Neta decided this is what I’d read next

Not putting Naboth’s vineyard in Jezreel is definitely a choice

I can handle historical inaccuracies in historical fiction but the fact that she’s mentioned the city “Caesarea” multiple times is killing me. It’s a Roman city named after a ROMAN built 800 years after this story takes place. Romans didn’t even exist yet. It would be so easy to just replace Caesarea with another coastal city that actually existed during this time

I really like how she shows the difference between the worship of Yahweh and syro-canaanite gods

Ik it’s fantasy so it’s fine but I hate to see a graham Hancock (pseudo-archaeologist) theory make it into an rf Kuang book

Really liked this all the moral philosophy and existentialism in this part

:(

This is hitting hard as a grad student with chronic illness

Man idk how I feel about this

Starting to get invested in the characters and plot but I kinda wish the series of events happened in order instead of doing flashbacks. Think I would’ve gotten invested earlier that way

Very silly and relatable and nostalgic

What a great book to read while painstakingly writing my thesis which is due in 22 days, fully prepared to sell my soul to finish it on time

They had sex and it gave her free will????

Slow but really interesting and inspiring lots of big questions about action vs. labour, liminality, myth. K. seems to have a lot of power/agency because of his identity as an outsider. I wonder if this will change

Very mysterious

WHAT THE FUCK

Ik who the book wants me to think the murderer is but idk if I trust it just yet. Also love all the allusions so much wow

Why is someone named Henry in every dark academia book

Rich people are funny
