This main character's narration of the story might be one of the most REAL and unique I have seen in a ✨️while✨️

I can already see why Jemisin is such a hyped up author 👏👏

Was about to start a trash-read of ACOMAF but was reminded that it's LITERALLY BLACK HISTORY MONTH and I simply Could Not Do That. So! Instead I will be diving into the black author gems I have not yet gotten to on my physical TBR, starting with this one. As a Legendborn fan, this is already looking like a great time 14 pages in, ngl

I forget sometimes how absolutely brutal kids' media can be about their portrayal of tyranny, oppression and manipulation holy sht 😶

This series is so precious to meeeeeee <<333

I am so bummedddd. Why are we nearly 300 pages in and almost exclusively dealt with love triangle drama ?? I wanted to LOVE THIS 😫 crossing my fingers that it picks up but man maybe I'm actually burnt out on the YA fantasy genre idk

This is very much giving 'If We Were Villains' and I feel like these 600 pages might not be as daunting as they seemed at first actually

Knowing now that the author wrote this for shits and giggles makes it easier to ✨️read✨️ for shits and giggles.

If you look past the supernatural inability of these men to take a "no", playing the Wattpad-bingo is a pretty fun time

12-yr old me would have thought this was a scandalous, unpredictable masterpiece lmaooo 💀

Okay so... this book has illustrations, but like at what COST 🥲🥲 (I am effectively spooked)

I finally got to this one and ngl it is both very spooky AND well-written, AND very gay (and ace??) I have high hopes about it so far 👏

The way I have literally been CRAVING a book like this about superheroes for MOTNHSSSS 🤌🤌🤌✨️✨️✨️ I am FED🙏🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭

Oh HELL yeah. HELL YEAH !! 🤌🤌✨️✨️

I started The Invisible Life a while ago but realized I wanted to read Schwab's writing in physical format so I could write stuff down. Can't wait to get obsessed with it 😗🫶

We have had two (2) incredibly mid and mild "spicy" scenes in this book that is rumored to be "all fairy porn" and I have 50 pages left. I thought this was gonna get me a bad rep bringing to read at work.

Am I reading the [clean] version?? What is going on??? What are we doing ???

WHAT are we doing

When people say this "almost turns into a new book !! :D" after the 50% mark... well they aren't lying, but just not in the way they think it is

Don't think I've ever seen an author so completely give up and abandon logic and reason like this

As a lover of worldbuilding, foreshadowing and interesting dialogue, the "Romantasy" genre has always confused me. Because what do you mean you want to take the potentially richest and most complicated genre and boil the entire world down to be a mere backdrop for one (1) kinda mid, basic, over-done relationship

I.E. : Sarah, you are disappointing me rn. I am disappointed. AND mad, actually. Disappointed *and* mad.

I know Feyre canonically can't read but her "how dare you say we piss on the poor"-ass behaviour about the whole set up isn't really helping

Starting to realize what people mean when they say "just turn your brain off" when defending the quality of books like this one

If you write the word "snow" onE MORE FUCKING TIME-

I started this in solidarity with one of my besties going through rought times. Also? I am too curious for my own good, probably.

Oh yeah this is about to be the easiest 5-starred book I've read in a while

TALL GIRL REP !! 😗💅✨️ Immediate extra star from me added to whatever the final score will be for this one lmao

The writing style looks PROMISING 😌😌

This is really just 'Legendborn' meets 'Magnus Chase' but in space and I love it lmao

As someone who loves stories told from the Side Characters' POV, this is actually kinda rad

I'm also like that one Leonardo Di Caprio-pointing-at-the-TV meme every other page, which is also very fun!

Reading this as someone who is easily spooked, but so also have worked up strategies to Not Be Spooked, is indeed very interesting lmao

I got this mainly bcs of Jonathan Sims's writing in The Magnus Archives podcast, and I'm realizing that because I am expecting the spooks, I am simply not as spooked as I probably would be, had this been narrated in audio format

The way Henry describes giant spider monsters as "Many-Eyed" is fkn TERRIFYING and I am once again reminded of how being vague and less descriptive of scary things make the Thing™ in question Even Scarier 😭

What a breath of fresh air to read prose like this after the devastatingly disappointing reads I've had recently 😭🤌🤌

Oh this better take a turn for the incredible real fkn fast or I'm DNFing this fkn immediately

THIS NARRATOR DESERVES A RAISE I'M CRYING LAUGHING 💀💀💀

This is just 'Julie And The Phantoms' meets 'Cemetery Boys' (by Aiden Thomas) written in Ashley Poston-style and I am LIVINNGGGGGG 💕🫶💕🫶💕🫶💕🫶😭😭😭
