Status Updates From Besieger (Altars Book 1)

nobody understands how locked in i am to these characters and this world i don't want it to end!!!

since i've taken 0 notes:
fully realized, morally gray/black characters (minus that one guy <3). the architecture/atmosphere!!! prose is dense (info dump~y) but w notes accessible and quite pretty. vibes > plot (bc what is the plot tbh). adore this. my greedy ass can't put this down (on brand thematically).

the false sense of security mitova gave by dropping me off into a chapter about a cute little coffee shop with a charming found family after making me cry through a character's traumatic arc in n*zi germany only to make me have to now deal w my biggest opp emerick. i have no idea why i haven't like him since page one but <3

what if this book makes me actually enjoy court intrigue then what

who the hell is kryillos 😭

kalina mitova. my bad. truly. i simply did not know your game and i should have trusted you. i hated emerick and his pov was by far the best.

"neither would they ever again feel the warmth of the sun on their skin" and now i'm emotional thinking about sinners :") "last time i seen my brother, last time i seen the sun"

emericks first pov when i just want to see what dulior is doing stop :(

i love villainous women!!! <3 it’s midnight and i can’t put this down and also i just realized one of the mcs is gay and not bisexual literally as i was typing this so bby girl you do not stand a chance (delusional forced marrjage aside).

Dulior…. Girl you are insane 💕

emerick & victor 🥹

i need more mihaela and astra 👀

"The last to obey the order was his lover. Emerick stopped at the foot of the throne and in a ceremony he had practiced for centuries, bent his knee and head. When he looked up the fervour in his dark eyes made Silvio wish his lover was wearing armour; the two of them were always meant to die clad in scales armour and leather, to carry the weight of the swords."

dulior is my girl 🫶

"Rorgon had gifted her eternal youth and beauty, groomed her to be an eternal widow. He had moulded her from the earth soaked with his own blood—in the image of Lilith." oh, dulior

i think my sickness brain fog is finally clearing up enough for me to pick this big beautiful book back up!!

“Although Silvio had no mortal grave to call his own, Paris was where he lived and grew up as a youth. The city which ignited the flame of love in him—a flame destined to burn forever.”

ughhhh loving this book sm already

time to start this arc~!! 🤭
