"man should lead because without her naturally gentle Emotional Support Husband, Woman's unchecked bloodlust will rain down terror without mercy upon all those who dare threaten whom she loves" is truly the Hottest Take Lewis has presented thus far

but considering it means Lewis regards all womankind with the same fear and awe generally reserved for Lady Galadriel, I'm not mad about it. ;)

C.S. Lewis: compares the popular, sentimental, fictional idea of irresistibly, uncontrollably falling in love…to catching measles.

:)

I can’t tell if this is caricature or if Robert is actually insane to be as selfish and un-empathetic as he is.

“she can have another baby” yes but can you get another pretty face after I smack you with this frying pan

Did not intend to read the sequel so soon on the heels of the first, but then nobody told me Mary Poppins ends on a sudden and unexpectedly tragic cliffhanger. :|

ah, logical thinking, my beloved.

Literally 1% into the book and Lewis is already off on a tangent about italics and apostrophes.
I love this man so much.

Character: this is a marriage of convenience. She’s marrying me entirely for show. No real feelings involved.

(character proceeds to immediately call bride “his wife” in his internal monologue)

Hmm. ;)

Alright, not bad, not bad. I wish the opening started moving a little faster, but the cute youthful romance smash cut to absolute tragedy was well done.

...well that got awkwardly spicy all of a sudden. :|

friends, is it fair to be annoyed if the fanfiction is spicier than both "original" versions of the tale...
...and the characters are teenagers?

Well, we never got magic midnight bird lady in the musical version.

Do you know, it's rather comforting to know there's a way to float up to the ceiling even if you haven't got pixie dust or happy thoughts. Even if, by all appearances, you are grown up.

I know I’m not feverish anymore but this book is making me feel like it

As expected, I am obsessed.

>:(

EXCUSE ME

JASPER WHAT

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
(flails in "that's a lot of blood")

...but I don't want to cry over a murder book :(

WHY IS THERE A HORROR FAIRYTALE
IN THE MIDDLE OF MY PEACEFUL MURDER BOOK
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

sure, I already have trust issues. Let's just read a Pliego book and get some more.
>_<

JASPER NO

What was that ancient Egyptian myth about two lovers who part ways in a labyrinth of a library and never find each other again?
…yeah, please don’t do that.

ah yes
the evil priest trope
fanatically addicted to a corrupted religion which worships prophets in powerful men rather than any true deity
…again.
This has got to be in my top 10 least favorite tropes of all time.
(rubs aching temples)

Two nerds flirting by letting each other talk about their special interests HELP IT’S SO CUTE

“People claim to want to know you, but they lie; love and its shallower cousins are fickle guests.”

(muffled sobbing)

Pliego: so the pretty boyfriend is a total gentleman and gives her forehead kisses and very expensive special edition books for Valentine’s.

Me: please don’t kill him. 🥺
