I only care about théo nothing better happen to him

I’m liking the setting and the dual timeline plot structure just not completely sold on the romance yet

some parts are slow but I’m really enjoying the character work in this

ALDEN YOU-

an interesting thing about this book is that the rich characters aren’t just “dark academia” caricatures but are actively going through their own troubles as well

I always have a soft spot for younger brothers who act like they don't but still care about their elder sisters, both ochi and okoa :(

yup I support serapio is all his decisions in the future that's my boy he's suffered enough

the number of plot holes is really starting to irk me now

ah I’m starting too see why some of the reviews complained about it being fanfiction-y
plot holes, lack of character depth, shallow dialogues and weak prose are not helping

yup I'm really liking asher's character so far

it's taking me a little while to get through the beginning cause its quite slow but I'm used to that we these type of fantasy books

while I am enjoying this book overall I can't seem to pinpoint what's not working- I think its a combination of limited word building and a lack of character depth tbh

say what you want ve schwab's writing never fails to be beautiful

Kate's character is giving me such Lila vibes and I hated her characterisation.. I guess v e schwab can only write one type of fmc in these type of settings

helene is really starting to piss me off icl

I'm enjoying elias and laia's relationship way more in this book compared to the first one in which it felt very ya

time to get out of my 3 week reading slump lets go

enjoying this so far especially for a ya

I could write an essay on how bad this book is: no character depth, no plot, no chemistry, insta love, fmc’s choices make literally zero sense

take a shot every time diem thinks the words “burn” or “fight”

“A toy in the blood. The silence around it. A girl, stiff and cold as a doll, all alone. Nobody left but Molly to see her. The streets too still, too quiet, no breath. This is her first sight of death.”

definitely the weakest book in the series so far.. pushing myself to read and finish this so I don't get into a reading slump

nick continues to be the consistent good thing in these novels

hmm this is the first time in the series that I’m seeing some aspects of 2015-ish ya that I’m not a big fan of

not the biggest fan of the plot direction since the 3/4th mark though

first time I've almost been brought to tears from a love confession
