Nooooo 😭 the children are trying so hard.

I wish my kobo let me write notes on comics but I can't highlight squat.

This first panel is so pretty <3

Can't believe I'm feeling bad for Akaza after what he did to my boy. Watching things crumble around you and not being able to change them is terrible.

Omg I'm so slow. Suddenly remembered a song from 84 years ago in reading rainbow about the drinking gourd showing slaves the way north. No wonder the humans have a sky based religion if this is a slavery allegory. Damn 😅

Work super dead so just reading. The cave made me want to shrivel 😱

If someone gets head in this series, someone else is going to die or be attacked. It's just the way. I'm getting the impression Sbrana is a marvel fan with all of this tone shifting. It'll be serious and someone's in danger but then we're all making jokes like we're not in peril. Sometimes it works and sometimes it feels off. I think I'll still put this one above the first one though.

Bro. Don't say good girl because she's drinking water 😭 that physically hurt me.

Dang, bodying everyone left and right.

Goodreads let me put quotes down already. I'm not a bot damn 😭

I can neither breathe nor move, but that's ok.

Julian please lol. It's nice to have a book I'm tempted to finish in a day. The cringe is still hurting me but it's so sad that I'm dying to know what happens next.

I had never heard of the god Priapus until now. I don't think I needed the knowledge. Humans have been exactly the same for two millennia 😑

What luck, the second book went on sale as soon as I finished the first one. The vibes are more fitting in this one, less odd cozy and more dread. I'm wondering if doing magic for humans amounts to drug use because it seems like Lore is getting vaguely addicted.

This is simultaneously cringy and problematic but also really sad. Its throwing me off.

I wanna make a bookstagram but I don't read in a way that's consumable for other people lol. I'll be like "guys I'm reading this book, it's so good! :D" And then I'll finish a dozen other books before finally coming back to it. Maybe I'll do it anyway lol. I don't need a big follower count, I just wanna take cute pics of what I read.

Alskdj I thought bro was going to be a surprise villain. He's a slave 💀 my prediction was so off.

Bestie focus. Lore is supposed to be a fugitive and instead we're being a horny bastard that gives away all our secrets.

What do you mean Onyx Storm won the romantasy category. I thought people didn't like that book cuz it ruined the pacing of the series? Fourth Wing ain't that high on my tbr so I guess I'll see what's up with it later.

So Kaneda's not only cocky but just a bastard, ok. Ignored his pregnant girlfriend to try to rape a random lady. Kei? I don't remember her name. I really don't care for this so I guess I won't continue after this volume. The pacing is weird. There's a bunch of chase scenes all the time for some reason. Akira is a bomb maybe? Big ol orb.

I don't use dms here but removing them seems dumb if its a feature everyone uses. Guess there's gonna be a migration.

Akira! Leave me alone!

I kept quoting the clip of the anime that became a meme so I figured I should actually read the source. I'm not vibing so far. I've never really been a fan of old timey scifi. Something about it is hard to get attached to. Kaneda is a bit too cocky for my liking. He's just abrasive and arrogant without any of the features that make cocky characters fun.

"I can't believe that worked!"

I can't believe it either. Avoiding being caught by the crown is turning out to be super easy. Barely an inconvenience. And now the children are bonding. But whyyy. I wish there was more actual scenes of Lore and Asher at the start as opposed to montages. Speedrunning here.

The party is growing~ I got this digital but I think by the end of this book, I'm gonna buy a physical copy of all of Kimberly Lemming's books cuz I think I've found the flower atop the peak. I will elaborate later in my full review lolol but she's so funny.

I was wondering why people didn't quite like this story. I guess its missing a few scenes and doesn't quite have a set tone. Like when it started, I thought there would be more danger from the fae. But after the quake, its just kind of been Spirited Away vibes. Magical library, a neat market, and salty guard that suddenly warmed up to her for no reason. I don't hate it so far but the missing pieces are noticeable.

And no bones have been jumped!? Hell yeah dude, we stan a man with decency. The moment where Fallon decided to start courting Cinnamon was so cute.

Damn hang on. I wanna look into the traditions for mourning and Confucianism in general cuz why this sound funny.

I've heard the shi poem lol it sounds goofy. Its about a guy trying to eat lions.
