i hate this so much

the temptation to DNF this book is SO strong right now

forgot to mark i was reading this oops

no one would talk like this it’s so unusual, and how would they already have a theory like that on how icarus fell? hello??

first time they’re talking and he’s already planning marriage….

so silly that we basically ignore the athenian sacrifices to the labrinyth until theseus arrives, and then suddenly ariadne feels guilt/shame for being an onlooker??

i repeat: this is so stupid

ok theory about the son ruined

xavier was the other guy, but you’re telling me his name is fucking cross?? cross??????

of course his name is xavier

why the hell is a hybrid(?) coyote attacking a small child in the middle of a busy market square??? this does not make any sense at all

how heavy handed do we think this book is with foreshadowing… do we think the guy that turned his mother in is the previously mentioned love interest?

yeah this dialogue with the male love interest (i’m assuming) is giving me horrible romantasy vibes

time for something a bit more goofy

“My God, I just remembered that we die.” no clue what the context of this quote is by clarice lispector but that’s a banger way to start a book

may have skipped a few chapters but we are properly recapped and ready to understand what the fuck they meant by that ending

starting the reread so i understand the second book & i totally forgot about how much of a banger the start of this book is

not the secret history being referenced

disregard, she didn’t technically murder her mother but she did encourage her already bipolar, suicidal mother by telling her that she thought she should die when she was just a 13 yr old child (wtf)

psychopath confirmed but i was not expecting her to have killed her mother

never thought i would read about a mushroom-induced hallucination of your affair partner pouring fondue cheese over the legs of their actual partner

now you can’t tell me that we’re leaning so hard into the swiss stereotypes and culture YET this woman would allow her husband to drink beer with his fondue. there’s literally no way

and the thomy?? they know their stuff

AROMAT & MAGGI MENTIONED WOOOOO

her now transcribing the conversation that she had with the client of the sex therapist that she usually transcribes feels insane (also totally landing herself in deep shit here by going with a fake name)

stop why are we going in this direction

we love all the swiss stereotypes: sweden, freeze, chocolate and suicide!

and then the most anticlimactic buildup to fell also transforming into a dragon!!! i repeat for the ten millionth time: this is so stupid.

so the man who has been very pointedly traumatized by dragons since he was a baby suddenly had a change of heart because of tamsyn??? sooooo fucking stupid.
