Extremely unwell 😭

!!!

Somehow this book is even better than the first???
I need someone to come to our new house and unpack all the boxes and set it up for my kids cuz all I want to do is sit down and devour this book 😭 I need answers!!!

“I would have found her one way or another. If I’d had to stalk the world barefoot, starved and unarmed, I would have done so to find her. She was no longer mine, but I was hers.”

🥵

“She was my one light in an endlessly dark sky, my spear of hope which I clung to even now after her betrayal.”

😮‍💨

🎙️WE PICK UP RIGHT WHERE WE LEFT OFF FROM ECHO FORT. Already losing my mind.
“You will watch her in every waking moment you can. And when the time is right, you will lead me right to her.”

“Fertile Blessings”

My hackles are raised this is so Handmaid’s Tale coded

“Please don’t go.”

This is how we’re starting?? 😭

“I am your curse. I am your end.”

“I draw a calming breath and try to remember all the ways I promised I would do things differently with my kids, landing somewhere between gentle parenting…and my mama.”

As a mom of 2, I can already tell this is going to ruin me.

Life is too short to force myself to finish a book. The fist part had me invested. Then the second part, absolutely nothing happened to advance the plot in an interesting way. When something finally did happen, we got all tell and no show. Everything else felt a little too copy and paste from Throne of Glass.

Who tf is Gideon?

“If you’re going to undress me with your eyes, please also use your hands.”
“I’m assessing your injuries, it’s part of my job.”
“Ahh, is that what we are calling it nowadays? Might I assess your injuries next?”

🤣

It lost me for a second when I thought it was an insta-lust plot, but thankfully I couldn’t have been more wrong 🫣

“If I smell him on you again, Princess, I’ll rip every vein from his body and string you a necklace. A wedding gift, if you will.”

We love a deranged man

“She’s confident in her body and my type to a T. It’s the bit of motivation I need to start my next set because, yeah, she’s my type. I lift heavy for a reason.”

Liz Tomforde men need to be studied 🤌🏻

Stfu

“Why are you always leaning against things? Are you very off-balance or something?”

🤣

The banter already has me giggling and kicking my feet like a fool.

this man boy has me heated 😤

“That is the beauty of powerful men, they always underestimate the women surrounding them.”

Not Tamlin.. I mean Taft.. telling Hyacinth she can’t eat a croissant because it’s “not good for her figure” 😤😒

“I let out a small sigh. He was probably right.”

No girl, please eat all of the croissants right now!

My mind is about to explode

I AM LOSING MY MIND

You think I would learn by now to expect the unexpected.. but WHAT???

I’m taking my sweet time reading this one cuz I’ve never been more scared to finish a trilogy in my life.

Come again?

I’m scared to finish this book 🫣

Wow we’re already full steam ahead. Yea, I’m terrified.

I’m a fool 🤦🏻‍♀️
