I’ve damn near consumed this in one sitting

The BRILLIANCE in reference to I swear if I could teach a writing about music class this would be mandatory reading!!

This book is a dream and beyond pleasant to read! However I think I may be in a small group of people this book was absolutely written for HA

CHATER 54 IS ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS IVE EVER READ AND IM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW MY FUCKING GODS

Make one more vulgar gesture I swear lmao

I have to praise the consistency of Maas’ writing style. It makes it feel so immersive- I can’t help comparing this book to the last and the way it’s written is so smoothly, the way Feyre is experiencing things and reflecting them is just 🤌

I think it’s a writing style thing but I can’t tell of the use of male and female is meant to be like, inclusive or not? It wouldn’t be noticeable if it weren’t used so often it Alamo feels like Mass runs out of ways to describe folks

Tamlin is a FUCKING COWARD

Like bruh you gave up you ho Feyre is a million times braver than him and they put all the weight of responsibility on her but he was the one not taking the last few steps

Tale as old as tiiiiiiime

I’m just having pure fun~

I already know a few spoilers and ooooooooo we’re getting serious

God it’s so good. The PACING is just amazing and is only highlighted after coming from a book I hated oh my gosh it’s just enjoyable

I just adore the way the whole story builds and it’s just ENJOYABLE

See THIS is actually interesting, everything is easy to take in and throughly entertaining. I’m
Just happy to have some FUN with a book after 2 back to back DNF

Into a good chunk of this book and frankly just annoyed like this is a mess and suuuuuch a slow start. NOT TO MENTION the actual use of actual Mayan people.

Anyone who says the romance comes out of nowhere is a dang fool the attraction these two have is intense af

The way Johann speaks to Florian is everything

I’m thrilled to feel unsure of who to trust at this point! This is beyond enjoyable.

Really enjoying how the details are starting to pan out! The hesitance to trust between the parties narrating is good tension for now and I’m hoping it doesn’t drag too long. Otherwise the immersion is delightful and enjoyable!

Loving the set up! I’m always excited when a story sets me up quickly it helps so much with getting the immersion going for my experience

About to DNF this book. Shea child who just had her first period is going to fuck the man she relies on for not just education but companionship and I’m supposed to what, enjoy that?

HES FANTASIZING ABOUT HER THIGHS AND PERSONAL BITS I HATE IT

UGH he kissed her right after her first period?! And then when he says she may be too young LETS her talk him out of it. I’m so grossed out. Like he knows better AND she relies on him…

These moments where we see how other people look at Kaya really kind of gross me out, there’s ways to make these interactions seem safe and there’s something about them that’s very off putting instead. And I get maybe we aren’t supposed to feel safe or she isn’t supposed to feel safe but like even moments that SHOULD feel good for her don’t.

Uggggh ok yeah an age gap of 4 or 5 years isn’t bad- BUT HEN BOTH CHARACTERS ARE ADULTS!! Great Tates back but the book emphasized he’s at least 18 and recognized she’s 13 or 14 and he can see the womanhood coming into her body.

Ok not loving the way I feel like this book may end up utilizing the Magical Negro troupe. Like really the ONLY people who want to help this girl are a black man and his fat (which is emphasized) wife?? Took me out of it so fast, especially in juxtaposition to the pretty (again EMPHASIZED) white preachers wife who doesn’t want her daughter even touching Kaya.

So far the setting is the star, the way the marshy swampy world is portrayed is just beautiful

Ah yes my favorite trope; misunderstanding

I can let go of that once or twice but at the freaking wedding?! I’m sorry why does she have to be embarrassed like that come oooon.

Yo the parents died that FAST?! I’m shooketh

NOT THE CAMERAS

Fast paced and solid chemistry so far, granted with the normal expected amount of suspension of belief needed for anything this spicy but nothing so serious as to take me out of the story

So far reading this is beautifully unsettling. The way Ren narrates makes her feel a world away, an alien explaining the human experience. This is my reaction to the narration style but it’s clearly designed to illicit some kind of reaction, and moments of dialog between any characters, Ren included, feel so much more warm and human that you almost wouldn’t believe you’re reading the same book.
