Still 100% convinced His Majesty is secretly a person I just KNOW it

When I finish this book I’m either going to learn how to play Go or disappear into the ocean forever. There’s no other options

Pausing this for now cause it’s simple NOT hitting as hard as I think it can

New year new me (I started the bookclub book slightly late instead of comfortably early)

Part of me feels like this story is so vast that I just can’t oversee it anymore which is taking away some of my enjoyment

In this book, Kaladin faces his most terrifying enemy yet: depression

When a book has your favourite trope but the writing style is Not It

Absolutely FASCINATING ideas about women’s bodies and self-determination are being dropped left and right even if I don’t always catch all of them

Name a better trope than one last job. I’ll wait

I want less plot and more just straight vibes

Gutting when you come up with a really good plot but the book has other plans

The descriptions of returning to a place you once called home only to find it both the same and completely different are so heartbreaking

The jumping around in time and between characters honestly makes it hard to really care about this story

People who will notice when your evil twin sister takes over your body: your dog, the teenager you adopted six months ago
People who will not notice: your literally psychic best friends of 20 years

A man’s sister telling you not to marry him cause he’s a dick is truly the biggest red flag in history

Extremely slow going cause this is a book that deserves to be savoured

Really suspect men just need to start acting normal towards their first wives. Second wives have enough to deal with without being haunted all the time

Wasn’t loving the writing style at first but I’m starting to see the vision

Someone explain to me why we’re not just leaving Grimes in hell and getting tf out of there. What is the point

Really don’t understand why the setting is hell when the themes are about academic inequality. Like why am I being told about this instead of experiencing it with Alice

I’m getting low key exasperated with Cyrus at certain points and I can’t tell if that’s on purpose or not

Is it just me or is Daisy Jones. A boring character

Books with lyrical writing will get me every time fr

Literally BEGGING for someone to explain polyamory to Shallan, Adolin, and Kaladin. They'd love it

I relate to Shallan because I, too, am great at disassociating and get hearteyes whenever Adolin enters the room

This book makes the reader work really hard and I’m just hoping the payoff will be worth it

Unique, strange and fascinating

This is an absolutely delightful book in so many different ways

I don’t always understand the connection between different stories in one chapter but I do feel them

Every story makes me go batshit insane in its own unique way I’m having a wonderful time
