alma :( and oh kier :( AND OH MY GOD MY COTTAGE!

honestly if there was a bad ending, i wouldn’t have been surprised, but they deserve peace:’) i love that they did NOT forget to address kier’s grief of freedom

“there will be no second death” uh oh
AND YAYYY FOR LIKE 10 PAGES BUT SOMETHING BAD IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN!!!

GAG STATION!!! it just keeps getting WORSE oh my GOD when i thought the tension was already thick and that things were bad, THEYRE EVEN MORE BAD!! AND WE’RE ON THE LAST LEG!! oh my god i KNEW IT i knew that mf wasn’t GONE but bad news they’re BOTH gonna be gone i just KNOW IT OH MY GODDD HOZIER HELP THEM!!

scaelas :( AND DEADASS? DEADASS? usually they don’t EVER go through with it but OH MY GOD DEADASS WAIT THIS IS THAT TITLE ITS THE TITLE

it’s nice seeing torrin and grey bonding :3 Bad to know They are Cooked

HOOOLY FUCK KIER NOOOO oh my GOD grey GET IT!!!! GET IT!!!!! oh i cant wait for scaela and MAN grey is gonna kill everyone

sleepy but wow locke downfall lore drop!! but it feels so EARLY still.. and yeah kier yearning for grey We All Saw That literally a fish found in water but how lovely that he confessed anyways:’) and silly that grey could doubt herself.. and team deff knows!! fun so far but eh!! i wish grey and kier were a lil slower..wonder what this 2nd death is..

so much happening back to back AND GREY AND SELA ARE BONDING!!!! for every secret and truth told theres MORE secrets ans truth hidden, bc we knew grey had a Large sum of power from being the heir to the Power of Idistra BUT WOMAN YOURE CAUSING CATACLYSM!! i wonder if this implies that THIS is what happened to Locke, if she’s inherently responsible for the death of her family..and not her doubting kier’s love..

QUEER PEOPLE EXIST NORMALLY! also sela is so inch resting im so excited for her.. and i love the obsession and bond that Wells are implied to have but damn does grey know dada or..

THE PLOTTWIST? genuinely so shocked and gagged, i loved the redirection of the twist with ANOTHER smaller—yet still substantial—secret >:) very excited w how things are going…

starting off steady!! confession, i already read a bit on the train BUT reread and then read up to chapter 2 for the sake of consuming this book properly!! so good so far :) i enjoy grey and kiernan’s indisputable soul bond it’s so Tender and Intimate and then the tension is sosososo grrbhs

OH MY GOD THE BOOK IS THE ARCHIVE OF ROMANCE OHH MY GODD WHY DO I BELIEVE IN LOVE AGAIN

loved all the lil snippets (did skip the news articles & the part of anti-emrys essay…) and the SKETCHES and the VISUALIZATIONS and why did they make the fairy king HOT (i know that that was rhetorical heheh)

preston restraining himself…very good white man.. and ugh i love angharad no wonder effy LOVED her growing up, plus knowing all of the context behind the story, and then antonia feature!! most of this is just visualizations of stuff mentioned but Good fun Details

:’) the only memoir i’ve bought and read (besides ellie wiesel’s night; which may rewarrant a reread), so maybe more memoirs in the future? but either way this book is the 2nd book ever to make me tear up. she’s getting annotated when i get my hands on tabs

afterword & acknowledgements to be read! for now, thank you for helping me heal chanel :’) thank you for fighting

chanel talking about the other american events during the time that she was writing this 3 trump’s election, cosby, weinstein, nassar, the brutal comparison of brock to all those predators, and her words on philando castile’s murder and “If punishment is based on potential, privileged people will be given lighter sentences” AND THEN BROCK’S APPEAL? im so glad i took my time w this book, almost done3

i was wondering if she’d talk about her relationship w/ sex afterwards, then i was blessed to see her do a whole Overview of gently respecting, loving, and nourishing herself :) “maybe now, you are terrified… I am trapped, this is not how it’s supposed to be. Just remember: the temperature is slowly changing, you are adjusting. You will make it into that pond. With a little more time, you’ll be free.”

so sleepy. Yes Preston Yearn.. sinful lust.. and angharad and emyrys’s relationship :( i like when theres Confusing and Frankly upsetting nuance

i’m genuinely so moved, the sentence hearing was a GUT punch & then her aftermath BUT THEN the transition to the buzzfeed article?? chanel’s victim statement is what drove me to BUY the book like reading it online made me tear up!! but even then i forgot that it blew up for a moment, & was So moved by the bittersweetness of chanel accepting the sentencing, choosing to Move forward as best she can :( BLESS KATIE!!

i’m celebrating with you too chanel:’) her anxiety, pain, fear, dread, anger, and RELIEF i felt in tenfold!! i mean i knew the outcome but GOD i hope that on her worst days she rides out on this moment of victory and relief

i am realizing that i love mixed media in books, and even tho this is meant as a Novella with fun snippets and iconic visuals of the duology….i still am loving her!! so cutesies and SUCH a fun throwback to see in prestons Direct POV (kind of. sort of. diary entries dont look like that it’s just ava reid 1st person but I LOVEEE a man that denies it but is falling SO hard) and AND i love the art :)

guilty of tearing up at every other page where chanel’s family is involved; bravo for writing how GRUESOME and cruel the courtroom is, she makes it feel so sterile and Pulls us into her shoes and hagdgevevw!!!! shout out to her brief stay at RISD for print making, and then at philly w/ yer comedy show era shes so cool!! and GOD the elder sister syndrome and the devotion she has towards tiffy and her guilt for-

CHASE THEIR ASS!! CHASE THEM!!! and chanel feeling inadequate and inept and crying by a river #alsorelatable and UGH lucas :( hes such a sweetie but i miss tiffy
