I’m struggling 🫠 was I just like ovulating when I read the first book because this feels like a Carrion Swift carried fever dream???

This book is smut and info dumping and I am just exhausted. Info dumping for HUNDREDS OF PAGES when we are at BOOK SIX?! My head hurts.

I don’t know what I’m going to do when I’m done with all of Helen’s books— she’s a god-tier writer, and I do not say that lightly as Carissa Broadbent, Stacia Stark, and Sarah J Maas (TOG only) are the other three. Helen’s 3 series are SO vastly different (a couple of repeat tropes but can you hate a gal for not fixing what isn’t broken?) and she has me by the neck for all of them.

Finally having Raihn appear in Mische’s new storyline… immediate heartache— my Shaylas 🥺 they BETTA reunite again

I think that I may need to take a break from this genre because it’s to the point where the “plot twist” is not twisting for me anymore 🤨 Once I was tricked by SJM in TOG when I was new to fantasy, and I’ve been riding that high ever since.

This better cleanse tf outta me because I am so hungover from Legends of Thezmarr and I need something light to fix me.

I’m not sure if I will continue. It feels like Diogenes’ cynicism under the guise of stoicism via “realism” and “logic”— it’s far more logical to blend reality with idealism, and the outlook that this is giving is quite glib.

Just finished day 6’s practice & I’m honestly not sure how I feel about everything Burkeman is saying quite yet. Not to be one of “those liberals” but it feels like a lot advised practices come from a place of immense privilege. There’s a huge difference between “the art of letting go” and becoming overwhelmingly and selfishly disconnected from the world around you.

😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 I thought I was traumatized after the Cat & Mouse duet, but I actually think that I might be way too into the stalker romance bc this is… 😮‍💨
