I’m picturing the paintings Anguish and The Orphan by August Friedrich Schenck and it is twisting my gut.

“I wonder which is crueler; to kill one of the shaky-legged fawns before it’s even had a chance to outgrow its white spots, or to kill the mother and leave her children to fend for themselves?”

“Maybe he’s as panicked as I am. I try to imagine it—fear passing across his cold, stoic face. Strangely enough, this makes me feel better, picturing his terror at the thought of losing me. Maybe enough fear can add up to love.”
oh bb noo

Ok, so, I don’t know why but I was under the impression that Inesa was going to have some kind of sneaky survival skills. I can’t count on both hands how many times someone has said “Inesa, RUN!” while she just stands there quite literally like a deer in the headlights.

Oh look, another reason for me to hate Henry

What do you MEAN “part 3, chapter 46” and I’m barely halfway through the book?? How massive is this thing IRL???

OH THANK GOD

“It’s got a redundant RAID array with more memory storage than anyone would ever need!”

Don’t you think that phrasing itself is a little…redundant? 🤣

Am I the only one stressed that we’re doing a lotttt of talking to Rocky (yes understandably ofc) and not a lot of,,,saving the world?

Why did it take her THIS LONG to figure this out

This miscommunication/lack of communication thing is reallyyyy starting to piss me off

This is getting repetitive

“My Diem” “she’ll be a doting mother very soon” Aemonn skeeves me out

Henry you fucking moron

God, Henry sucks. I’ve always known that but damn.

What the fuck is going on

Am I supposed to like any of these characters at this point?

Ok NOW we’re getting somewhere

“Skin in the game” ???? This phrase feels so out of place here.

“You look sad. “
“Reaching sexual maturity and going back to wearing diapers in the same week will do that to you.“

“Going into heat” ??? She’s not a fucking dog?? I get it but I HATE IT

I don’t understand their relationship and I don’t like it.

Way too much talk of “juice”

Are we “I’m-not-like-other-girls”-ing AND speaking in rhyme, or am I crazy?

I think the name “Kingfisher” is somehow better than whatever the hell that was

“We don’t want to loot them,” Carrion said, disgusted. “We need something from one of them. In your shoes, I can see how, well, no, wait, satyrs don’t wear shoes, do you. Let us check that body, and we’ll be out of your hair. I mean fur. I mean—”
“Carrion, stop talking.”
Carrion stopped talking.

Idk why this is killing me lmao

“Unfortunately for you, Swift, my sexuality doesn’t lean in your direction.” “That’s okay. The thing about leaning is that it’s *very* unstable. The ground could shift, and you could find yourself leaning in a completely different direction at any moment. I myself have experienced all kinds of leanings.” Bi king Carrion Swift the MAN YOU ARE

“Where else would an acolyte kneel to worship, but at the altar of his god?”
