Girl, TmI. I don’t think Tam Lin and Janet needed to know that.

“The scent of fecundity upon her” ☹️ ☹️ ☹️ ☹️ ☹️ ☹️

Men would rather live in a leprosy hut than go to therapy

They sent her to the miserable half of Derbyshire

Part III ——-> Wasn’t even really a Tam Lin retelling. What was the point?

Continued —-> And what was the point of Greer agonizing over accepting her mother’s powers when they ended up doing absolutely nothing in the end? Is Greer capable of doing anything on her own? Does she actually have any abilities besides just standing there and screaming? Will she ever stop acting like a teenager? The answer to all of these is: no. The more I think about it, the more this book pisses me off.

Finished this, but I’m writing this in lieu of an actual review. That ending was so ass. I wasn’t super sold on the book the whole way through, but the ending was just a terrible slog. Why did she introduce a second love interest over halfway into the book, only to make him the loser and also unceremoniously kill him in the last 10 pages? Why is he here? Just to suffer?

Still really don’t know why she introduced a love triangle over halfway through the book

Heard that this was a Tam Lin retelling, so here I am. Before I started, I read through some of the reviews, and the biggest complaint was that the mc—despite being 27–still acted like a 17 year old YA protagonist. And, yeah.

Can you tell I had no plans for the day?

I always loved how we end that dramatic coronation scene, and then the first line of the epilogue is “I stand in the middle of Target”. Gotta pause the political machinations; I need to go to Walgreens.

Finished chapter 6 with 15 minutes in the month to spare

Haven’t started reading it in earnest, but I took a look at the page count and it’s 1024 pages?! What did I get myself into? I didn’t even like Manacled that much…..

It feels so long since I’ve seen them (it’s been a month). Save me Maomao; save me.

Oriana, they could never make me hate you

I think Jude should try and get Cardan to eat a dorito. I think it would kill him.

Can pretty safely confirm by now that this book is not DMATMOOBIL with the barcodes filed off, although it does still retain some general plot ideas from the fic

Yeah, it did not improve upon a second reading

Did she truly have to be 12, Ms. Bishop?

God, I hate this book

Bleh

Ms. Bishop, why?

Oh, I can tell this one’s going to be a wild ride already

Mama Mia………here we go again

Fairy Queens have got to stop enchanting mortal men. It never ends well.
