It is SUCH A SHAME I'm not quite vibing with the writing style in this because the plot at large is so interesting ???

Like, a Peter Pan-retelling taking a sharp left into A Little Mermaid retelling?? Peter seeking out a sea witch to get to stay young because he's in fact a trans man experiencing dysphoria?? Fkn rad as hell of a concept

This is so cute what the HELL 😭😭😭😭😭 this is the kind of space aliens business I adore 😭😭😭 it's really giving friendly Doctor Who vibes but more science involved I'm SOBBINGGG 💕💕💕🫶🫶🫶

While the science IS definitely non-scientist-friendly and explained well, this book is REALLY testing my ability to pay attention and actually follow what I'm reading lmao

I love sci-fi

Low key wish I could have had an internal debate about which cabin I'd be in but ye no there's really not any other option than the Apollo one for me lmao

Also I would definitely have been as obsessed with this as I was with Winx Club had I read it as a kid for SURE

Alright let's see what this boyo is all about huh

It's been a Long Time since I read a book with such distinct, unique, REAL characters as there are in this book and I love it.

Bronca is probably my favorite lmao she's such an ICONNNN 🫶🫶🫶😩😩😩

Having gone to therapy and realizing that I in fact DO deal with anxiety makes reading books with MCs who DEFINITELY deal with anxiety hit way harder than it needs to, actually. Like, that's me in the corner (of the page) that's me in the spotlight (of the reading lamp) losing my [goddamn mind]

I am in actual tears. Sarah. Sarah you cannot have thought this imagery through. I beg of you to go on ao3 and research what actually good smut is like. You can't have Rhys shove himself into Feyre's ✨️LITERALLY✨️ GLOWING ASS DO YOU NOT HEAR HOW FKN RIDICULOUS THIS SOUNDS 😭😭😭😭

I am going to become the Joker. This book is the start of my villain arc. I'm going to CRY why the FUCK do you HATE BEING CONSISTENT WITH YOUR OWN FUCKIGN STORY

Started thinking a little too hard about what makes supposed love interest Rhysand different from Selwyn Kane and realized what makes Romantasy inherently different from Fantasy, and I am now inclined to agree that we should keep these genres far as fuck from each other actually

High Lord of the Spring Court: Tamlin
High Lord of the Summer Court: Tarquin

Sarah. Stop this. This has to stop. Listen to me-

High Lord of the Spring Court: Tamlin
High Lord of the Summer Court: Tarquin

Sarah. This has to stop. Stop this. Listen to me-

Feyre Archeron. FAE(RE) ARCHER(ON)???

Sarah I know naming things and characters is hard and requires more than 5 seconds of thinking and placeholder names are great for drafting but be so fucking for real right now

You cannot convince me we live in a timeline where this book touched the hands of a single editor

I haven't even made it past the wedding and I am legit furious over this woman's writing. What are we doing??? Is this fkn Madlibs ACOTAR edition??? There will be no blanks for me to fill in as an audience if you give me the bare bones of a fkn stick figure for your characters, Sarah.

Why did we need a sex scene there. What the fuck. Tamlin. Why are you a sexist bastard all of a sudden. Why can't you have a normal conversation like adults. You are like a gazillion years old. What are we doing. Why are y'all keeping your eyes open when you kiss what the fuck

This book is written so well but I have somehow fallen out of the habit of reading the past few weeks and am having to fight TOOTH AND NAIL to get back into it 😭 do NOT equate my lateness and slowness of reading this to in any way represent how good this book is bcs it IT phenomenal

I am re-reading this for comfort reasons and also annotating it as I go and I had somehow entirely forgotten exactly ✨️how much✨️ of a callout this entire thing is for ME specifically💀

Like literally no self-insert or Y/N fic I have ever read in my entire life online comes CLOSE to how bugged my room feels when reading this bcs How Does She KNOW 😭

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🙏🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭
