The more I read this the more I think, “why the fuck were these nurses not recognized as veterans” because these nurses literally landed WITH TROOPS ON D-DAY INTO NORTH AFRICA. LIKEEEEEE

So basically id never survive in the puritan colonies
Abitha ily!

Okay I’m so close to finishing but goddamn Anna your undiagnosed bpd really fucked you up huh

Having a good time but damn this book is dense

The drama in this book is top tier. Tolstoy was fr about that tea
Also his ability to make 5 chapters about mowing with a scythe somehow interesting???

So I see why people were upset with how the most recent adaptation of WH movie “followed” or really did not follow the book
But when it comes down to it..
Catherine and Heathcliff are entirely fucking annoying and petty in both movie and book
There are also like 3 different movie adaptations… we can afford the creativity here

“I think I’m gonna dieee in this house” all I can think of while reading this

Crying bc I love being a woman and the community that is womanhood

the octopus just called someone a cuckold so there’s that

Edward is actually a psychopath but I’ve never been more obsessed with him #TeamEdwardAlways

I had to go touch grass and go on an hour long walk after reading chapter 34
I desperately need my next boyfriend to be an alpha werewolf

Damn….. This is a great book, but also very unsettling because this satirical, dystopian society is quite literally the reality we could potentially find ourselves in

I need to switch to audiobook because reading so far is not it……..

All gas so far
I love Norse mythologyyyyy

Officially back in my historical fiction era
I can already tell you this is a 5 star book. So good, so SAD, but sooo gooood

Another quote (from page 212) that I wanted to share:
“It should have been distressing. In truth, though, Robin found it was actually quite easy to put up with any degree of social unrest, as long as one got used to looking away.”

Another great parallel to current social unrest felt across the world. Silence is compliance.

“…which is that it’s better to be a servant of the empire, brutal coercion and all, than to resist. Because it’s safe. Because it’s stable, because it lets them survive. And that’s how they win, brother. They pit us against each other. They tear us apart.”

Really enjoying this read so far. Especially in the current fucked up state this world is in

Nothing pisses me off more than miscommunication oh my god nyktos you got me all sorts of fucked up and PISSED OFF

This tandem read of the prequel series and FBAA better be worth it because why did I enjoy Sera/Nyktos SO MUCH MORE than Poppy/Casteel after just one book? Ugh. Hoping this one isn’t a flop!!

This book is kind of shitty, poorly paced, with cringy writing. But will I DNF it? No. It’s just going to sit on my table until I finish my other book priorities

There is crack cocaine infused in this book I’m addicted
