So she’s annoyed with him and she says “so what if he saved my life a few dozen times this evening?” as a selling point as if that’s not a good reason. And all I can picture is some early Disney show laugh track playing as the angsty female main character crosses her arms. You get the image or am I crazy??

So she knows someone is going into the prison to assassinate Cal, she watches the guy go in, then spends two days working in the stable making a plan… why wasn’t he killed in that day? Why didn’t the assassin immediately do something? The logic isn’t logic-ing.

thanks for making me sob! now i’m waiting for romance… you better make me happy now please i’m begging you

“If people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and unjust, the wicked people would have it all their own way; they would never feel afraid, and so they would never alter, but would grow worse and worse. When we are struck at without reason, we should strike back again very hard; I am sure we should. - so hard as to teach the person who struck us never to do it again.”

She is FAR too relatable.

“However carefully I obeyed, however strenuously I strove to please her, my efforts were still repulsed, and repaid by such sentences as the above.”

I get her. The OG Mirrorball in some sense…

i love this author too much to trash this book so just know i do not like it and im hoping it’ll get better. i’ll only be updating page numbers because i have trust that the writing will get better. she has an amazing writing style but this book really just feels like a money grab

i do love seeing snow crash out over a covey

“the newcomers” noooo

mags is gonna save this book for me. she is the only character i genuinely understand

i’m just gonna push through. this is corny, man. this book isn’t doing haymitch justice

i’m putting this down and i’m gonna try again later. so far, this book is absolutely awful. yall led me astray

damn. i just reviewed the last book and praised how it didn’t feel forced. this is the legit opposite. you’re telling me haymitch was friends with BOTH of katniss’ parents AND peeta’s. at this point, names are being thrown in to satisfy readers

ouch plot hole

HER UNCLE??? NO WAY
there is no escaping lucy

“she would be there, knowing he was still a genuinely good person” HUH?? DELUSIONAL AF

i hate snow. i hate him i hate him i hate him. I HATE HIM

pov you’re snow realizing lucy actually has a personality and isn’t just a pretty girl twirling around singing 24/7

oh i just know this betrayal is gonna hurt

the best character in this WHOLE book by FAR is sejanus and the absolutely worst part is that we can see how snow doesn’t actually like him but if we didn’t get his pov they’d seem like such great friends which is what sejanus also thanks

“but the point was, he got to keep her. and he wanted to keep her. safe and close at hand. admired and admiring. devoted. and entirely, unequivocally his” DAMN

she is INSANELY smart

“it suggested a tale that could only end in tragedy. star-crossed lovers meeting their fate. a revenge story turned in on itself. a war saga that took no prisoners” THE FORESHADOWING

half way done and i absolutely positively hate snow and not for one i should (what happened to B) but the simple fact that he can’t accept how unbelievably psychotic and selfish he is. he genuinely GENUINELY believes he’s right morally

YO ISNT THIS A KIDS BOOK??? the gore here is crazier than the first three books combined

“what he desired had little to do with nobility and everything to do with control”

“said coriolanus, adjusting a hot pink rosebud in her hair. it matched the one in his lapel, just in case anyone needed a reminder of who lucy gray belonged to” BELONGED TO?? HELLO?? i just love how his horrible tendencies aren’t over exaggerated or highlighted, they simply exist for us to gape at. so casual

“it will only take a handful to get the word out,” said the Grandma’am. “it’s just the kind of story that catches fire.”
