Oh yeah, I should probably have already read Slaying the Vampire Conquerer... oops

30% through and there have been 4 different fade to black fall unconscious scenes. Y'all. Get. It. Together.

Honestly even though I should have seen this coming I was not expecting the surprise romantic tension. His disdain was described so heavily and so often that I was perfectly convinced.

I have notes.

I knew this was going to be heavy because Buehlman had given us some hints and glimpses of the horrors of the daughter's war. I don't know if I have the mental fortitude right now to finish this.

If this romantic set up were any more ham-fisted it would need a glaze. Much like the glaze of my eyes as the FMC literally listed all of the qualities in a man she would find attractive. This is a pretty major let down so far.

More than halfway through this massive tome. Still can't really tell if I actually enjoy this book or if I'm just too invested and knee-deep in sunk-cost fallacy to give up.

Oh my god this is going to end on some gut-wrenching cliff hanger isn't it...

😳 Wow. I really hope they nail the ending because this has been very very good so far.

I love a captivating beginning. Also eeeeee didn’t realize that Shane East was one of the narrators he’s a favorite of mine. Although it’s a bit jarring hearing him say naughty things after The Queen’s Thief’s chasteness.

Nothing is happening and the writing is... something

😬

I’m having a pretty difficult time keeping track of the POV characters in this. I feel like the characterization hasn’t been distinct enough for me to really get a grasp on who is talking now but then again it’s so early in the book so hopefully it becomes more apparent later on.

I know you can crush me like a grape between your massive lady-knight thighs but I love imagining what your laughter sounds like

I'm really digging this so far. Great characterization and self-deprecating humor.

How could you Celene, HOW COULD YOU!!!!!!!

Now I'm just immediately skeptical anytime anything good happens to our main trio.

Something is not quite right in the House de Lyon. The author is doing a great job at building suspense even though we KNOW bad things are about to go down. I just want to see Selene again, I miss our creepy cannibal sister.

This book does not need to be this long.

*Biting the bars of my enclosure*

If Emily Wilde and Babel had a book baby...

Is she gonna... With The Beast? Bryony don't puss out and wait until he's human pleaaase.

Reading with my eyes because this narrator is... not my favorite

This world is SO COOL!

Abercrombie's descriptions are almost getting a bit nauseating. I guess that's the point but it sure is a lot of gore.

Oh shit oh fuck oh shit, Pierce you wouldn't that is just cruel. Wait, no, you would. Bastard. The tension is so palpable and invigorating that I have had to stop listening multiple times because I'm so nervous.
