Status Updates From The Poet Empress: Eine Ball...

Wait, no.. WHAT?!!

Haven’t blinked once since starting reading

This is interesting to read after having read A Song to Drown Rivers not too long ago. They have a very similar synopsis, and the first chapters set up our main characters in similar circumstances: poor village, famine, dead sibling, sacrificing self to empire for sake of family. I think the style of writing for this book is a bit more my speed. There’s also magic, which I didn’t expect, so that’ll be dif.

I looove moral quandaries in books. What is the leased evil? Are you becoming what you hate? Are you perpetuating the cycle? How is cruelty born?

It takes monstrous acts to create a monster. Absolutely horrific

So gooood
