I am almost nervous to finish this book because I don’t want there to be some giant plot twist that ruins the story. This has been so fucking good up to this point.

It’s just that I don’t care about your agonizingly long soliloquies for Saeris, Kingfisher. For Pete’s sake, we get it, please stop interrupting the story for not-so-breaking news. 🙏

Audiobook thoughts - Ren’s accent is not so much lilting, more akin to… Speedy Gonzales? 🥴

Maybe I should blame it on seasonal depression…but I am kind of bored 😿 ?? I love these books but this ‘un is just not hitting like its formers.

I am really liking this Romeo and Juliette adaptation. Which is precisely why I am struggling to go further…I know how violent delights have violent ends and I don’t want a sad ending. Maybe Emily McIntosh is more woke than Billy Shakes?? Gaaaahhh I don’t wanna look but I gotta 😰🫣

Suggestion for new title: Kingdom of Cockblocks. These poor kids haven’t even gotten to 1st base but have been cockblocked no less than once per chapter. Calm down, Julie Hall, the YAs need a lil bit of face sucking at least. Please…

I a struggling. The author is in her 2018 woke era and I’m like thanks for queer 3some, but these aren’t the main characters and literally I don’t care.

…does the author not know the proper punctuations for quotations? Or is my kindle version weird?

🙀 dammit I knew it. I didn’t. But, shit.

Just some light trauma bonding with a dash of genocide 😩

I feel like Dagfin could use a win.

There are so many characters 😭 I need a map…

At this current moment, there is a giant snow spidergolemleviathan that our scoobies need to deal with. The neurotic prince got eaten, the foppish prince has teamed up with the maniacal alternate personality to literally light one candle, the golden retriever wraith peaced out, Jazzyboi is talking to neurotic prince as he sits in the monsters belly, and our only female is hell bent on just doing as she is told. WHY?

Lykor declaring that Jassyn isn’t his family (when his alter ego is definitely his cousin) reminds me of Michael Scott “declaring bankruptcy” 🥴

Oh mylanta, the love triangles…rectangles? No, octagons for sure, are too much. Lawd simplify this for me. Also here to remind you that Serenna and Fenn are cousins and Lykor/Aesop (or whatever his name is) and Jassyn are cousins.

It’s like Sheldon Cooper made a baby with Enders Game, but it’s communist China.

Ah, so mass murder it is…and yet, Theon still lives. 😒I am about to be over this series. Three 600+ page books where everything goes wrong and all the saddest things come to pass is a little too much for my psyche.

😒 50% of this this thing has been stupid premonition dreams or attempts to get me on team Theon and just like fetch, it’s not going to happen.

GIVE ME SCI-FI RECS PLEASE AND THANK YOU 🛸👽

My innate inner-brat is howling in rage for this FMC. Oh lawd, I pray she grows claws and shreds these fuckers.

Man adopts pup from local shelter only to find out she is a wild hyena and there are no take-backsies.

I’m giving it the ol’ college try, but I hate it.

Ugghhh I am already annoyed with poorly done brat trope. “I have just discovered magic exists but all I can do is embarrass myself, undermine people much more powerful than me, and blindly give opinions with little to no facts.” If this person existed in the real world I would definitely hope they get eaten by a bear any time I remembered they exist.

Can I just say I love this girl’s posse of supporters?

Oh, Margo. Bless your dumb 19yo heart.

Listening to this audiobook and can I just say these narrators are *chefs kiss* fantastico 👌

So far we have sat around in a tent, had a lot of unconvincing conversations about being enemies, and glossed over angels raping women every other chapter. I really hope we get some movement going soon…

Everything is very upsetting.

It’s like hanging out with old friends…who forgot I am wildly neurodivergent. Don’t know if I’m smiling because this really long story is captivating or if I’m just smiling bc I no longer have any idea what is going on but am afraid of letting my friends down. Also, why are there so many characters? I would never have this many friends in real life.
