Nobody in this book is called their actual name. Sel. Tor. Sar. It was actually really off-putting to have Bree just immediately switch to calling a guy she doesn't like and who actively delights causing her trauma the nickname that his friends use. Like what

Review incoming after I've slept

Valentina, the woman that you are

"“I will not leave until you send me away.” Or until I’m driven mad by wanting."
I am also being driven mad okay!!!!

Valentina falling in love with her husband is SO hard to watch because I suspect they won't both survive the narrative

Whatever is going on between Santángel and Luzia I am 👀

"And if I remain in the dark about our purpose here, and the meaning of eternity, I have nevertheless arrived at an understanding of a few more modest truths: Most of us fear death. Most of us yearn to comprehend how we got here, and why—which is to say, most of us ache to know the love of our creator. And we will no doubt feel that ache, most of us, for as long as we happen to be alive."

“They’re holding on. They believe that it’s just a matter of time before God takes this evil man from their midst, leaving the First Ward intact, with one of their own in power. And I agree with them. I think Warren’s going to get his comeuppance."
I mean he goes to jail for sure!! But boy howdy are his flock still wild about him

At 96% in to this romance novel, the main lead has just said point blank that he has no choice but to marry his partner, even though he is certain he doesn't want to. What the fuck. I feel crazy.

Three weeks before their wedding, and they both aim for each other's most fraught and traumatic weak points. Awesome

With all the love in my heart, these two lovers are NOT ready to get married. Ffs. They are regularly fighting about some very complicated and intimate aspects of their own identities and basic sense of selves. I hope they talk through and resolve it, but I'm finding myself rooting *against* them getting married. If they were my irl friends and not two fake men in a romance novel, I'd advise them to maybe wait a year

"Oliver has been seeing a professional for two years" that's great, Luc, and where's YOUR therapist? Huh? HUH????

Holy fuck is Mariana a bad therapist. Where is this man's emergency plan. Also, I'm really trying to give this book a fair shake, but graphic self-harm in the first 3 chapters is making me consider an early dnf.

Not a single one of my mutuals has rated this anything above 3 stars. I am ready to have a moderately okay experience

Becky Chambers you son of a bitch, you've done it again

I didn't quite realize how long ago this book was written, hearing Rulon Jeffs referred to in the present tense floored me. This was published a year or so after his death, but must have been written in the last few months or so of his life. None of horrors of the Warren Jeffs era had even come to pass yet. Honey, you've got a big storm comin'.

I've only had Mosscap for two sentences, but if anything happened to it, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.

"They looked up at the mural of the Child God Allalae, their god, God of Small Comforts, represented by the great summer bear."

I'm legit so soft about this

This intro is throwing me back to my Runescape days, I was such a Guthix stan

Fuck offfffffff, Jon Fleming

Oliver has soft dom energy, which I respond well to

I polled my friends for some light and silly books to read as I work myself up to diving back into the hunger games series, and this was recommended by my friend Ky. I liked RWRB back in the day, so I'm hoping this will be similar tropey nonsense fluff.

holy fucking shit. hello??????

Uh oh!

Elena :(

Gonna knock this one out real quick before my libby hold expires
