I absolutely hate the husbands in this book, they are actually the bloody worst. Carter is such a manipulative asshole and I'm so mad that he's made their kids think Patricia is crazy for being worried about a stranger killing children.

Mariana come on gal! Why on earth do you think it's the Professor? That's far too easy!

What on earth happens in the last 200 odd pages that's left in this book? What on earth have they got left to do?!

YASSSSSSS BECKY WELL DONE GAL I BELIEVE IN YOU! FINALLY PUTTING THAT IDIOT IN HIS PLACE!

Fuck Jack, bloody hate this man. He makes me want to throw the book at the wall. And also fuck Debby for submitting to such a toxic man time and time again and constantly making excuses for him. He's threatening to take her kids away because she hangs with her cousin! Kari isn't perfect, and her cousin makes some valid points about her, but Kari wants the best for her. Jack just wants a maid/mum.

Jack is a fucking asshole - Debby needs to bin him or give him an ultimatum because his behaviour is shocking

I'm annoyed with this book, but also intrigued. Annoyed by the characters (the main character Kari is okay, but her cousin is so frustrating, and don't get me started on her controlling dickhead husband), but the mystery of what really happened to Kari's mum is keeping me hooked for now.

I knew that this book would make me mad, but I'm so made that I want to invent time travel so I can go back in time and violently castrate King James, changing the future be damned.

It's giving cult

I really hate Lowell, he's actually the fucking worst.

Rich entitled white man.

Poor Robin, sweet nervous Robin.

To be fair to Robin, scones are amazing, and I would also love to assume scones as the Platonic ideal of bread. Perhaps shortbread can be the Platonic ideal of biscuits? Much to ponder.

The abbess is evil - I'll bet next months wages on it

I'm already loving this book. All of the characters are wonderful, but I am loving Vera so much <3

I understand that this is beloved fantasy story, but I'm finding it a little flat. I think the magic system, how it operates, is very clear and I enjoy this aspect, but I feel a lot of the writing is telling me how things are and what is happening, rather than showing. I do wonder though if this is just a writing style preference/change - it is nearly 60 years old.

While I'm enjoying the premise, the writing is still giving 'wattpad story written by a 15/16 year old' - it is getting better, but I'm not sold on it

"Nav, show them what the Ninth House does"

"We do bones Motherfucker"

- Excellent, absolutely no notes

Why has it taken me so long to read this book? It's wonderful <3

Gideon's gay panic is hilarious

"I haven't agreed to stone cold dick" - Gideon the Ninth

Howling.

Not going to lie, already loving Gideon and her banter, chuckling away while reading.

Gosh, I love how petulant Natalie Haynes makes Aphrodite, Hera and Athena seem. I actually feel quite sorry for Paris, spoiled young man that he is.

I am obsessed with Nanny Ogg - genuinely think is the most wonderful character, and she has become one of my favourite literary characters in any genre anywhere. I love her.

Okay, starting this, I was instantly annoyed that the FMC and the MMC are only 18 and 20. I just don't find their respective roles believable, even in a fantasy setting. BUT he's just decided to MAKE HER A DRESS to go to the dinner she's been invited to so he can get into her good books and fake woo her. I'm strapped in - I think I'm going to like Gideon.

I have never known a truer definition of 'love to hate' than I do with this book. One moment I'm loving it, the next I hate it, but I'm now desperate to see how it ends regardless. There is something about Kidan that I can't place my finger on - she feels special in some specific way. Why did she feel J.K. die? We shall see if it comes out in this book or not.
