Ok so I don’t know how to be normal about this

Errr no I did not start the wrong book out of order thanks for asking

This book is a lesson in dramatic irony- but only if you’ve read the first book 😂

The subtle accent shift is just 😩

Ugh this book is so perfect for me I can’t deal

Off the charts yearning!!! ‘His soul bore her brand, the wound deep and blackened and scarred over. From the day he left Los Ojuelos, a part of him knew that his life was now a game of second bests. Of good-enoughs. A meager harvest grown in the long shadow of her absence.’

‘That’s right Darlington, talk Dante to me.’ 😩

Boy oh boy am I excited for this descent

one word: glowstick

Huh ok well I didn’t expect this level of dark

Why is everyone in this book either immortal, dead, pretending to be dead, or resurrected???

49 minutes of tears to go

The last scene still takes my breath away a year later 😩

Oh Bartholomew, how will I reread you 🥲

Googling medieval trephines as we speak

Was wondering why I couldn’t sync the audio up with my kindle, turns out I’ve been listening to the abridged version this whole time- fuming 🤦🏼‍♀️ So do I continue or restart? I hate that this has happened.

This is some good soup

So far so ouch

‘Like Sam and Frodo’ is this room underwater or what

I love how all the Byrds are just big cry babies

My hopes for this book: that I cry ugly tears🤞🏻

Sitting on a bench in a park in the Peak District, watching some ducks, reading my book in the sunshine ☀️

I’m so hooked it’s not even funny

The further I get into my re-read the more I appreciate the furor over the casting

Hmm I’m not hooked, but I will persevere

My first book of the summer holidays and I have high expectations!

‘He opened the door, quite expecting to find her dead. He thought wildly of where he would bury her. He would plant Frostbells on her grave and water them with his tears.’ Oh Ostric you big softie, you forgot to be a scary assassin again.

Love that the trigger warning for this is the Napoleonic Wars

It’s reread time 🙌🏻

A pixie cut is not what I was imagining
