will be finishing this book if it kills me

something sooooo gross just happened ❤️

jesus these deaths are INSANE !!

this death is so crazy I had to document it for my future self

‘The spear went through his neck, just at the very top part of his backbone, and sliced through both its tendons - and his head flew off, face-down, nose down, and hit the ground before his legs collapsed on top of it.’

omg zeus sucks so bad

if I have to read one more exposition dump I am going to scream

I feel like this is so weirdly written? but idk if it’s the translation or the work itself

my GOD these people love to monologue !!!

absolutely hated that last one. I’m low-key disgusted

the nature of a short story collection is that each one ends on a cliffhanger, which is actually very unsatisfying to read 😭

jesus christ

‘He was well acquainted with the deathly emptiness that followed the end of a life, an echo of silence where sound should have been. That’s what it felt like outside his brother’s room now, like a body waiting to drop.’

‘Recently, a few months earlier, I had seen a banana peel lying on the cobblestones, and I’d stood awhile to wait and see what would happen, but no one slipped on it. The residents of Zurich were of course too shrewd to slip on a banana peel.’

reading a book for a boy does NOT align with my spirit
