How clever! The daughter of Athena, who cursed Medusa
And Perseus who is the namesake of the one who killed Medusa and the son of the one who defiled the temple

Not to have a bone to pick but one page 8 he says Percy has ADD and now he’s saying he has ADHD - two totally different diagnoses

Abby is kind of horrible
She stereotypes women, she is the epitome of manic pixie dream girl with literally no substance to back it up, just the stereotype, and also craps in other women’s kindness to her and confidence
Like so what if they like facial? So what if they want to get a spa day?

Girl how are you gonna spend all night detailing your torture and love story and not tell him the MOST IMPORTANT part of the story

She’s being such an idiot
Like why WOULDNT you come
Clean???

We go from paragraphs of nothing happening to pages of info dumping

Yeah I actually don’t like remy at all
He’s desperately trying to adjust to a life he doesn’t remember and she can’t even deal because she’s ATTRACTED to him???

The use of pronouns in this book are so odd

What is happening
Now have we gone from an amnesia story to a literal murder mystery

Ummm not the evil brother being a literal voyeur

Yeah that didn’t fly with me
“Always love” your ex? Nope.

How are you gonna say the girl you can’t have when you’re actively on a journey to retrieve a soul to be with her??!
Don’t make me angry

You know what I’m not okay with? Ash pretending he adores Meaghan and would do anything gor her like GIVE HER HIS TRUE NAME meanwhile he’s messing around with his ex

Jude’s eyes flutter open, bright with determination. “That I have loved you.” He raises his head, voice steady, certain. “Unreasonably. Entirely. Unfairly and, gods know, selfishly. In every life that I have lived.”

I will play whatever role I have to if it means holding on to you. Let the gods judge me a villain for it.

I love a villain for everyone but her

“I am applauding your every move, listening for each and every line. And at the end, I’ll be at the stage door to meet you,” he says, and his hands are so warm and familiar, I can’t help but lean into them, wrapped in the scent of hyacinth and not caring that his rings will get twisted in my hair. “Whether in the next life or the one after, I’ll wait there in the wings until it’s time again.”

“I’m never far off, Riven. I’ve never been far off. What is death but a brief intermission? A moment backstage.” He brushes a knuckle to the delicate skin behind my ear, glides it down my jaw, and tilts my chin up to meet his gaze, which seems brighter than the moon that haloes his silhouette.

Not a fan’s handwriting, and not his. Mine. I grin. “If not in this one—” “Then in the next. I do love it when you leave me notes,” he confirms with a smile.

“Any voice, no matter how cutting. Through any gaze, no matter how loathing. I would know your touch through a closed curtain and the sound of your step when the last spotlight has gone out. I have known you at the beginning of each performance, and I will bow with you at the brink of every finale.”

“I’d know you with any face and by any name, Riven.”

Jude. I know him better than the rest. I’ve loved him, his every song, every story, more than any.

This is the definition of I’ve loved you in every life time

“Riven,” Jude says, breaking me from my stupor. “If you trust anything of me, then let it be that I’m sorry.”

WOAH WOAH WOAH
this is NOT how this was supposed to go!!
Jude killing gene and her dad???

“Heart, I know,” he answers with a laugh and reaches for my chin to angle his gaze back on mine. “But I’m starting to think I may be one of yours.”

Because as he turns, sees both a question and its answer written across my face, he mutters something that sounds suspiciously like, “Dear heart, I think you’ll ruin me.”

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

But egos love misery, and that’s how I know you have a vicious one. Pain is protection, too. Pain will blame everything outside itself and never once check to see if something is broken within.”

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
I’ve been WAITING for this

Oh I’m EATING UP the “I’ll burn the world down for her”
