Saw an 80 year old woman on instagram reels recommend this series and said she’s read the whole thing thirteen times.

Very excited.

Audiobook version

Man this maid continues to forget to mention some pretty key information

this is blowing me away

MUSTANG POV HOLYYYYYY SHIT

Also pierce brown you coward, political arranged marriage between serephina and lysander was right there

Such a “Ser Illyn, bring me his head” kind of scene lmao

no matter how awful my day may be, i know lyria of lagolos’s day was worse #freemygirl

memorising the entire monologue from the second night and reciting it with appropriate emotion to the first man that approaches me the next time i’m at rics

This women is real asf, i’m gonna also start making new male friends promise to not fall in love with me. Lord knows they need that kind of verbal agreement #somedudesareweirdos

“to suggest to her that a woman is duty-bound not to spurn the timid entreaty of such an unfortunate man as I” 🤨🤨🤨

OH GOD IT WAS SEPHIE WASNT IT

Stopping for the night bc i’m exhausted from annotating and picking up white nights, which i will not be annotating.

“Do you think of her, do you still catch yourself listening for her footsteps, for her voice, for the sound of her breathing at night, because I do, all the time. I still think that one day I might wake and she will be there, next to me, again; there will have been some wrinkle or pleat in time and we will be back to where we were, when she was living and breathing.”

annotating this was a bad decision

i love this book

“….that the man offering to buy her father’s sheepskins is a liar…..” YO

poor decision to annotate this book because it feels like i’m highlighting every second line

this is actually very romantic

“The desire to push himself away from these two people, to stride out of the room, to wrench open the front door and run into the street rose in the son, like sap in a tree. And yes, to strike his father, to do some harm to that body, to take his own fists and arms and fingers and give back to this man all that had been dealt to him.”

this is soooo beautifully written

“I have every right.”

this is the words of radiance of the red rising saga, brother i SCREAMED AT THIS SCENE

“Serephina. Honour House Ra.”
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

To continue.

I think what has just happened is the point of no return. I’ll make some comparisons now.

Darrow in iron gold = eren jaeger season 4 attack on titan (first half)

Mistborn series = 1-3 of red rising saga
Stormlight archives = book 4, iron gold.

Darrow is becoming quite the anti-hero. So many things are in motion. I love this book. What a horrible decision Darrow has just made.

Might be too soon to make this declaration but this may be my favourite book of 2026.

In morning star we saw darrow make several incredibly hard decisions for the sake of the rebellion. It’s one of the reasons I liked the book so much - it felt very real in terms of the sacrifices that must be made in revolutions.

Now we are seeing the impact of darrow’s decisions in a horrifying way.

HOLY SHITTTTTTT

A very dark beginning but also filled with everything i love in a book. A SENATE SCENE? MULTIPLE POVS? HARDSHIPS OF A REVOLUTION? REALISTIC PROCESS OF CREATING A NEW SOCIETY?
