I want to punch Pliny in the throat, but Mustang shattered his ego with just a few words... Oh, I love her! 😂

"The human spirit tries to break free, again and again, not in hate like the Dark Revolt. But for love. They don't mimic each other. They aren't inspired by others who come before them. Each is willing to take the leap, thinking they are the first. That's bravery. And that means it's a part of who we are as people." - Mustang

Chapter 10... I'm literally sobbing!

"The first day I served a Gold was the greatest pleasure I felt in all my life. I can't explain it to you. It was like meeting God. Now I know that it wasn't pleasure I felt. It was the absence of pain."

Imagine threatening to kill children with a straight face... wtf did I get myself into???

"She is something new, something hopeful. Like spring to my deep winter."

"Of course there are machines to do these things, but an Aureate would never use a machine for something a person could do. There is no power in that."

Uhhhmmm... idek how to respond to that....

Oh boy... reading dystopia has become all too familiar... I think this series is gonna destroy me.

"I don't think I knew I was lonely until I met you." 💗💗💗

MY HEART!!!!!!!

"When we were together, though, the game didn't even exist. The rest of the world dissolved until I believed this was how things truly were. Like I'd never been that girl who'd felt entirely alone, misunderstood, and I'd always been this one: known, loved, wholly accepted by Alex Nilsen."

Watching the movie made we want to reread and annotate ❤

The loon tattoo?!?! IM DEAD

I binged a good chunk of this today and already have notes for my final review. I'm warning y'all now, it is probably going to be as long as this book!

I missed my close personal friends, Shane and Ilya 💕

Ew, I actually hate these people wtf

Wtf... I put down Wild Reverence and decided to switch gears. Right off the bat, this book starts out with a paragraph about how intimidating it is to start a new book, and then there's a baby shower with a pen*s cake. HUH?!

DNF for now... I really thought I was gonna be brave and read this whole thing, but from page 1 it's a living nightmare, and I'm too depressed to go through that rn.

I'm so close yet so far away from finishing this book lol

"It seemed the best way to prove women were not inferior was just to not be inferior."

I... I have no words.... the house of mirrors? I need a cold shower....

"And if falling in love was discovery, was letting yourself be discovered the equivalent to being loved?"

R.F. Kuang keeps stopping me in my tracks with lines like this ❤️

The infamous gun scene... yeah, that was hot......

It's finally time.

"Those who had nothing substantial to brag about bragged the loudest. Stay silent and ignore the chattering crowd–this was proof you had something real to be proud of."

"Pride was a library... The best libraries were like the best churches: old and musty, preindustrial... How bad could Hell be, if it housed a place like this?"

"How do you describe the person you look for in every room?
How do you describe the person who is the best part of your day?
How do you describe the rush of adrenaline you get when she touches your hand?
How do you describe the peace you feel when she's in your arms?
How do you describe the way you'd do absolutely anything for her and ask for nothing in return?"

HE'S SO IN LOVE, I CAN'T!!!!!

Ok, the romance is great, but the best part of this book is all the crumbs we're getting from the side characters! I just learned some things about Ethan that have me BEYOND excited for his book! 😁

Riley is getting back on the ice and I want to cry!!! I'm so happy for him! 😭
