This is such a slog omfg

Forget I said that mean thing before I was wrong

More books should abandon plot and characterization and setting for a series of nonsense vignettes describing a conflict I don’t understand or care about this is really awesome

Im booing this sucks this sucks this sucks

Multi-dimensional doomed Harem… ok…

My favorite thing about this book is that it abandons the characters and conflict from the first installment, in favor of a vaguely Irish training montage in a parallel universe. That’s awesome more books should do that.

The orders of magnitude difference in stakes being treated as exactly the same is killing me. Like “it’s, politically speaking, very important that I win this horse race against my classmate” vs “I’m a farmer now :)” vs “I need to incite mass murder to prevent the apocalypse.” Only one of these things is actually important and it’s the one I’m bored to death by…

Let’s all write revenge fantasies about people we went to high school with!!! Let’s make them poor ugly single losers with no friends!!!

Multiple POV my old enemy returns

Reheating Murakami’s nachos

Randomly dropping that one of your main characters has a sister and a mom on page 489… yeah sure ok why not

I’ve been like “wow it’s been so hard for me to have the energy to read since I started school” but actually maybe I just hated that awful book I was forcing on myself

I keep expecting Hadrian to realize he’s being kind of cruel to Crispin and it just never comes

Someone’s definitely read Dune!

Been illiterate for the last week but I’m locking back in now

“To the Federation, to the wipe out an entire race overnight was not an atrocity at all” suffers from a similar issue of you’ve insisted repeatedly that Nikan was complicit in the destruction of Speer

“They did not think of the Nikara as human” might be a viable line if someone had not said, less than 10 pages prior, that they did not regard the Mugenese as human

“I’ve been a real dick to you” u literally bullied her for being poor dark-skinned and a girl for 3 years and only stopped like a couple months ago…

Labubu face claim

Every time someone smirks in a book I can’t help but think about how perturbed I’d be if someone smirked at me irl

“She’s probably dead,” said the first voice,
To which the second replied, “Then do not let her die alone”

The Goodreads cover is so much better than the one on my copy

A part of me still revolts against the notion that this is our basic nature; that we are, in essence, self-serving creatures. That love in an explainable construct and souls are a pretty feint to distract us from our own cruel emptiness.

Forget I said that
