howling like a wounded animal

Bro, this did NOT have to be this depressing.

I finished the immortal divorced robot book now I have to read the immortal married with dementia robot book i guess.

Unfortunately obsessed

The parallels of Orikan petulantly beating on Trazyn's chest just like Trazyn did to Orikan in the beginning of the book is NOT lost on me <3. Really excited to move on from divorce arc to "legally mandated get along sweater with the punishment of execution if disobeyed".

Not the divorce arc noooo 3

Absolutely obsessed with Trazyn

That time again

Pat is making me read this and unfortunately I am horrifically invested in this. The trial scene alone had me in tears. What is wrong with these freak loser robots

I signed up for a little book club where we read this and do all the exercises. Let see how this goes.

So many of the deaths are these devastating but overall inconsequential moments that I completely forgot about them. I read the Thunderclash death recently and that sucked. I hated that.

Me, literally 10 pages ago: This is so relaxing now that everyone I care about is dead

Me, now: Oh god... I'm on the pregnancy chapter... Guys I'm so scared right now

Honestly, so relaxing now that all the big deaths are out of the way. It feels like a book again and not a self inflicted torture session

I recently read the Harvard Crimson article about this book and honestly its such a funny opinion to have. The reviewer talked about how the characters suffered from lack of introduction and about how the readers did not care about JRo's OCs but I could not disagree more. When I first read this book at 14 I did not know most of the characters and did not feel that hindered by understanding of them +I'd die for Sygnet

Pat just started reading this and I am SO GLAD because currently I feel like a noose is tightening around my neck watching it get closer and closer to my faves death and getting texts from Pat saying "It started which not a bang but a whimper???? NIKKI WHAT ARE YOU GETTING ME INTO" lifts the mood DRASTICALLY

God, This book turns 25 on March 4th. I'm throwing her a party.

Tbh I should check my heart-rate while I read this. I'm deep enough now that I'm so anxious waiting for them to kill my favorite characters.

I got a few days behind on this because of Birthday Shenanigans, and when I looked up the day 9 song on YouTube to listen to it as I read I noticed a lot of comments on the video saying things like "Hiii Bookclub!!" " Hi morning readers! Enjoy day 9!" and things of the like. Ngl I was momentarily stunned by how overwhelmingly cute that was.

We've hit the part where both Prowl's and Quark and Rev-tone's death flags have started waving and YEAH I did cry about it. I legitimately do not think any fiction deaths have ever hit me as hard as these 3.

I want to make fun of the level of mania in which I am bringing to this book reading experience but I feel like I'm jumping the gun since Gen. Mech orders open this month. We can't even TALK about crazy until I get my hands on that book.

I'm so sorry please prepare for a massive cited review on how INCREDIBLY and JARRINGLY bad this book is. (we love it when people cite debunked and discredited studies and force unrelated datasets to apply to their theories while ignoring heavily related studies. AND SURPRISE ITS TRANSPHOBIC AND IS BASED ENTIRELY ON GENDER DETERMINISM)

"For Metroplex the war was finally over." I'm throwing rocks at your windows James. I don't even like Metroplex like that and I'm throwing rocks at your windows.

Every time I think the crazy amount of foreshadowing is gonna kill me then Drift and Ratchet talk to each other and I realize NO THIS IS WHAT WILL KILL ME. I'm so glad they get married if they never got together in this series I think I might have went postal. I can't handle them talking to each other 4 million years of yearning is SICK AND TWISTED
