here we go again

i feel like i didnt really pick up on some implications the first time i read this, so now everything feels so much worse.

yk knowing whats coming does not help whatsoever and it actually makes me dread turning the pages

this is making me very nervous

also vis is getting wayyyyyyyy too comfortable with emissa. nothingggg good will come from this im telling u

WHAT

i love callidus

ugh the worldbuilding in this delicious
i get why i've read some reviews calling vis a gary stu and like i see where they're coming from but i genuinely love him 😔😔

if anyone can save me from the depths of this horrendous slump its rf kuang

I WAS RIGHT OML???? no way

i had my suspicions but now i am almost 100% certain that the 3 povs are not simultaneous. like they take place during different times?


potential spoilers below

this is an absolutely wild, almost entirely unfounded take but...is there any chance that damaya, syen and essun are the same person? the more i think abt it the more sense it makes omg

*potential spoilers*

just a wild guess: is clio the missing baby??

i think i've figured it out omg

*spoilers*

okayyy hear me out: kelly is not ryan's brother. kelly is ryan. he's the undercover cop. that's why he has the badge, the one jen found. the 'ryan' chapters are from the past.

if I'm right then I'm literally a genius

HOLYYYY SHITTTTTTTT

plot twist gdddd

the contrast from how 20 years ago hilo said he 'forgave' shae for leaving, not acknowledging his mistakes but now when niko comes home he says that maybe they can all learn to forgive each other 😭
his character growth is bringing me to tears i canot

why ru

this is so sad but I'm also terrified. oh my god hilo's gonna go insane

tar 🫶

this is so sad

ohmygod anden 😭 if you told me like one book ago that he would be threatening hilo i would've laughed he's come so far

him standing up for niko the way no one stood up for him 🫶🫶

also i love love love niko idc like that's lan's son alright

i hate hilo for how he's treating him ugh how do ppl love hilo sm i haven't rly liked him since the first book??

this cannot be happening hahahahahha no no no no in going to lose my mind they cannot be dead they are not dead they are not dead i will not accept their deaths DO NOT PLAY WITH ME RN i cannot take this suspense JUST TELL ME ALRDY

this book is driving me insane and im not even halfway through

i love ru and niko

wdymmmmm a 6 year time jump??? ugh

i cant be the only person to hate time jumps. i always feel like I'm missing out somehow and six years is literally an eternity

ur telling me anden is 31??

been shipping them since book 1 and i cant even be happy about it bc yk on the small little account of him being MARRIED??

this is such a mess i need an anden chapter asap hilo & shae's shit is stressing me out

my dislike for hilo has been steadily growing all the way back from book one but this is an all time low

that's just disgusting cmon
