I just know Lysander is gonna piss me off cause what’s thiiiiiiis

“I see by the melancholy look in his eyes that we are united in understanding that something between us is breaking and neither one of us knows how to stop it. Even if we leave Io behind, we can never go back to the way things were, to the private world we shared. I have outgrown it. I have even outgrown him.”

“My wife is not as fickle as a flame. She is an ocean. I knew from the first that I cannot own her, cannot tame her, but I am the only storm that moves her depths and stirs her tides. And that is more than enough.”

I’M STRESSED AND FRUSTRATED

why are we not allowed a moments peace and joy. Not one moment.

Im already worried what’s in store for me in this one

“If you value your friend when he fights your battles for you—when he is rogue and ruthless—you must value him when he is gentle, too. Otherwise you do not value him at all.”

“I have no use for stories.” My eyes grew unfocused behind my shroud. “Tragedy and desolation are right here with me.”
“Yes.” He went back to humming to himself. “But I am here, too, Bartholomew.”

😭😭😭 gotta love the gargoyle

We are indeed leverpostej

Im really enjoying this so far🤭

“The cathedral, its Omens, its Diviners sit on high,” the gargoyle said plainly. “If you only ever look up at something, can you ever see it clearly?”

So far it’s quite fun

😔☹️ poor Medusa

Im a little mad at everyone

Its too warm to read 🫠🫠🫠

“As she douses the temple’s torch and surrenders to the dark, Medusa thinks about monsters, and how easily she became one.”

Interesting

I’m scared.

“But this woman did not hold Time. She spent it. She wasted minutes in the sun, threw away seconds on winding sidewalks, offered hours to paintings and ice cream and movement, and let herself be changed.”

“I have since learned that marriage is nothing more than a spell strengthened by daily ritual. The spell requires libations: mundane musings hoarded and pored over, the repetition of small dismays, the knowledge of how your spouse takes their coffee. Marriage asks for that crust of time you were selfishly saving for yourself. Marriage demands blood, for it says: Here is what is inside me, and I tithe it to you.”

I. Understand. Nothing.

The prose is 10/10 though

What does one read after having binged The Green Bone Saga? Help

I cannot be the only one who thought that a certain two people would end up together eventually ??

I cried

(Crying cat gif)

“(…) I love you enough to see that you have the right to hate me. Just remember, I only ever made the decisions I thought were best for you.”

I feel like Anden and Lott would both be happier if they just kissed

I’m so sad for Britney

I already know the book hangover will be awful once I finish this saga … I need to prepare myself cause I don’t want to end in another slump

“(…) He made me think it might be possible to be green without being cruel and angry.”

Okay okay okay we got a smidge of joy meaning I’ll be devastated again very soon I’m sure

Also the writing issss >>>>

“Having lived so long in the uncompromising sunlight of Hilo’s love, the absence of his affection was a lifeless and unending winter.”

Am I the only one who’s been rooting for Shae and Woon?
