ok but why is my favorite character the ominous dead guy with glass googly eyes and a fondness for knitting

*grabby hands for magic fiddle*

*lowers my glasses far enough to look over them disapprovingly* that is assisted suicide, my lady.

Character: I wanna talk to gf alone please
Maid: sir there are laws of propriety here
Character: ok but what if we talk state secrets that would convict us both of treason if you’re here
Maid: …I seem to have found the one exception.

Beren and Luthien vibes,

Holmberg: have you enjoyed the requited romantic pining?
Me: yes
Holmberg: do you love them?
Me: yes
Holmberg: ok great because I just remembered this is a wizard book so we're gonna bring necromancy back in the most painful way possible oh and your favorite--brutal chapters from the history of Wales! :)
Me: ...yes I would like to report attempted murder by ink pen

Character: I can't escape. People will recognize me here.
Character 2: ok go to Ireland then?

dancing with your Hot Enemy? nooo dancing with your Forbidden Love Interest after much Mutual Pining, please.

please
for the love of my sanity
don't be a romance.
just don't.

wait wait wait wait
you mean to tell me this boy gets an intellectual equal, a fellow spark, a beloved wife, AND in laws who adore him?

...once again the true fantasy is not the Victorian wizards

I am not going to cry over these two hopelessly romantic softies I am not going to cry I am not going to cry
this is a SERIOUS WIZARD BOOK THANK YOU

character: *gasp* the gf has dimples?? so cute!! I will not stop saying things to make her happy until I see them again. :3

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

The prose is flowery, and I can see straight through it to the technical bones of what she's trying to accomplish...and yet the initial gut punch is still perfect.
How does she *do* that??

*cranky noises*

*deep breath*
*bellowing at enraged tuba volume* JESSICA

oh hey I hate this trope :)

ok I have some very mixed feelings but the jelly beans are jelly beans and we approve that one.

...well then.

Protagonist: I’m going to a writing conference.
Side character: so you’re a writer?
Protagonist: WHY DO YOU ASK

Me: hehe how silly! and…not relatable…at all…

Lewis: I am trying my best.
Me: I know this, and I love you.

Not sure quite how I feel about the evolution metaphor?

Lewis: you thought you made this decision? wrong. you ate boiled eggs
Me: is this about the cucumber again

Justice for Elan.

so all of your mutual yearning in the relationship could be solved if y’all would just CONSIDER A LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP

like a woman can’t have love and a career. give me a break.

Did not expect to be yelling “PEANUT BUTTER HAS SALT IN IT” at a faerie like he’s a dog monching chocolate, but here we are

oh yes darling
do indeed pretend you have the moral high ground in pursuing the greater good while you consider whether or not you choose to save the life of another living being

I’m being petty but I’m not sure I care.

Really liked the opening but...we'll see if I feel like chucking this one at a wall at the end. The romantasy tropes are sprouting like mushrooms.
I smell a love triangle. And I'm not happy about it.
