Status Updates From Calamity (The Reckoners, #3)

dang megan is so cool. and larcener is so strange.
but wow megan is so powerful. i really hope she gets stronger and does these amazing literally otherworldly things without turning evil or getting headaches. i hope firefight gets an important part too

aw it’s cute that he identified tia from her cola. i wonder if he hinted at that earlier in the book and i just missed it, but i swear i had no idea he was doing this mobile-tracking thing to find tia.

bro there is no way i JUST noticed that exel’s name is a pun because he’s fat 😭
like XL. i only realized because i was telling aditi that david said he was “wide as a boat and morbid as a sinking boat” and then i said his name out loud.
it’s crazy that after an entire book of david calling him fat i finally noticed after he died 💀

aw that was kinda cute. abraham was impressed 🥹

oh nah “you do realize that […] we can kinda hear everything” is really really making me think it was more than a kiss. come on guys isn’t there a better time for this

what is THAT supposed to mean LMAO

“mmmmm.”!?
“some time later”, “stumbled from my quarters”, “disheveled hair”!?!
i thought it was just a kiss. it was. wasn’t it…?

O sea el miedo era el fracaso. Y solo con decirle y hacerlo notar hicieron que se pusiera a llorar? Raro. Y me hubiera gustado que se quedara con los poderes. Ahora espero que maten a Calamiri como en 40 páginas

this scene is just so crazy. like, walking into a city and seeing buildings of salt crumble as you walk past, and new ones rebuilding from nothing. and the strips of colour across the buildings. i can picture it glowing in the night.

the fact that this reminds david of the steel streets of newcago but feels unreal to everyone else is just so interesting too. i don’t know how to describe how i feel about it.

La teoría del épico tiene sentido. Pero David tuvo la oportunidad de ser épico y la rechazo. Aunque si esta fascinado por ellos. En retrospectiva si tiene sentido que si les puso tiempo límite es por algo, es un épico super poderoso, significa que puede matarlos en cualquier momento

Jummm el plan del profesor tiene sentido. Ser el más poderoso, es como coleccionar poderes. Creo que Tia le efectuará. Además me parece sospechoso que no mata directamente, sino que le dice a otros que mate, no siempre es él. Esperar que los artefactos sirvan.

Pero que hipocresía David. Tu siempre cambiabas los planes, en todo momento y los otros te tenían que cubrir. Ahora lo hace Tia y te molesta

i can just picture this scene so vividly. the jeep driving into the distance, the dead plains transitioning to grassy fields with faint the city aura and moonlight giving the grass blades that soft glow, and finally, the majestic skyline of a city among the miles of dead plants and the small stretch of grassy fields.

this is such a nice exchange. i love their private conversations—the humour, random backstory and other snippets from megan, just the vibe in general.
this scene in particular has the same vibe as sitting on the trunk of a car and stargazing, i feel.
