“Repository. You know this word? A resting place. A text - a book - is a resting place for the memories of people who have lived before. A way for the memory to stay fixed after the souls has traveled on.” Eeeeeee I think I’m gonna enjoy this book this is giving major fantasy curious whimsical adventure energy

“He was gripped with terror, understanding now what it really meant to love something. That to love a person was to forfeit the need to place limits on them, and therefore to love was to coexist in a constant, paralyzing threat.” Jesus. Also I’m a little bit stressed

“But the body cannot come back, it cannot rebuild itself. It cannot suffer a loss and become what it was before. She cannot be, even in resurrection, what she was in life” very beautiful nice

Ughhhhhhhhh I want this to end but i can’t give up now

Jesus

This is like continuously getting more and more difficult to read

This is an uncomfortable read that is for sure. making my way through slowly it is just lowkey hard to read sometimes after a long school day when i want a break. this book is not a break

“Today, everyone I love is together and alive. Tomorrow, that might not be the case. I understand how easy it is to dwell in the aftermath of all your worst fears. To spend every day bracing for tomorrow’s pain. But, Essiya, you can’t survive in the future. You don’t exist there yet.” Love it

“Life does not allow you opportunities to travel down every path, to see the outcome of every choice. You can spend your entire existence frozen in one spot, squinting into the future, or you can decide to move.”

Wow like this is the best enemies to lovers I’ve read in a while wow just read SUCH A TENSE SCENE

Wow I actually despise Beth - and Gabriel too - so much it’s like lowkey ruining the book a little bit for me.

I want to cry I know this feeling and it sinks your stomach ugh like not even crazy things happening really yet I just idk dude I know this feelingggg it just sinks your stomach. Making me feel compassionate for Beth. This book is definitely making me feel things I just don’t know if I like them tbh

She’s already really fucking pissing me off I do not (underlined!!!) like her. Or Gabriel. Frank is the only one I like. Is this what’s supposed to be happening idk

"You think your mind is a blank slate, where you can build your own networks of information from scratch, through pure logic and reason. You ignore that each child enters a completely unique world, founded on different truths. We build our reality on the foundation our world sets for us." #lovingit. also theres more to this qoute i wanna add but theres a word limit so fml because its beautiful but this will have todo

Also I like the gargoyles. And I like how everyone at the cathedral is actually family - most of the time in books like these I expect brutality or violence to somehow give the character “plot armor” or backstory in a sense, but I throughly enjoy the loveliness going on. Of course I’m only barely in

Barely in and already living for this sisterhood going on. I love women

This book makes me stare off into space and think and feel

Quite dense yet quite thrilling

Watched the docuseries on this many moons ago but never read the book. Love nonfiction stuff like this excited

oh my god???
