Sevro and Ragnar >>>

I’m not okay

Moving a bit slower with this one just because of life events taking up most of my time but holy hell every time I pick this up I’m gobsmacked. I genuinely do not understand how Brown is ending every single freaking chapter with a page turning one liner. How does this all live in his brain???? I’m so impressed

Literally HOW is Mr. Brown coming up with this stuff I do not understand

It’s just bang bang bang bang

Can I catch my breath holy hell😃😃 it’s just jaw dropper after jaw dropper. Maybe he’ll sprinkle in some cause for tears and then BOOM back to jaw on the floor. I cannot put this down

I’m really scared about what this book is going to do to me emotionally and mentally…

I set it down after ch. 3 so I can hold on to that little piece of hope before pierce brown inevitably does something fucked up to set me off the rails again

Oh my god. Call me a soldier the way I have the willpower to set this down and call it bedtime with the absolute chaos that is currently happening in this book. Chapter 40??!?!?! Ho.ly. Fuck. I absolutely cannot wait to wake up and finish this

Also I have such a soft spot in my heart for Ragnar now. He is a MAN😭😭 lastly can we talk about Darrow’s character development? Absolutely incredible

SEVRO HELLO - I don’t want to spoil for anyone but that scene in ch. 23 made me so happy - Darrow NEEDED that. I just love this writing/the plot lines/characters so much!!! Except I’m really freaking scared for the end

Darrow really just is causing massive chaos wherever he goes I love it

Also it feels like the author is just pulling plot twists out of a hat the way shit is going down so far😭 I cannot believe it

Oh SHIT here we go

There’s lowkey a lot of characters that I’m trying to keep track of but the sons of ares have me gripping my seat

Also I wanna know what’s going on with mustang

Couldn’t wait for the box set to come in the mail so I’m starting this on my kindle…and I am SO freaking excited.

Julian?? Titus?? There is SO much going on.

Also I am just loving how the author writes these characters they are so entertaining

Every time I think I can tell where the plot is going I turn the page and my jaw is on the floor again

Masterful sci-fi fantasy storytelling>>>> I’m absolutely enthralled

I’m hooked

Oh. I just know I’m gonna be addicted to this

I can’t tell if I’m liking the perspective shifts or not

Okay maybe it was just the last chapter because I’m liking Fliss’ POV a lot more…it’s crazy how different the chapters feel based on who’s POV they’re being told from

Not a fan of the recipes though. Those can go

So I’ve decided I do really enjoy the story I just am having suchhhh a hard time with the writing. It’s so jumpy and confusing I don’t even understand what’s happening half of the time. The author will write about something as if we are supposed to know what’s going on when there was no background info provided at all. I’m keeping with it because I’m intrigued but omg

I’m nglll I’m having a bit of a hard time with this so far. I really like the story but the writing is kinda frustrating to me. It just feels a bit choppy like something will happen and I’ll have to go back to figure out when it was even introduced/described (same w characters). I feel like I have rlly high standards w writing and this just isn’t hitting a mark for me yet BUT I also can’t put it down sooo

Ke describes feelings so beautifully - he is genuinely so wise

His relationships with Steven and Harrison…I cannot

I have always had so much love and respect for Ke and how he carries himself, but this story is amplifying that x100. His story is one in million - something that you would never ever expect to happen, and you can tell that he’s the person he is because of it.

Also hearing the 1st person details abt how he met Steven Spielberg for the first time + pictures to go alongside it is so so cool

The writing in this?? Incredible. What can’t this man do

Also I had absolutely no idea he and his family went through this. The boat to Hong Kong…I can’t imagine

Oh my god. I can’t tell if I’m excited to see this in theaters to see what I envision in my head played out on screen or if I’m dreading it for the exact same reason. This book is agony

I’m SCARED

This book is ADDICTING and so fun to read. It’s so so fun knowing all of the characters already and watching younger versions of them pop up randomly in the story and seeing them in ways we haven’t seen them before. I am absolutely obsessed with this franchise. This is my first time reading a book in this way (with so much background knowledge) and I’m enthralled

I’m super late to the party here but I just finished re-watching all of the movies and thought I’d dive into this now that I’m up to date before the movie comes out! And omg is it so addicting already…I started it right after finishing mockingjay part 2 and I physically cannot put it down. Feeling real fear about the pain this story is gonna cause me though. It’s so devastating already

The calamity club women >> I have such a soft spot in my heart for them. And Charlie😭 ugh

I love Birdie and Meg the way I love Vianne and Isabelle…and that’s saying a lot

Feeling scared about whatever it is the Heidelberg’s got going on
