I have no idea what's going on, but I stayed up till 1AM listening to this book!

The knife-wielding sentient plant is probably my favorite character

I'm really starting to wonder about the origins of this whole situation...

It's sooooo good and I'm only a quarter of the way through. The writing is funny and poetic and everything about this book so far has been sheer perfection.

Not sure if I can power through this one or not... the pacing is glacial, and somehow I missed that this was set during WWII before I started it. I'm here for historical fiction, but that time period is SO overdone.

How am I supposed to go to bed when everyone is in mortal peril? Really torn between being a responsible adult and staying up all night to finish this book right now.

There's nothing quite like reading wizards discussing how Hogswatch isn't compete without a good family row, whilst listening to your own relatives initiate a good christmas eve family squabble.

Conner is suspicious AF. Obviously trying to fish for info. Why is the MC so clueless? As a socially awkward introvert, I had him clocked from the first date. Also, get to the sapphic romance already for f*** sake!

The discussion of morality is so freaking good! Does your intention or your impact matter more in determining if you're a good person? It feels like this is the major theme of the novel, and I suspect will come back around again as the story continues, especially with the revelation about how sourcing works.

Ale-8 does taste like being 14 again... oh the nostalgia! Why do I get the feeling this book is going to make me cry?

I seriously need to stop taking book-tok recommendations. The writing reminds me of message board RPGs I used to play as kid; the metaphorical descriptions are just so cringe.

It's giving Discworld vibes and I'm here for it!

What just happened?

Why do I get the feeling shit's about to get wild?

I swear half of this book is Vis say "Pffft, I can do that, it's easy" then immediately finding out he's severely overestimated his ability and/or the difficulty level. It's making me warm up to him a bit lol.

So many people have rated this book 5 stars. Here's hoping it lives up to the hype!
