Taking a break because the ending is going to crush me and the new book doesn’t come out until Sep.

Now we’ve entered WestWorld…

What in the dystopian hellscape meets the handmaids tale is this?

What the fuck?! I need to hunt this author down and have ‘words’ with him
Are you kidding me?

Nerve mind…
I was right the first time. Maybe it was the narrator doing the more ridiculous British and Scottish accents but I hated it…

Okay hear me out…
I felt very guilty about rereading WTMH and not hating it and maybe I was a tad tooo harsh with this one… sooooooo, second chance!

Oye! This is a 26 hour audiobook!! What is happening?! We’re still world building and meeting new people but on a real… y’all not going to tell the sadistic fae killer she be missing some very very very important details….
13 hours left.

Kaan is such a green flag shadow daddy… lots of words that don’t make sense together but hey, that’s what you get.

Gosh, I didn’t realize how thirsty they both were. Why did I hate this first go around?

Hey look… it’s the start of the most gut wrenchingly beautiful tortured yearning I’ve read… ( I seem to be using those words a lot, hopefully someone doesn’t trademark them and then sue me) but… y’all. It be different than all those copy paste romantasies.

They are all insufferable…..

Well, here’s to more heartbreaking torture and yearning that unravels one without apology…

If I ever make the mistake that a dark novel will drag me out of a slump.. someone slap me upside the head. Thanks!

Second time starting this… let’s see if I can get through…

Sooooooo….
I’m in a slump and I’m hoping the ‘romantasy book of 2026’ knocks me out of this…
So far… she ain’t working. And I don’t like the new players :(

2 hours left on this audiobook.., still the worst enemy to lovers arc ever…. He’s not redeemable y’all. The poison… blah blah… no! Someone who is suppose to be there doesn’t try to break you down at every opportunity. That’s not how that’s done…

‘You’re nicer when you’re dying, you should do it more often’ 🤣 girl yes..

25 chapters in and this guy has no redeeming qualities. I love when she’s by her badass self. I don’t know what the fuck those BookTok girlies are on but he has no redeeming qualities. Yuck

And she’s fucking racist too… hmm… 🤔 hate her!

I can’t tell if I hate her or love her… at some spots, I even felt sorry for her. But… we still hate her!

Ohhhh…… we fucking hate her…..

On this episode of Stressca’s reading slump, we are half way through this book only because… well, who the fuck knows. Stacia, if this freaking turns out to be a tamlin/rhysand situation.. we will have words.

Oh, she started out sassy. We love that for us… and it’s a duet by two of the best narrators! Swoon 🙈

Ya know what…
Move over Kingfisher.. we have a new shadow daddy in town. He can take me to Niflheim any time… wait no… I don’t like being cold. Apparently neither does he😉

Oh my god. If someone doesn’t start making connections to anything then I’m going to freaking scream. Very loudly that you will hear me over Goodreads.

…… and I’m still so bored….

I may need a dry erase board, post-it notes to follow what’s happening here. There’s so many different characters now.

This is what FOMO looks like… Mikaela, Sara.. keep up.

I’m trying to finish this but this book is dragging
Why are the same characters having the same old arguments.. over and over again.
And number one unbelievable plot of these books are how likable and helpful the freaking olympian gods are 🙄
