Was Ragnar a hat pull

I really like the depiction of this little moon being a pincushion. Super cool descriptions and mini world building

What the helly

Okay this is actually dope. Far less class consciousness for teens or whatever I called it earlier. I love this idea of “I tried plague and cure” etc etc etc and “Pheromones in the air filters” very cool indeed.

GAGGED AGAIN wdym you’re taking her to Lykos

Pierce Brown please tell me what role the fallopian tubes play in siring a gold heir. You could have named literally any other reproductive anatomy and I wouldn’t have questioned it.

Gagged at the fitchner development here 😱😱😱😱

Lowkey the story is getting a little bit good (the writing remains terrible)

Ok here’s an example of a problem I read in EVERY PARAGRAPH.
“A crimson chair with the most uncomfortable back”. Tell me why.. are there spikes in it? Is it strangely curved? Don’t say “I’m uncomfortable”, tell me why and let me imagine just how uncomfortable you must be to sit in that chair.
Maybe this chair is a weak example but shit writing like this is constant.

Do you guys ever read a romance book and think ‘oh yeah, this author is a virgin for sure’ ?

The queens son is the teacher calling it now and she ends up with him.

I HATE THIS BOOK BRO SHE IS A TERRIBLE WRITER

Also, the best pitt fighter in their city but her identity is secret and now she’s entering a competition to be the city’s champion to earn something she needs desperately and everyone thinks she’s just a girl and not an incredible fighter ?

I fear I’ve seen this trope before in a very popular and highly regarded book…..

OMG I HAVE PROOF NOW!!! The main character is 13…. 13. I swear to god this is evidence that the writer is only 15. Or 12.

I watch the wheels rotate inside my sisters head as she digests what’s happening

DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN

Ok ok either the author is 15 (forgivable) or she’s just genuinely a terrible writer (unforgivable).
I’m sorry but if this wasn’t for a book club I would have DNFed at page 20.

I know I’m very critical but I feel like the author is a teenager. I think some of the writing is off. “Standing intimidatingly to the side lies a building” and “the only sound remaining is the lava river” are such ?bad ?juvenile ?unimaginative things to say. I know I sound crazy but there’s so many examples of just boring and on the nose descriptions of things. VERY tell and not show which I fucking hate

Ahhhh yes, the only one of her kin with a different hair colour. “The same shade as every ravens, except mine” 😏😏

“His teeth inhumanly white” well duh you just told us he wasn’t human 2 seconds ago

A little too content for “a procreator”

Is this a girl or a boy

I just feel like random surprises aren’t good enough writing for me… maybe I’m just not a big sci fi girl. Plus I still think this author has such an underdeveloped understanding of the world’s problems but he thinks he’s so intelligent. But i acknowledge that I hate men in principle so this might be me being harsh.

It’s pretty good

Reading this for a little book club so I’ll be updating my reading lots hopefully with my thoughts so I have something to talk about at said book club

All good he’s still high Reeve

I think I can never love this the way I love manacled but I will try my best. I’m on page 6 and my stomach and heart genuinely yearn to re-read manacled (the best thing I have ever had the pleasure to read).
But if ‘high reave’ has been swapped for ‘high necromancer’ this book doesn’t have a chance. And why wasn’t she doing maths and chemistry in her cell. What is this “walking paths” and shit

This is SUCH A SLOG IM SORRY WILLOW I’m going to lock back in and see if it’s actually fire and I’m just lazy

“Eo could have given us the child we always wanted” always? You were 16. There is something so strange about a grown man romanticising teen marriage and pregnancy and calling it scifi

Sorrrrryyy but this is giving mansplaining class consciousness for the blind middle class teen 😕

‘Bloodydamn’ 😐
