It’s giving “soul wracked with the reality of eternal torment”
Also the murder combined with him just getting rid of the stuff he stole which was the whole point of the murder wow

Really embodies the principle of that which you dwell on you become, and you can convince yourself to do anything.
I’m having a hard time reading this just because the main character is one of the worst, most victim yet pretentious people ever, I hate his attitude and outlook and reading his inner monologue is genuinely painful to me BUT I think that’s bc it’s the part of ourselves we never want to aknowledge

Drunk guy who has completely failed his family’s complete lack of self worth and understanding and just acceptance of the way he’s life to be is so distinctly pathetic I can’t even put words to it

DNF

So far this is Brandon’s biggest disappointment. I hate kalodins therapy journey

world building not convincing. Hypothetically I don’t comprehend how this regime has the power it claims if MMCs dad started it max 30 years ago? don’t add up. The mask bit doesn’t add anything to the story because the dystopia isn’t actually explained
It talks a lot about the division of gov but no actual explanation on how it works? Lots of reviews like omg just like today, to that I say bitch where

-prediction the brother is alive and working for rebels and the dad knows
-I don’t get why they don’t just kill psycho dad there are many opportunities, he sucks and MMC would probably be a natural next step in leadership and could fix the system but hey I’m just a girl with a third party perspective
-is the word antiseptic an adjective?
-the back tattoo sounds like the tackiest thing on earth

Well I’m not super into the hella bloodthirsty murderous FMC classic at the moment, but I am excited about this one the writing is decent and I assume girlie is going to have an *evolution*

Brandon Sanderson does not understand how 5 year olds thing and it show

Despite the amount of characters and that confusion I still guessed the killer THE WHOLE FREAKING TIME do authors think they’re slick??? I’m so sick of this bs SURPRISE ME EVEN ONCE I BEG

Too! Many!! Characters!!!

Too many characters that I struggle to keep track of and too many ethnic names but otherwise good so far

10 hours in and it’s still in set up phase hoooly cow and also everyone be getting laid I don’t want to think about Brandon thinking about sex

“People get why they expect” bars
Idk why mr gavilar is the absolute freaking worst? Glad that fool died in prologue one book one lmao every single flashback he is in I’m like
Holy hell man sucks
Dumb criticism but I don’t like that gavilar calls shadesmar shadesmar it don’t add up thought shalon made that up. If gavilar was also so upfront with so many people why were they confused for like 3 full books c

Really rough getting into but I like that they call the enemy “shotties” bc it sounds like Shawty and that makes it more fun

Every prediction I had from the first update I did has already proven to be correct

I don’t like MMC but I hear this is a 6 star journey-so far it’s at a 2/3 but who knows. I think the lead girl is annoying? But I do like that her twin got to be ~special~ too

It is taking much faith in the word of booktokers to press on as I’m getting the urge to read 1,000 other things now (a mistborn reread, sword of kaigan, the will of the many, or a classy classy rom com, I ain’t picky) but I will press on-I don’t know if this book will have romance but according to my kindle it’s only 8hours long and so I’ll give it a few days of effort

Well turns out Carl Jung isn’t the genius I thought he was bc the very basis of his pov on the unconscious I don’t totally get on board with but I am excited to read more and ~grow my mind~ and such but hey maybe my pov is wrong but I’m just going with my gut here

I wish I could go back in time to who I was before I’d read the phrase “I bled my moons blood” Rachel Gillig from henceforth is strictly forbidden from mentioning the female menstrual cycle ever again
Also this book is so predictable but I’m having such a good time and I know Benji is a freak and a psycho I just know

Also Benji is walking red flag he knows to much and I don’t trust anyone on a hunt for magical objects who’s smart idk

I feel this is a tad predictable but it’s almost so predictable that’s there’s no way I’m actually right, it may be a plant a classic bait and switch. Also the plot is very fun very different. I wish girlie didn’t have a bob tho it doesn’t fit the vibe

Very fun different plot! I really like this author BUT
Minor pet peeve is using words that would have been culturally impossible to know if it really is in fact another world- there can’t be a the word ___ was “christened” in a society without Jesus I KNOW I NITPICK it’s my truth tho an editor should have caught that

Predictions 1 ch in
-no way the dad survives the series
-twin bro for sure has **magic powers** he’s keeping secret
-the priest folk for sure know exactly who girlie is and are just waiting for shit to hit the fan


Saltcrest is a dumb name for a village

In a fit of rage I googled when does this book pick up and the world of Reddit says not till 75%??!!!?! Combined with the fact that I just read the main man in this book HAS MULTIPLE DICK PIERCINGS I SAID WTF BYE I chose this bc it wasn’t supposed to be ultra porno like tiktok be preaching but I was wrong DNF

okay maybe this is dumb but I hate the plot line of woman sold to man and has to escape the betrothal and girl is shocked by this situation-they didn’t have things like women’s right in this era so I don’t get how a 20yr old could expect a life of single hood-like if every woman is either married or clergy how did fmc expect to be the one outlier?? I know she’s *not like other girls* but it irritates me

I do have one pet peeve-how can the color Egyptian Blue exist if Egypt in this world does not exist DONT ADD UP I hate when books do that I know it’s dumb but I am who I am
