foxface is DEAD. final battle is ON. shit is getting REAL.

hear me out. yes, i am reading this again. no, i dont care. everyone’s in their rereading books era and i am too. forever withstands the test of time! suzanne collins, there is no one like you!

it’s just beautiful. i’m really really enjoying myself!

‘Ah, there’s many things we don’t know, sir. The worst happens, and there, it’s done. The fleas go on biting. The sun comes up again.’

was also very keen on starting this one so started this tonight too! prose is soooooo beautiful and i’m very much looking forward to it

getting to the end of the story of jason and the argonauts and things are starting to come together quite a bit. i studied the ancient greek tragedy ‘medea’ in a uni class a couple years ago and connecting that play to the actual myth is superrrr interesting. medea is fucking wacko in that play - and turns out she’s been wacko since her very first introduction! so cool!

reading about jason and the argonauts! i’m having so much fun i love this book

“Heracles may not have possessed the pert agility and charm of Perseus and Bellerophon, the intellect of Oedipus, the talent for leadership of Jason or the wit and imagination of Theseus, but he had a feeling heart that was stronger and warmer than any of theirs.”

love u king, even though u got anger issues <3

back at uni (😵😵😵😵😵😵😵) so even less time to read rip… but loving hearing all about the tales of herakles! keen to get to orpheus

boom starting another book straight away! be proud of me for not taking a 1 month gap. determined to get my 10 books in this year so thank you stephen fry.

believe it or not i have actually still been reading!! shit has so crazily hit the fan in the last couple chapters i have not even the slightest clue how this book will end

okay but where is ulcisor tf…. also passed halfway!

woah guys vis is going through some serious shit
also almost halfway!!! woooooo!!!

every time i get back into reading this book i wonder why i hadn’t picked it back up earlier. it’s just so good!!!

got to hear from my girl aequa again and honestly? life is good.

loving it!

well trust james islington to get me back into the swing of things so quickly! i’m already feeling into the story and very curious as to where it will lead

boom boom boom! temporary pause on the egypt book because ams said i gotta read it and im trying my darn best to get back to reading. small start but sounds like some crazy shit to come

i’ve wanted to continue reading my ancient egypt book SO bad but alas have not had any time with university kicking my butt. this book is one which i have actually been forced to read for my teaching english assessment - a text im supposed to use to plan a scope and sequence for a year 9 class. riveting, i know. however, weirdly enough, i find myself enjoying it! a bit young adult for sure, but captivating!

you read so much and yet don’t make a dent. very close to middle kingdom egypt and then it’s time for the return of all of our baddies for the reunification of upper and lower egypt after expelling the hyksos 🥳🥳🥳

chugging along!

the ancient history girlies are gonna love this one!!! a non fiction baddie

so different to anything i’ve read but so so good

definitely not a book for everyone, but i am captivated by

will wanted me to read this one real bad - he loved it so much

keen to see how it goes!

banging. love it. there’s three perspectives in here but cassandra’s one is like super duper limited (which i like!!!) and it’s also the only perspective that’s written in third person which is a nice little tidbit. i like it barker!

hilarious that i’ve read so many rewrites of agamemnon and the return from troy that im able to point out every little inaccuracy….

i am really enjoying this though!!! it feels so good to get back into my ancient greece niche

look, i did say i was going to continue reading the red queen series, AND I WILL…. eventually. but dude i was able to read this for an hour and get through 50 pages i read aveyards shit for an hour and get through 15 out of pure boredom i just needed a BREAK.

this is good so far! i’ve read sooooooo many books at this point about troy so i feel very within my depths here

3 perspectives and not one of them good. it’s somehow a unique talent possessed by author victoria aveyard.

i have so many thoughts at the moment and i sense a lengthy review coming inbound
