“That’s why rich adults hate the sort of thing that Louisa paints on the walls of buildings, not because they love walls, but because they hate the fact that there are beautiful things that are free.”

This quote on page 2 had me hooked. Backman never fails to get me hooked instantly.

Enjoying this so far! Lots of world building

Oh maaaan this is going to ruin me

Can I just….not work tomorrow and stay up reading this instead?

Not the usual writing style I prefer, but I am enjoying it a lot

I love how Kinsale writes her fmcs. They never need a man to save them and they’re always so complex.

I don’t know what it is but I love Kinsdales stuff. Her mmc’s yeeeeeearn so good

At this point I’m more concerned if I’m NOT crying. Also, Aedion is irritating me so bad

I’ve already cried like 4 times

Pain

I’m not ready for the emotional damage this book is likely going to bring me

If i see “blarg” or “rawr” written one more time I’m burning my kindle.

Really enjoying this so far! The magic system is interesting and I love the writing style.

Another indie author! Really enjoying this so far. It’s urban fantasy which isn’t my usual, but I find the story engaging and I want to know more with each chapter!

I was given an arc of this novel in exchange for an unbiased review and even though it’s not my usual genre, I’m enjoying it so far!

Loving this so far! The magic system is so unique but it’s broken and explained without being a huge information dump. Loving the fmc. Fk the patriarchy! 🤣

IVANNNN

I’ve been slowly reading this at work and ughhh whyyyyyy is Gillig such a good writer. Like save some talent for the rest of us I BEG

Once I hit the 25% I was HOOKED. the beginning is a lot of world building

Gillig does it again. I’m trying not to peer through this book because I am impatient and don’t want to wait for the next one 😭

Enjoying this so far! Nice prose and interesting world building so far

9% and already this book pmo.

You’re telling me that this girl who lives on the streets, who has “trained” with wooden swords in occasion, is able to fight off guards? Not one. Not two. BUT THREE. Guards that she mentioned are highly and specially trained for this job? Who are ruthless killers?
🤨🙄

Cute so far!

YA but still enjoying it
