for english class

i was worried this was going to be a poor money making gimmick, but so far i LOVE it. i adore the original characters and am curious about the new ones. im sorry for doubting you, schwab.

i’m way to close to finishing. i don’t even have words.

the cinematography is better than in actual films. i can SEE the scenes

does anyone have any ya fantasy recs like cruel prince or how to train your dragon? i’m about to finish my book and i really want a fun fantasy for the spring. currently considering twin crowns or maybe shadow and bone, though i feel that’s more winter than spring 🤷‍♀️

section 10-chapter 5.

"It was the last thing she heard"
don't do this to me.

“lila held up her hands, as if in surrender, before flashing a vicious smile.”
I LOVE HERRR

forcing myself to step away to make something for a friend. but the fact i read nearly 200 pages in one night (after a months long reading slump) is a sign of how incredible this book is

“rhy watched his brother move toward her as naturally as if the world had simply tipped. for kell, apparently, it had”

i love them stop ❤️‍🩹

“i will not lose my sons to this”
“riding through the gate as the rest of the estate came crumbling down”
“he simply pressed his lips to her hair and said, ‘As Tascen’”
“but rhy kept his word. he didn’t let go.”

WHO TOLD SCHWAB THIS WAS OKAY?

“a spell she’d sung to rhy a hundred times when he was young”

it’s too early for tears.

i’m scared to finish it.

got my peppermint tea, calm music, thunderstorm. ready for a calm reading session. open the book and…”kell strolled the night market for the first time in weeks”. i audibly gasped.

my jaw DROPPED.

the sarows scene on the copper thief >>>

“i apologize for shooting you in the leg. i was myself entirely”
oh lila how i love you.

“‘please’ he added. ‘please go through me’”
oh my gosh i hate these twins so much. a literal child would rather die than continue to serve them.

“i’d rather die on an adventure than live standing still” lila ily

me bc i have peppermint tea, it’s snowing, my favorite hobby is writing, and gracie abrams is singing

how 2026 is going:
• won honorable mention in scholastic writing awards
• i need glasses now ig
• started “the chosen”
• me and my friends are making a movie
• planning out my classes for next year
and it’s only the third week 😨

this book is genuinely SO good. i can’t properly convey how amazing it is right now (im sleepy ☹️) but just know that between the immaculate world building and the unique characters, im having more fun than ive had in months
