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

petition to ban lawyers from fantasy novels

ok so this book is undeniably good and atmospheric but oh my gosh I’m bored

the secret history mention

will we ever truly know

spooky season

holy shit I hate this book

I’m distressed

a 3.52 average for this book is insane. I’m having so much fun and this is so lush. I’m scared it’s gonna take some massive downturn but I’m really liking it so far :)

binging half of this in one night. haven’t been this addicted to a book in a hot minute.

I’m convinced that people who loved this book are not people that actually like to read / read regularly

this is fine so far

what the hell is happening

actually having so much fun with this

"of that sad Italy for which Nisus died, / and Turnus, and Euryalus, and the maid Camilla."

that's gene and them!!!!! (tiktok audio, please ignore my brainrot showing)

giving me piranesi vibes so far

no one is doing family sagas like my girl amy

criminally boring

great news, I remembered how to read. but he completed his journey underworld so can I quit

new self imposed rule is that i have to finish this book before i can start another

I’m stressed!

this book is singlehandedly reviving my faith in romantasy

so weird

what the hell is happening

writing is still a little clunky at times, but i'm really enjoying the characters and plot enough to look past it

read 2 hours worth in one sitting. world building is the tiniest bit clunky and there's some comma issues but the arc i'm reading is a pretty early copy, so that's to be expected i think. very good so far!

one inconvenience away from binge rereading aftg

no idea how this is gonna wrap up in 27%

making my relaxing hobby of crochet extremely unrelaxing
