ok so maybe this is kinda fun. but the romance is uhh.. not for me and even though this is only book 1 of a series, i’m not sure how much can be done in 50 pages to come to a somewhat clean ending

arc from work. i think that i’m going to hate it.

nothing quite like expecting a love letter, only to be met with what’s basically just a slap to the face. what the hell man

hey ! what the fuck !

“the way he pronounced dark as dahhhk was so pure that i had an involuntary urge to snatch up the teapot and find a harbor to dump it in.”
automatic 5 star line right there

i am all for explorations beyond traditional lore but, ms jenni, What are we Doing here

this might just be the funniest thing i have ever read

this may be the most confusing thing i have ever read.

i was always under the impression this was haha funny not absurdist funny and it is a bit of a slog

despite how much i am enjoying this so far, i dont think im built for 800 page books

it did the thing where the last 50 pages are the most interesting thing ive ever read and now i expeditiously need the second book, which i will probably end up complaining about

im really confused and should probably start the book over but i dont think i want to read any of this again

going down the path where wanting to know a specific outcome is no longer worth it simply because i disagree with the series of events that has led to this point.

how is this a triology. there is like. nothing happening. i just want to find out how a specific trope ends at this point

my favorite part of listening to these audio books is hearing spike from buffy the vampire slayer (james marsyers) do the roadrunner meep meep

i think this is a dnf for now. i cant be bothered to care and i have other library holds ready.

well now it’s just boring unfortunately

oh this is so much more entertaining than i thought it was going to be i understand why people love kingsolver now

love the story, forgot how absolutely boring the writing makes it

i would like to drop kick both inan and kaea

i think i kinda feel the same way i felt about the adventures of amina al-sarafi in that there’s a lot happening and i don’t quite understand how there can still be so much story left. it’s not a bad story, i enjoy it, but i think if i wasn’t listening to an audiobook on 1.5x with such an immersive narrator, i would not be willing to continue.

i remember this being significantly better about 5 years ago

yeah i cant finish this…

a) i think using italics in the middle of paragraphs for dialogue instead of quotes and paragraph breaks should be a literary crime
b) this is sooo slow
c) i have not yet found a single reason to care about any of these 7 characters
d) why are these chapters so short, help

ch34 always leaves me giggling and kicking my feet bc puck and sean are so <3

yay polish rep (oh no i have to try to remember how to sound out polish words)

OH IM SO ANGRY
