Change of reading plans since my E-ARC of Deadlock is unfortunately so badly formatted it’s unreadable, but I have been really looking forward to this one so I’m excited!

Plus, my Illumicrate copy is so pretty 😭

There’s some really weird errors in these first few pages (like parts of sentences are missing) and I can’t tell if it’s intentional or some sort of issue with the E-ARC. Can anyone else who’s read this let me know which is the case?

Chapter 25 was so much more devastating than I remembered 😭 Though, I do have to praise Samantha for the excellent demisexual rep

Oh Nick 😭 I love his bond with Paige so much, and that scene was so much more devastating this time around 😭

Rereading Liss’s card reading has me so terrified for book 6. What do you mean “All paths lead to anguish”?? 😭

First appearance of the nickname ‘Little Dreamer’!!! I’ve always loved Paige and Arcturus’s slow-burn relationship, but reading their early banter again is such fun 😭

Rereading TBS in an old fashioned university library is such a perfect combo

I'm having so much fun with this reread, and having the knowledge of the later books makes some of these hints so clever. I'm forever in awe of Samantha Shannon's mind!

Don't think I was prepared for just how devastating everything was going to be upon rereading 😭

Already there’s so many little details I’m picking up on in this reread. The mention of <spoiler> waterboarding </spoiler> in chapter 1 is so brutal Samantha 😭

I’m loving being back in this world again! Plus, I read this (and most of the series) in 2024, so it’s been a while! Nick and Maria are two of my favourite characters in the series, so it’s lovely to see them again here!

I forgot how young and innocent and hopeful Paige is in this novella, it’s heartbreaking knowing everything that will come 😭

But, I’m so excited to finally be starting my TBS reread!

I feel like it's becoming obvious that I'm working with fairy tales this semester for my Masters 😂

Again, this is a text I'm reading for university, so it likely won't receive a review or rating, and I don't rate my non-fiction reads anyway!

Another guess at my progress. Not really sure how I feel about this one. The formatting of the artwork and especially the speech bubbles is a bit weird, so it’s hard to follow what’s happening when and who’s speaking
