God forbid a woman is thirty and unmarried! You're practically dead!! GIRL STAND UP

Girlie, have at least a LITTLE self respect for God's sake. Dignity. It's called dignity. Find some.

I canNOT be reading a book where the love interest's name is BRODY 💀💀💀

Someone get this man Mr. Collins to stfu. NO ONE ASKED YOU BRO

There is nothing that I hate more than knowing that Mr. Darcy's name is FITZWILLIAM

Rebranding this as a horror story because why can Mr. Collins not take a hintttttttttttt

Keira Knightly ily ❤️

Oh my goddddddddd

Haven't put the ebook down in HOURS I can't believe it's finally out

Part I complete, and oh boy. The writing is wonderful, though obviously I'm reading the translation not the original text. The og is lauded for its language too though, so I think the praise can stand.
I'm honestly so scared, I'm not even a quarter in and everything is already going so badly, and I know enough about the plot to know that it won't get any better.

MONEY ACQUIRED

"Own thy own home" being the fifth cure for a lean purse is so laughable considering this was written in the 1920s. Like yeah, sure, be a homeowner, why didn't we think of that 🤪🤪

Taking a pause on Madame Bovary because my neighbor just came over to gift my brother and I this book with a $20 bill on page 40 with the stipulation that we have to read that far to get the money 😮😮😮

You can tell the author has never been to an actual Appalachian cabin by the way she thinks they have tile showers lmaoooo

Kissing already only halfway through the book smh

Got it for Christmas, so here's Take 2 with the mothman romance

Class discussion on this chapter on Islamic veiling is gonna be a nightmare 💀

Genuinely what cruel monstrosities did I commit in a previous life to deserve that ending, I am BAWLING WHY WOULD YOU END IT LIKE THAT

The only thing worse than a love triangle trope, is a love triangle where you like both interests and will be sad either way 💀

LETS GO LESBIANS LETS GO LESBIANS

Damianos??? What are you doing here :O

Okay so Leto and Mathias are both teenagers. She's 17, we don't know his exact age. But then you have:
"Leto's mother had died when she was ten" and
"the oracle who had vanished from the palace before he had learned to walk"
Did he not learn to walk until he was ten??? Did the author forget?? What is this timeline??

Lowkey confused cause the writing style and difficulty is giving middle grade, but the sexual assault is giving ya/adult

Torn between being happy that this one actually has female main side characters (a rarity for the genre) and being mad that they're all characterized as being dumb as bricks

I swear I'm trying so hard to take this seriously, but I can't. Bros just flying around on a drum like it's a magic carpet and I'm supposed to find that menacing?

I swear 90% of this book is just people losing their arms, reattaching them, and then losing them again immediately.
WHAT IS IT WITH THESE PEOPLE AND GETTING ARMS CHOPPED OFF

Left to die in a pile of corpses as a kid? That's so Kaz Brekker of him 🤪

This was actually SO much better than I expected it to be??? All the fun parts of the genre without my most hated tropes of the genre 🥰🥰
