This is such a struggle I am so BORED

Does anyone care about Elide roaming around the continent accomplishing absolutely nothing ?

That was some of the cringiest smut I have ever read

"C'était un geôlier, quelque chose de moins intelligent que la serrure qu'il fermait"

Balle perdue pour Gryphus lmao

HELP something finally happened and now I feel (very mildly) invested
Will SJM finally get the better of me ?

"She'd once sworn never to eat fish"

Where the heck does that come from ? Explain. Give us a backstory. That is such a weird statement to make, especially without any context...

Why is it that SJM feels the need, in every single one of her series, to ram down her FMC's former love interests ? Can't we have a switch without making these men look bad ?

Chaol was amazing, and now that Aelin likes Rowan, Chaol is painted as a bitter, mean character for us to stop liking him. Does SJM know she doesn't have to destroy a character for us to love another one ?
She did that with Tamlin in ACOTAR.

If someone just gutted the King, this whole series would have been over by book 3.

"Aelin leaped into the pit, landing on her haunches"

HER HAUNCHES ??????
NOT HER FEET ????

Celaena jumps from one man to the next because Sam's death has wrecked her so badly she's now unable to fully give herself to anyone for fear of losing the one she loves again. Sam was her only true love and I'll die on this hill.

YES I'm reaching way beyond what SJM is capable of implying bc she's dumb af, but I'm trying to find reasons for this shit-show to make sense.

"How would he have served that monster ?"

BITCH YOU SERVED HIM TOO AND YOU SLAUGHTERED THE REBELS WHO WHERE ON YOUR SIDE

Damn you can tell I didn't have much to do at work today.

Let's summarize : Celaena meets love interest 3, thaugh she hasn't yet gotten over love interest 2.

Love interest 1 meets a girl who popped out of nowhere and instantly falls in love with her.

Love interest 2 allies with the rebels to gather intell on how to help love interest 1 to deal with his powers and fails for the time being.

So much fun...

Manon is quite an interesting character.

Which means she'll be ruined by the end of the book, as SJM is utterly incapable of keeping morally grey women morally grey.

"The man - male - standing in the alley" 💀💀💀

One month to hate-read Throne of Glass : book 4 (which technically is book 3 but I'm not gonna explain the whole ordeal again).

In typical Ishiguro-style, something in here is rubbing me the wrong way.

Probably my fav non-fiction of june (and probably my ONLY non-fiction of june)

I deserve a treat


Also, I'm scared. I LOVE Ishiguro but apparently Klara and the Sun is not one of his best...

3 SJM books in 6 days, what a struggle...

"Boots perfect for climbing" absolutely not, climbing with boots is the worst idea ever, you'll have absolutely no grip at all

I was not expecting the third novella to be a crossover between Assassins Creed and Spirit : Stallion of the Cimarron. It was bad

Are you kidding me Sarah ?

-Stealing a horse
-Getting pursued by armed guards
-Entering a red canyon
-Jumping a ravine over which the guard can't follow

I know that movie. It's called Spirit and you shamelessly plagiarized one of the final scenes.

"Even without her armor, she was stunning. Celaena tried not to be bothered by how few people looked at her"

And that, my friends, perfectly sums up Celaena Sardothien to you. It's like this ALL THE FREAKING TIME
