I’m still mad and infuriated. The prose remains beautiful and heartbreaking. Probably the most important book I’ve read this year.

This book is so stressful, but the prose is so beautiful that this entire reading experience is tragic.

Don’t tell me anything but I’m hardcore manifesting a Farmer Oak endgame ok 😭

Re-reading bc idk when Denis is gonna make Dune 3 🥸🤣

I’m attracted to Harry even though he’ll never want me. I’m ok with that.

I am already struggling with how women are portrayed. Was Ken Liu just that good at smoothing it over in the first one, or is the text of this one just unsalvageable?

- Miao Fuquan's mistress from Sichuan is referred to as "the Sichuan woman".

- Zhang Yuanchao's wife is simply referred to as "your old lady".

- Luo Ji's fling is called "the woman"; he only remembered her name after she died in front of him.

The audacity of Aiyi to get mad at her brother for doing something she is also doing lmaoooo

I’ve been listening to stride piano for immersion.

Refresher course for FHH.

Finally reading the unabridged version after all this time.

That feel when you have all these dreams, then you remember you’re a woman of no privilege wandering alone in the 1700s 🤡 Very immersive writing and Whelan is a gem of a narrator.

DNF. Did not grip me like the last few books did.

OMG SUE LYNN TAN YOU DID NOT 🥲

I struggle to take this book seriously thanks to the 72483938 internet memes, and the fact that he kinda goes on and on (to the point of TMI). Dropping for now.

Re-reading to prep for the sequel 🥸👩🏻‍💻

Tam-lame getting played in his own court like a clown 🤡🤡🤡🤡

King of Hybern is just here for the drama honestly. LMAO.
