LOGEN NO 😭😭

The Knives Out vibes are off the charts

I’m full on sobbing over this Christmas book

This conversation alone has made Brigands & Breadknives my favorite book in the series by far.

Viv reading a book while she eats dinner 🤝 me reading this book while I eat dinner

This is actually a romantasy?!
(jk)

“A novel of high fantasy and low stakes” my ass, I’m in TEARS this is NOT low stakes

I’m sorry there’s no way that’s actually Quai, that’s gotta be an eater or someone impersonating him. Idk how eater mechanics work, but regardless, I’m convinced that’s not Quai

My prediction about the plot twist was right…

I’m 90% sure I already know what the plot twist is going to be

The sexist treatment that the main character is receiving in this book makes me want to punch something

“Danger and opportunity often walk hand in hand”is giving major “chaos is a ladder” Game of Thrones vibes. I chose this book based on reviews comparing it to GoT, and it appears I chose well!

2 chapters in and all this man has said out loud is various grunts and “shit” multiple times lmao

OH MY GOD ROCKY NOOOOOO

Not me tearing up at the end of Chapter 12 omg that’s so sad

The self-censoring teacher in him finally broke at this plot twist lmao

I SHRIEKED when I heard my name!! So rare for a character to have my name (or, close enough)!

Okay okay okay I get it now

YES PIRATES

There’s apparently a big debate over whether Fugitive Telemetry or Network Effect should be read first due to chronological order being inconsistent with publication order. It appears most Redditors argue for Fugitive Telemetry first, so here I am.

I’m at that point where I have to remind myself that Murderbot isn’t going to die here because it still has multiple other books to live through after this one.

Omg what a first paragraph

Note: read this after the Love Hypothesis

“Tress looked toward Crow. And then, Tress took the singular step that separated her from people in most stories. The act, it might be said, that defined her as a hero. She did something so incredible, I can barely express its majesty.
‘I should consider this more,’ Tress thought to herself, ‘and not jump to conclusions.’”

The writing style of this book is such a joy to read

“She’s the oldest on the ship at twenty-six. Though she’s still plenty young, she has a gray streak of hair on the back of her head that she tries to hide in a braid.”
Geez reading YA books as an adult is brutal😭😭

I can already tell this is the precise book to scratch my pirate romantasy itch. Nothing quite says “alternate universe Pirates of the Caribbean” like starting a book with a Captain Jack Sparrow quote.

I keep having to remind myself that this book has a guaranteed happily ever after ending bc omg it sure doesn’t feel like it will at times like this

Absolutely no offense to Elise but the main character in this book is really dumb. Like so dumb that it’s frustrating to read
