I kinda felt as the books went on Athelas had gotten more creepy/cliche in his way of speaking as and now I’m convinced he really was. He became more vague and fake.

Zero didn’t get to kill his dad himself but the combined efforts of his BEST FRIENDS killed him. You gotta love the power of friendship, man. This is great.

“I’m not going to let you stab me just because I’m a lowly human and you’re a powerful fae.”

Does Pet have fae blood or not? I feel like it is clear but it’s not clear to me.

My gosh I love ye olde puppet trope. Is it a trope? I’ve encountered it before so it’s a trope to me.

I WAS RIGHT AND I FEEL SO INTELLIGENT. I wasn’t completely right so thank makes me happy to though. I knew the pregnant Anne had to be Zero’s mother, but I wasn’t clocking how she related to Pet’s Anne. Especially since the timeline was so off. OKAY THEN!!!!

Also let it be known I’m SO glad she has her girl friend back. Girlie needs her zombie bestie.

“Did I want to choose someone” the Katniss in the midst of Catching Fire vibes are strong with this sentiment. There’s STUFF HAPPENING and you can’t FORCE these things.

“If it came to a choice of being loved without respect or respected and not loved, I wanted to be respected.”

SCREAMING. I could write an entire essay about this. I appreciate this so much. (especially considering how this series is in direct conversation with modern fae romance novels)

Initially the whole arena bit reminded me of THG but this is more of a post apocalyptic feel than anything. Staying in the house, anyone outside is an enemy, etc

I appreciate how second nature Pet’s magic is. She doesn’t think about it, or marvel at it, or even learn it (since she had been doing it as a kid and just forgot). She just does stuff. No biggie.

I HAD FORGOTTEN HE SLEPT IN HER PARENTS’ ROOM. I’m glad she reminds us of a few things. Of course there’s more if I’d reread the series, but I appreciate the handful of retrospective insane bits.

She never told anyone her name because of her mother’s conditioning. And then it probably became a habit. That makes so much sense. I wonder what she went by at work?

I think my heart actually stopped when I turned the page and saw her name. I definitely stopped rocking my chair and froze. Was NOT expecting to ever get it.
