“Another moment passes where she musters me, but she eventually nods. “Follow.””

Confused as to why musters is used here like I think we need another word.

Actually I’m gonna go ahead and trust my gut and the comments and DNF because I’m not feeling realistic actions and connection between the characters and their setting

Honestly lost me a little that she’s receptive to being touched by Vorik a day or so after her whole family died?

I’m honestly not keen on continuing because I think I’ve read the same type of relationship so many times but what the hell I’m curious about where it goes

Just read a page where I swear I could some like LOTR music playing in my ears. Phedre is astonishingly written in the best ways

EXQUISITE like nothing else I’m reading compares

I’ve been WAITING for a new Kate stradling for months if not over a year omggg thank you 2026

You literally have to read every sentence and then reread to follow along - I LOVE IT

Well in the last 10 percent he stopped being killer fae - otherworldly being - and turned into what feels like a stock contemporary bad boy romance so that’s something. Still enjoying it but the build up to this and then hovering between conflicting feelings doesn’t feel quite right

Okay I’m having a slight problem where the actions aren’t lining up with the thoughts and we get BOTH povs so I’m having trouble feeling like it’s realistic (no spoilers)

Whatever didn’t work for me in Shadowvein is exactly what I’m loving in this like I’m gonna buy a physical copy it’s so good

I’m so serious when I say THIS is real enemies to lovers

Okay this is…really great…like I know there are lot of fantasy romances out there right now but this is realistic in the sense of trauma and emotions from years of things happening (rambling words right now will formulate later)

This is so excellent. It’s forcing me to read slowly and really work at retaining info (not that I don’t already try to do this but it’s making me put in the WORK)

Is this dramione I ALWAYS know

My head physically hurts from retaining all the info but I feel like my brain is redeveloping from doom scrolling so this is good

Okay I LOVE this. It seamlessly integrates how different people work with the world when they have different ways of moving through it (ie blindness, muteness)

Wait….this is GOOD I’m so intrigued

I should DNF

“My hackles raised.” I genuinely had to look up if people have hackles because it feels like it just yanked me into an overused expression for fae males and dogs but I guess we do have hackles and they are the hairs on the back of your neck. Which has a much better flow to it I guess but whatever

Actually Aelie has to be stupidest person ever

My problem right now is: I’m not convinced. I’m NOT convinced into believing Rheya being separated is a big issue because yes we’re told over and over “I wish she was here” but I’m just not feeling it and I’m also not convinced in kairos (as the love interest) he’s like a mashup of every stereotype

“The mairen didn’t gallop—it glided.” My spidey senses are tingling………….

This is by far one of the complex books I’ve read this year - I’m enthralled. The politics are so interesting and it’s cool to read from Phedres POV as she grows up I think you can really tell the difference in a 7 year old reporting on something vs her as a 15 year old. Excited to see where this goes next

So many characters to keep track of tbh and I feel like I don’t have a good sense of the world it’s just very character led

I’m debating a DNF for now and coming back in a year or just a slow long read where I come back to it when I feel like it every so often this is a little hard to read but at the same time I really enjoy her experiences

I think I relate to Raquel but she’s dragging and idk what that says about me HA

Brooke is a major drag girl please get some confidence and have some fun

Saw a trailer for off campus series and wanted to read a little sporty romance so anyways 🤓
