I'm not yet convinced this isn't a repurposed Sherlock fic. If Newt turns out to be ex military, I'm out.

I need trope. The tropiest trope.

This book is so heavy-handed about EVERYTHING. JFC.

Heh, I did NOT expect this to be on some Chani Lynn Feener timing.

Really want to DNF this. I'm so into angst over past transgressions and one of the MCs having to grovel a bit to get the other to listen to their apology, but there's a lot of stubbornness and "I don't understand why he hates me, even though I betrayed him in the worst ways imaginable *SAD FACE*" going on. Oh, and forced proximity on the part of the offender.

Ion like it.

I feel like I'm being super picky lately. I've been passing on so many books that I would normally read for the taboo factor. Cheating, bro's/BFF's ex - These things, especially have been giving me the ick.

Anyone else find themselves suddenly filtering out certain things they used to read without issue?

Oh, no...Wren's an imbecile.

This is bordering on being too emo for me. :\

Soft-DNFing this.

Christine, you're right! This is totally SPN fanfic.
-emotionally constipated MC.
-one MC 2 in shorter than the other.
-1 w/green eyes, 1 w/blue.
-MC w/brother spent childhood on the road w/mother not in picture.
-MC likes fruity drinks with umbrellas.

The author should have removed the last 2 things and I would have never known for sure that this was SPN fic.

I'm listening to the audiobook, and I'm already kinda grossed out.

This firefighter, in the middle of rescuing a child, is thinking about how hot the mom is in her leggings, crying over her son (who is OK, but still).

Am I supposed to like the MC? Because this isn't helping. I'm already close to DNFing.

There are a LOT of aspects of this book that make it hard to be immersed in the story. Like, Sen fell on Kai's dick with his whole body, and there was barely a reaction.

Kai accosts Sen in the shower like a maniac when Sen is trying to leave and jokes about his injured dick. Predator shit.

Later on, Kai throws a taco at Sen, which explodes its taco goodness all over, and they just laugh it off. The taco DIED.

Serena was garbage before things even went to hell. Wow. I mean, who tf has picnics on frozen lakes?

I take it back. Victor's damaged in a way I definitely am not.

Would a straight man describe themselves having a "tight ass?" That is such a weird phrase to use on oneself.

It's bad that I relate to Victor, right? Guy seems to be emotionally stunted in some way, prone to jealously and possessiveness that he tries to hide. It's directed at people he see's as "his". Even those he just takes a slightly-more-than-cursory interest in are his.

Oh, eww, Rhys got real creepy-mean just now over an innocent joke Cor made about his OWN capabilities (in the positive).

BRO, your dad's friend JUST got out of the hospital, and you're already getting hard over him sipping his morning cuppa Joe???

Kiem and Jainan's relationship is like a scab on a knee. Any bold movements and it's bound to start aching and bleeding again.

Gross, but it's the closest thing I can think of.

Didn't even make it to 100 pages before the waterworks started. Good job, Shonee.

I put off reading the last 25% of the 2nd book of the NightRunner series for the 5th book of Heartstopper. No ragrets.

Crying over a soldier I didn't even know. Why did I have to watch him die??? Whyyyyyyy?? T_T

I meant to say this on the first volume, but I SWEAR TO GOD, IF THE DOG DIES IN THIS SERIES, I WILL BAKE A CAKE, DECORATE IT REAL NICE, AND THEN THROW IT AT A WALL.

Seregil's sexual orientation is confusing. There's times in this book where he seems like he doesn't like women much in a romantic sense (Alec even notices), and then there's others where he seems like a horndog.

Every woman he HAS slept with seems like part of a mutual exchange of services (the women - sex, Seregil - info/access), and some of those women he just happens to be fond of.

I genuinely doubt he's bi.

Not Alec FINALLY discovering he has less than platonic feelings for Seregil and then immediately going to a brothel and screwing a sex worker that looks just like him.

I was kicking my feet and squealing earlier, but I think I forgot these two are MEN. They're going to spend their time fucking ~around~ their feelings instead of into them.

IS BEKA MY ACE QUEEN???

SPOILERS

Ok, this book is already exponentially more gay than the first, and I'm only 25% done.

That said, Seregil has also had sex with 4-6 women (the number is fuzzy for ~reasons) in a chapter, and unless Nysander thought to set our man up with magical prophylactics, there's going to be at least one mini-Seregil running around out there in 9 months.

Oh, and Alec got magic-roofied into losing his virginity.

OK, we get DEFINITE attraction between the two (well, one-sided) about 2/3rds of the way through the book. I still doubt we'll get a kiss in this book, but the glimpses of something more are enough.

Also, I NEED to know who's behind trying to frame the nobles. and is it connected to the events at the very beginning of the book? 50%-75% was decidedly more exciting than the rest of the book.

I'm saying this right here right now - nothing better happen to Micum's girls, or I will burn this book.

There's crossdressing. CROSSDRESSING. And a 300 year old wizard who still gets his swerve on because he ain't got time for no damn oath of celibacy. And one of them gets turned into and otter.

This is probably the slowest of slow-burns I've ever read. I don't know if they will every even have a "moment," let alone get together. Am I ready to accept that? Seregil and Alec definitely aren't asexual, so...
