i need to know if the author of this book is a star trek fan or if his eyebrows are just Like That because it’s haunting the otherwise incredible narrative for me

im gonna be real this is just slop for people who like ttrpgs. good for the post-gencon airplane ride

not to be shallow but this one’s kind of a slog through unrelenting major and minor misfortune and it is depressing the fuck outta me

two children are either dead or vampired at this point in the book and im still stuck on “jahoobies”

aw jeez

the magical realism in this bathtub baptism scene is losing me a little, reminder to reread

also obviously suspension of disbelief is necessary to get across the examination of the construction of race in america but i keep wondering whats like. happening in china for instance

immediately so confusing but i kind of love it

wym i’m out of spotify listening hours 👹 can someone rock agamemnon’s whole shit already

similarly cutesy like book 1 but i like this story better so far

this might be a DNF, it just feels like it was written for children

my spotify listening hours ran out but it’s ok bc idegaf about the romance happening rn

hey what the fuck is going on

this book is cute. i would die for sissix

i’m having purple prose problems

getting pasadena, st joseph, and belgrade mentions within the span of 5 min was a little insane

really obsessed with the way every time station admin chelar shows up the narration is like “she is huge and statuesque and beautiful and everyone is in love with her instantly”

can someone please hug breq

seivarden wants to ‘kneel to’ breq so bad it’s making her look stupid

ohhh i get it now <—- guy who is still really confused about what’s going on

making a second attempt at reading this now that i’m done with my qual

ok it’s growing on me but i think i just like jane more than paul

narrator’s progression is really reminding me of the first half of flowers for algernon
