We’re so back

I wrote a paper on this in 12th grade English class that I found like last week and I’m desperate to reread this again to see if I really knew wtf I was gabbin about

I feel like I’m about to go on one hell of a journey

I can sense the emotional trauma I’m about to endure. I can smell it. I can taste it.

I am not well

This is fucking me UPPPPPP

I finally finished Red Rising so I can get my soul irreparably damaged by this book

After The Will of the Many, I am moving this up on my list and beginning it now.

Oh this book so far is NOTHING like I thought it’d be… in the best way. Super hesitant at first but this turning out to be such a beautiful story?????

I am both holding onto this book for dear life and also trying to inhale this story at the same time because it’s so FREAKING good. I have no idea what’s going on and I LOVE IT

Can’t talk I’m BUSSSSSYYYYYY

I fear I’m like 60% away from DNFing this 🫠 I am desperately bored

I cannot excuse the person I’m about to become after this book

Oh….. this is so good, already

This book is an EASY 5 stars. Not even done and I don’t need anything else to know this fact

Charlie Florek!!! You’re making me BLUSH

Oh I’m fucking SATTTTTTT I feel alive again, finally reading something that’s exciting me

Someone at my Barnes messed up and put this on shelves a week early so HEHE it’s my time

I’m out to dinner and I’m thinking about this book. We’re so back, baby

Taking my sweet time because this is, in my opinion, Kuang’s best writing yet. Also quite dense, more dense than Babel but I also think it’s extremely subjective based on the subject matter itself (Babel, for ME, was a bit tougher than this but I can see how this would be a LOT for people)

I cannot comprehend how I got this ARC. Thank you so much Harper Collins & Harper Voyager!!!! Not even kidding, no one SPEAK TO ME until I’m done

If this book doesn’t WOW me, I’m not finishing this series because Iron Flame was a heap of trash

Reading this, a translated work, while also reading a book that discusses heavily the aspects of how translation’s are essentially an act of violence on the original, and in some way a betrayal is…. An interesting place to be in

This FMC is reading like a neurodivergent, the love interest is a sassy mf who reminds me of Howl from Howl’s Moving Castle; I’m GIGGLING already

I love cozy fantasy

Also I need to say that the SECOND Kelsier came into the story, I knew he was going to be a favorite. Don’t let me down bro

I started this on audio while also reading Babel because I’m a masochist

Oh so far I’m just MAD which I know is the point but wow
