This book is written in the most aggravating tone, and Violet still is an overconfident little weasel that bites off more than she can chew and yet remains protected by her UNBEARBLY thick plot armor

Violet already makes me want to push her off the parapet myself

Why do all indi-published books have the repeating monlogues with no purpose? And idiotic MCs?

"'I'm so tired of being a good person,' Conner said." Honestly, me too Conner. Me too.

I love Froggy. I don't care that I know who he is, I love Froggy. All hail Froggy 🐸

Opinion check! Hatta taunting Cath with riddles and sacrifices is 👏DESERVED👏 on her part! She has made decisions that have hurt others and still refuses to acknowledge that. However rude and sour Hatta is being, he has every right 😤

"Catherine, I don't want your heart to belong to anyone but me." JEST PLEASE YOURE KILLING ME.

I cannot for the life of me understand Hatta's intentions, but I do very much adore him. Then again, he does use the pet name "love", and that always has me hooked ✨️

"He didn't set her down. Didn't let her go. 'When will I see you again?' He whispered." The level of desperation Jest has hit in trying to ensure Cath likes him and trusts him has me shattered and rebuilt-

Jest, my darling, you are going to hurt. Very very much. 🫠

Hearts in this book and Valenda in Once Upon a Broken Heart / Caraval have similar and yet immaculate vibes. Jest and Jacks, too. Ugh now I want to reread OUABH 😭🫶

Is it too early to say I'm already in love?

Theres?? No?? Chemistry??
Why has every character fallen off the edge this book? What on Earth HAPPENED?

Dull romance in a romance book . . .
*duh duh duh duuuuuuh* ⭐️ ONE STAR

The end of last book was promising - the Selected started looking interesting. None of them, not even the one I know will win, is interesting anymore. They've all lost personality.

The Maxamerica vibes are strong in this book and I am LIVING for it

"Henri was stretching next to Linde, so I instinctively looked for Erik." Honey you're in looooooove 🥰

Why is Henri sO aDoRAbLe??

I can't even count how many times she's struck out at this point. This woman is horrid, and poor Kile, poor Neena, and poor the entire palace for having to spend 19 years with her 🥺

*aggressive eye twitching*

This girl looks "up from under her lashes" so many times and I am BAFFLED that it works every time 🙄

Ohoho so little miss Eadlyn Schreave here is going to be insufferable?

Okay so Seth and Kendra are essentially me and my brother
(Also the descriptions of wildlife and nature are so accurate? I've lived out in the middle of no where my whole life, and I can wholeheartedly feel everything this book describes)

"He'd failed to go to Avery when his father's bomb had nearly killed her, and he'd lost her to his brother."
Arrow. Through. The. Heart.

"'It was made with love,' Xander told him. 'Just like I tackle with love.'
'No tackling,' Nash said."
Nash is the ideal big brother and I won't hear any differing opinions 🫵

"Because I love you. And Hawthornes protect those we love. Always." Tobias Hawthorne the grandfather you were ✋️

SCREW OFFFFFFF YOU TRAUMATIC SNAKE UGH
