‘You, daughter of my heart, know better than I do that a woman’s worth doesn’t lie only in the children of her body – though sometimes women do lose sight of that truth.’

Daya!!!!! 😍😍🥵🥵

"Shayeen snorted. ‘You fems make no sense about what you call work. Women need time to talk and play and ride out hunting, not just to work. You work all the time, learning something, building something. We do what satisfies us.’"

I'm kinda with the women on this one, and not the fems, but I get their point, too.

The development of Daya and Alldera's relationship in this one is one of my favorite things I've read all year, honestly.

This book is basically uncomfortable women interacting with other uncomfortable women uncomfortably and I absolutely love it.

So pissed off at my reading slump (for eyeball reading), cause I've just been reading a few pages of this almost every day for a month, but my focus is shit. Like, how can I simply LOVE this book and not be able to read it faster?!

Painful and so realistic to be exposed to so much internalized misogyny and the hierarchies of women in this one. But damn, it's so good.

It's somehow very funny to read this after having a lot of it spoiled during book club last night... There's a lot of foreshadowing for um a thing that now I know happens and people hotly debated.

On hold after description of breeding rituals. trying to decide if there is any worth at all in finishing this.
