Gross imagery but not described in a particularly gross way, also drowning is so scary

This is a hard audiobook to listen to, the transitions between scenes are very easy to miss for me so I keep getting confused as to where I am and with what cousin

These short stories are so good but so miserable

Started over bc I couldn't remember who's who

Okay i needed to stop when the rape happened bc it made me a little nauseous but kept listening and now I'm very nauseous because of grooming (this time with allegorical rape???)

listened to this while painting, the rats really spoiled my apetite

Idk what changed but I suddenly am not scared of what happens next

This is going to be the second book ever i will give a one star rating to. "I screamed so hard that I destroyed a building" is the most immature way I've ever seen somebody try to describe the physical pain and reaction to grief. Same shit I wrote at 15. Oh and then after Hekate leaves with two of Nyx's coolest children. Who are both hot btw. Was this a young adult novel and i didn't notice geez

Is she gonna cheat on her husband with a vampire?

Prenatal breast milk is crazy

Im so scared that abigail will become a trafficking victim, why else does a random teenage girl get invited to a rich people party

I need to remember i can only read 10 pages a day if I wish to not forget the whole book before book club. If i finish it too early its a shame. Its got its papercuts in me, I need to know what the hell kind of stupid shit these problematic Simpsons-like buffoons will do next o.o

I love reading a book where everyone kind of sucks but aren't outright awful people

The Chaser: ugh I hate it when a story is so good at making you feel tense that you're kinda scared to finish it. I am really bad at teenage social situations in books and always have been so this story was a tough read. Really great though

"I'd be thinking about checking my pants, to see if I had peed, wondering am I maybe even peeing right now? But I'd surreptitiously check and no, my pants would be dry, even though they felt wet. And then two minutes later, I'd be like, okay, maybe this time I really did pee my pants, and nope, no. I never have pissed my pants, for the record."

What if everybody had to choose their gender?

I've got one chapter left and I really can't be excited about this one. It feels more like a expositionary dialogue piece than an essay with a point, a theme, a thesis. Its not badly written so I dont want to give it two stars but I've not felt this non-passionate while reading a text about a topic I am passionate and knowledgeable about yet.

Okay i think I get it, the first part of this book is just explaining where lgbt people and dnd connect and then hopefully the second part will delve into how this creates community and why nerdy stuff attracts the queers.

Target audience, who your text is for. I kind of expected a book about queer culture within dnd to be written for queer people who play dnd. This book starts with a chapter explaining what dnd is and what queer means, not a bad thing sure but if your target audience is queer nerds, we already know what these words mean. If its for people unfamiliar, then it shouldn't be written in low-fantasy language.
