The feminism in this is incredibly ham fisted and the writing is very tumbler esqe but I am intrigued by the vibe I will admit!

Here I am once again asking fantasy authors to do better research if they’re going to do historical fiction. Yes obviously 16th century was not great to be a woman but if you’re going to have that be a central theme in ur book, do some research in what that actually would’ve looked like.

Like there are Disney princesses who took longer to fall in love than this guy takes to undo 30 years of celibacy 😭

Bro saw one “beauteous orb” and folded immediately

Apparently none of the residents of dead woman crossing understand the concept of pleading the 5th or that police cannot make you speak to them

I’m no police expert but I’m pretty sure police officers cannot force people for questioning without a warrant, and even then they can’t force pi to talk lol I think this author’s research is episodes of CSI

I wish strande was a real person so I could shot him with a gun!!!!

Why are we having a 9/11 flashback in a Oklahoma murder mystery lmao

RIP Mary Bennet you would’ve love Audrey Hobert’s album “Who’s the Clown”

“I know little of the war….is it about slavery, then?” “Not really, although that’s a part of it. Mostly, it’s about states rights…whether the state or the nation shall control” 🚨🚨state’s rights to do what, exactly, L’Amour???? What “rights” did the southern states not want taken away that they started a war over??????????? I’ll give you one guess!!!

And remember, when an author has a main character in a book that was definitely a former slave owner, but the topic of slavery is never directly brought up or even referenced, just alluded to as “her plantation”, that is a deliberate choice on the authors point, and a cowardly choice imo!!!

Me every time I open up this book “so where we, ah yes, the pit of despair”

People on TikTok are so annoying with how they talk about this book but like I do have agree re reading this as an adult I hate everyone here lmao just absolutely nightmare blunt rotation of human beings

Christina ima need you to stop pining for a man here good lord “you are woman with a brain, stop whining and find something to do!!!”

Audio book re read, I remember loving this book

One thing Anne Mallory is going to do, and that’s have a book loaded with sexual tension from page one! I see the puritans in some reviews don’t like that a romance novel is horny, the horror!!

“How had I, and so many others, been so vulnerable to being manipulated by someone like Jodi” gee I don’t know Shari, maybe because your family is a part of a religion that thinks a random man who married teenagers “found” magic plates from Jesus or whatever the fuck Mormans believe??? A church that teaches its followers about how the devil is lurking everywhere???

I don’t have kids yet, but the idea of subjecting my hypothetical children to random judgements and comments from strangers who don’t actually know them, or worse, pedos who follow these channels, makes my skin crawl.

People who watch and genuinely enjoy family channel vloggers are so fucking weird

“In my church, we’re encouraged to document our lives meticulously” oh like how yall did with the mountain meadows massacre??

*laughs nervously* is Shari….is she still a Mormon??? Willingly? After all her mom did??

Why le fuq are we calling catherine Carey catherine Howard, this is so weird

Something gay is going on here, I just can’t prove it yet

Very surprised that Philippa Gregory has not written a book from Margaret Douglas’s point of view like why was your last book some nonsense about Jane Rochford being a spy or whatever when you could do someone like Margaret Douglas?

Okay but how Nelly was villainized in the film and by stupid people on TikTok makes me so mad, she’s definitely not perfect but she’s also one of only adults in this book to be somewhat nice and encouraging to child Heathcliff - also she’s an adult servant, not a paid ladies companion??

“Nellys the villain” “no heathcliff is” no ur both wrong the real villain in this novel is Joesph!!

Okay interesting that early Jean Plaidy wrote in the style of a 70s bodice ripper, I didn’t know she was cool like that lol! Also pretty sure the term “ball” for a large court dance wasn’t used in England until like the 1600s so the usage feels annoying here.

Absolutely forgot how when we first meet child heathcliff he is described as an “it”

Why did we need to have multiple characters named Cathy in this lmao I have a character chart open to remember who is who

Been meaning to re read this for a long time and seeing the film (lmao) finally motivated me, and getting into, emerald, why the fuck did you not include ghosts??????
