"You [...] leave me quite at odds with sanity."

Nice way to describe the insanity... becoming completely deranged and all that... yeah

“Sometimes it felt like there was far too much knowledge out there in the world to waste my time sleeping when I could be discovering it; other times I wanted nothing more than to close my eyes and rest, but my brain recycled inanities regardless.”

Best description of insomnia I’ve ever read or heard.

“She grinned up at me as we descended the stairs to the kitchens, and I knew in that moment that Eurydice had not resented Orpheus for looking back at her as they walked out of the Underworld. If his smile had been anything like Kitty's, she would have been thankful for a glimpse of it, regardless of her fate.”

Long quote, I know Ali, but it’s an Orpheus and Eurydice reference!! Also, page 11, mind you.

Not a shot-out to the Vitamin String Quartet for providing her a soundtrack to write the book… 👁️👄👁️ So you’re telling me I unintentionally read the book listening to the intended soundtrack. 😳

“She doesn't want to make anyone sad, or hurt, or worried. But the feelings feel too big.”

Straight to the heart, Lady Rosalie. 🥺

I can't stop reading these. I need a thousand more sapphic regency period dramas, so get to work my dear lady authors.

"Score one for female hysterics."

No, Amalie, they did not spend a lot of their time together talking...

There are always more of them, Rosalie, you never get rid of men. 😭

Bring back lovely and dirty letters! Bring back closing the letter with "yours ardently"!!

A PINKY BRUSH! THE pinky brush!!
My goodness, I love regency period dramas.

Catherine having beef with the British Museum? Of course the archaeological finds should be returned to the Greek, babe, you are the most sensible person in that table.

YESSS!!! TEASING WHILE COMPLEMENTING EACH OTHER WHILE MAKING OUT!!!

Having words to name things about one's self is so damn important. Wdym you are calling yourself "unnatural" because it is "how it's discussed".
Also, Cristopher is an amazing brother, I love him.

Sapphics and bathrooms (or water closets) and that moment being their favorite part of the evening... in 1817 and in 2026 (sadly, but maybe not quite, but it is sad).

Catherine was, indeed, pretending to pursue your tastes, Lady Rosalie (or should I delete de final s?).

“She appreciates a good shelf. Bosoms are pleasing to look at.”

Why, of course, that’s not a homosexual thought, Catherine… like at all.

Hot and bothered, I see… Also, can the list of compliments be longer for someone you supposedly hate, dear Catherine?

AT LAAAAST!!!
Thanks Ali and Mamen for putting up with me these past months, I know it's been intense.

"I think I saw you in the most wonderful dream."
"Yes, I know you in my soul, just as I know those two."

Candide, Diana and Grace mothered so hard... Like, they were there for two seconds but they mothered. 🥺

Not even a second after finishing the first one, I started this one. You cannot finish the previous book like that and expect me to be patient...

Loving that this random priestess that officiates secret marriages is a consent queen. Go girl!

Oh how I love me some good ol' banter... 😌

I'm not sure I love the writing style, but I'm enjoying this a lot. I mean... magic, fae, dragons, fairy tale retelling... EVERYTHING

“It was just a crazy idea, I guess. That we could both get to do what we need to do and still be together.”

NOT THE LA LA LAND TWIST!! PLEASEEEE 😭

Everyone here, except Gabby [I love you babygirl, you're doing great], is getting on my nerves. 😫

My baby Percy choosing the prophecy to spare my baby Nico... he truly is the best (male) hero of his generation. 🥺

"You promised you would protect her."

Fuck, Nico!! 😭😭😭

SALLY JACKSON DESERVES THE WORLD!!!

"I do not approve of your friendship with my daughter."

Uf Atenea, no te queda ná...
