you’ve known each other for about five minutes you cannot possibly be in love already

I forgot how much I loved YA fantasy 🥹

samantha shannon is ruthless goddamn

Moncharmin and Richard are gay lovers no one can change my mind

Raoul had better be dead by the end of this book or I’m going to be annoyed

Raoul is the pick-me of classical literature

I don’t understand reading this book and not hating Raoul

I’ve literally never felt this betrayed in my entire life and it’s on behalf of a fictional character 😭

the STRESS that comes with reading the last 100 pages of a fantasy book 😭
