A less peepee poopoo Red Rising…... thank god I am intrigued it’s kind of giving Dune (I mean it’s a space opera they all do to an extent) the shields specifically…I’m calling it someone (father/brother maybe) will be stabbed with what seems to be a lightsaber….. but also our main family is GIVING Thor/Loki not that I’m made it’s giving elevated Loki AU

Welp that went about as good as I guessed it would…. I am intrigued by the other colors especially the obsidian seem weird and creepy. If I have to hear Darrow say “mY WiFe” one more time..idk why is their age is such a pain point for me but it is.

I want to like this. I worry it has been over hyped to me at this point, but we will see. I am worried about how young Darrow and that translating to “broey” writing, I am already over the piss talk frankly. Eo my girl you are a child and if you live past the next 20 pages I will be SHOCKED

I am very much a mood reader and this is HITTING right now 10/10 loving it right now. I had started about 5 books and not made it past for first 20 pages in the last month and for some reason this one is just clicking with me. I feel on the back foot at times with some of the worlds language but characters don’t know words like concubine? Odd. it’s like Shadown & Bone meets Shadow hunters meets ninth house vibes

Finally started this and I’m intrigued by the magic system, I feel a little lost I wasn’t expecting a POV shift especially this early. My biggest hurdle currently is hearing Kal-El when the narrator says Kell’s name I can’t decide if it’s me or if they are saying it weird and I am visualizing him like he is supposed to be Superman 💀 but I am obsessed with his coat

How horrible must it have been for Hay to have his only allies murdered the come home to his family actively being murdered then get a front row seat to his doves death. He knows Snow will kill anyone so he pushes everyone away & drowns his sorrows then to have his BFs daughter unceremoniously dropped into his lap as a tribute who wants to paint her own poster & make the capital pay & he finds himself loving her too

Ooooh Hay how cruel can your homecoming be. The fire, the funeral, the sister you never had, now your first love is slipping away you are loosing them while they can say it wasn’t your fault it wasn’t death by your hand. She was your little dove unknowingly killed by your hand puppeteered across miles by one man

5 am to early for the sun to rise a glow from the Seam it can be only one thing. Snow landing on top…Hay was a spark and the way coal dust permeates everything in the Seam it was all too easy for fire to catch HE IS JUST A BOY! The casual way the peace keepers drop the fallen tributes coffins from the train brutalizing them one last time because they used up all their worth in the eyes of the capital sickening

It’s truly chilling the games recap we see through Hay’s eyes. In the current state of our country it feels like I am being beat over the head mercilessly by the Propos saying the snakes in charge can and will try to alter the narrative right in front of your face and some people gobble it up without a second thought. Collins is laying the tracks for the rebellion we finally see in HG. If we burn you burn with us

I don’t know what horror awaits me in this last two hours but my god the last chapter has been brutal. I was so worried our final 12 tributes would have to go head to head & I was spared that fate but at what cost. I always knew I loved Hay but that poor man was just a boy beat down to within an inch of his life with so much pain. Only solace I have is that Snow will have no peace when it comes to 12’s tributes

I already had a visceral reaction to Lady Bugs as it was but fuck me Collins 🤢 god I hate them and how can you make Muttations so mundane and so horrible in the same breath

God damn that was brutal. I mean fuck Collins that was King levels of brutal child murder. I have always been freaked out by squirrels but never again will I be remotely near one. I should have known it was too good to be true with the tank, but fuck can Hay get a single win in this book. I mean no he can’t to end up where he does but shit this is BRUTAL

The games have begun. 20 kids die. 1 from 12 😣 I keep hoping there will be a catching fire moment of the arena being destroyed and the kids escaping but I know that’s not how this ends and I don’t want to except it. I also feel myself hoping for sparks between Hay & Effie I loved them and I always wanted them together post Mocking Jay. I really hope we don’t see Amperet die I am afraid he’ll this books Rue

MARRIED!? They are married! The fun is over the games are about to begin sometimes prequels feel unsatisfying because you know where everyone goes eventually but I’m having so much fun. HG was my book series in high school & I stand by them being some of my favorite YA to return too. They got painted as an another love triangle YA but they’re so much more

Snow is as nightmarish as ever. I’m a little surprised we are seeing him straight off a poisoning but it’s cool. I am ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED about what mutt torment Hay is about to be put through with L. That was a perfect example of Collins writing like that was not on my bingo card and it is a TV cliff hanger way to end a chapter

Being back in Panam felt like coming back home Haymitch has always been one of my favorites HG characters & this will be SO tragic I felt at peace in the Seam & being back at 12 That peace was shattered so quick Collins can completely send your world into a tailspin with a handful of words said so casually you almost don’t notice the horror like you’re a capital resident & watching the games become

I am so glad I didn’t force myself to listen/read when the vibe wasn’t vibing cause I’m back like a bad habit baby lol the playlists for Ridoc to play on his broken JBL speaker while we fly into battle are 🔥 and he will shepherd me through this book cause something’s gotta bring me joy it might as well be the thought of Ridoc and Aotrom vibing to Just A Lil Bit 🤣
