Status Updates From Ariah

hate to be the guy to criticize the female partner and not the male partner but at least with Sorcha i can see why him and Ariah click. Shayat however has mostly been just a straight up bitch. why does ariah like her???? why does she like him??? like, there is nothing there

i genuinely feel so bad for Ariah for this. i don't think he is trying hard enough but these assholes using him for something he still can't control.. its so fucking creepy and weird

Shayat has been constantly so rude that im beginning to think Ariah just has a hard-on for people treating him like shit, boy please

rereading... love an mc who recognizes he has done wrong and is doing his best to make up for internalized homophobic shit

Forth time he randomly ran back into someone he knew.

Ok I gave up but it stuck with me last night. Trying again. Who knows.

The second time he randomly ran into a friend in a strange city. So unlikely that It takes me out of the story. I’m just being grumpy now.

So I am definitely intrigued by this world and want to see where it goes but dang ariah is getting annoying. Whines too much and sh*ts on everyone around him despite said people providing all the moral support possible. Oh and all his needs are taken care of. Food shelter money and he has the luxury to just pursue his learning. Must be nice.

Not saying this book is perfect but it is dang good

Very slow paced. But I. The right way. With characters I like and want to follow

Could do with a glossary haha. Reminds me of the goblin emperor.
