depressing as hell. happy women’s month!

reading 4 books at once. what could go wrong :)

i've seen a lot of fans of leigh bardugo's other work not liking this series but so far it's very fun. i don't like the characters as much as those in her other books, but the plot and vibes are there.

everyone in this book is insufferable

“I wonder what you have to do to become a cop. I wonder what a badge is, other than a license to steal.”

“The National Guard has been activated to restore order, and I suppose it might. But I suspect that in the short term, it will only add to the chaos. What else could another group of well armed people do in such an insane situation . . . Of course, some will discover that they enjoy their new power—the power to make others submit, the power to take what they want. . . .”

“To me, though, security in Olivar isn’t much more attractive than the security Keith has finally found in his urn.”

“And there would be all those guards,” I said. “I’ve noticed that people who have a little bit of power tend to use it. . . . When it comes to strangers with guns,” I told her, “I think suspicion is more likely to keep you alive than trust.”

“In New York and New Jersey, a measles epidemic is killing people. Measles!”

“I heard about the measles,” Joanne said. “Strange. Even if people can’t afford immunizations, measles shouldn’t kill.”

oh so this (the US) IS the bad place!

“Still raining. No thunder today, though there was some last night. Steady drizzle, and occasional, heavy showers all day. All day. So different and beautiful. I’ve never felt so overwhelmed by water. I went out and walked in the rain until I was soaked. Cory didn’t want me to, but I did it anyway. It was so wonderful. How can she not understand that? It was so incredible and wonderful.”

decided to squeeze in one last book for 2025. i finished last year with an appalachia book so it only felt right to do the same this year

everyone mind your business ok
