏

"no one has ever accused me of being nice before.”

lmaoo 😭💀

why does this school keep trying to lowkey kill them omfg

is this seriously going into fake dating? please say it ain't so 😭😭

Adrien seems nice which tells me that he'll turn out to be evil. Hoping this book doesn't do the most obvious thing possible with his character, though.

why are they saying "BS" and "effing", when the word "bitch" has already been used? 🥴

I wish I knew why these Lawless guys are so dangerous

yeah this Grayson dude is pissing me off. I never liked arrogant, cocky and rude men in books

« His dark waves tumble onto his forehead and his shockingly blue eyes look up at me under sooty lashes. The effect is completely disorienting.
Whatever look I have on my face must amuse him, because he smirks. “You’ve got a little something…,” he says and wipes the corner of his mouth.
I immediately touch my face only to realize a second too late that he’s making a joke that I’m drooling. »

i hate cocky men

"He looks like he wants to rip my balls through my throat"

lmao??

instead of getting a Guild, Grayson got the image of Eloise's face 💀💀💀 that's embarrassing

idk why but I wasn't expecting this book to be an urban fantasy. it straight up just takes place in our real, modern world lol

okay the classism is already crazy bro 😭
