You see the longer you immerse yourself in the book the louder ‘A Horse with No Name’ fades in to the cinematic descriptions of the bishop and vicor’s journey

Im sorry ‘copper’ skin? this is the whitest girl in the universe

So we meet this elusive previous captain page 100 and now we are actually on the planet???? This book is seriously throwing me off my game

Crap, the library hold is almost due and this book is the one I chose for a reading challenge. I gotta finish this rn

Odd reflection of dynamics I thought no ome else experienced

Cant quote anything in here bc its an earc but my god some of these lines are bangers I cant imagine how beautiful it must be in the original language

The couple openers for the childhood chapters were rough with the ‘whimiscal’ prose but now that the author has established the setting in the remote lodge it is getting better

Actually hate the childhood sections because the prose is clunky as shit might dnf if it irritates me enough

“The Miracles of the Church seem to me to rest not so much upon faces or voices or healing power coming suddenly near to us from afar off, but upon our perceptions being made finer, so that for a moment our eyes can see and our ears can hear what is there about us always."

Prose reads like someone who thinks they know how to write fantastical imagery but falls wayside. Its irritating actually

Wow

Those raised in a military household will relate hard to hearing Cyrus’s speech to Adam. They don’t care if you don’t want to go, you will. I was the fortunate one

Devastated

What was the definition of friendship, anyhow? I had long lost sight of the answer —- SCREAMING AND CRYING

Light the Light In by Lana del Ray played while reading the following scene it never felt more fitting for this relationship

Watching Aoyama fumble these interactions with Chizuru because she her status as a Mainlander is both fascinating and makes me want to yell at her. Her pacifism will be the determent of their relationship because Chizuru clearly wants someone who can choose a side. My heart breaks with Chizuru this woman with so much potential to understand her also is above her status and cannot understand her dilemma

"The demarcation between the Islanders' lóo-bah and the Mainlanders' sashimi is the distinction between the dirty and the pure," Chi-chan said, her voice low. "The same applies to the Islanders' chosan and the Mainlanders' kimono."

YES YES DONT HOLD BACK GO ALL IN ON THE LUDICROUSY OF THE SCENARIO DO NOT HOLD BACK

Knew this book existed but when the developers of Scarlet Hollow said it was similar to the VN I finally paid attention. Chasing the Scarlet Hollow horror/comedic vibe
