Love that we are getting a second romance! I’m a big fan of Elm, he might be my favorite character.

Loving it so far! Took me a little bit to wrap my head around the magic, but it’s super unique and I love that. I’m getting Heartless Hunter and Shield of Sparrows vibes.

We need more squire gingivere in this book!

She is meant for him, but they couldn’t be more impossible.

“Killer, I think I need to hold you for a minute.”

Chapter 28 - I love a good “do you need me?” Question from the MMC! Especially when the FMC is like “nope, I got it”. Badass Saeris!

It seems like a swearing situation to me.

Healing the body was the easy part. The mind and soul were different animals entirely.

We’ll be okay. Like, eventually. We might just need some fussing.

Vulnerability isn’t a race, it’s a conversation.

It’s cooling for me a bit. Everything is a little too perfect, a little too healthy. The characters are doing everything right, haha. It’s still very cozy and cute.

They were innocent, casual touched, but she *burned*.

Life has wounded you in its own way, but that does not diminish who you are, and who you could be, if you only stop being afraid of yourself. His tone was gentle but firm. Lily felt tremendously itchy.

Nothing about you feels temporary

Beauty feeds the soul, my sweet boy. It takes many forms, some of them obvious, like a flower in bloom or the laughter of a child, but sometimes it is hidden, though it is never absent. Find beauty.

This book just feels like a warm hug

Going to Hell. Going to Hell. Going to Hell.
Joke’s on you, I did it and rather enjoyed myself.

The quotes!

“of course I’d be interested in running a new D&D campaign, but if the Monkey King is involved, I want nothing to do with it. Having Loki as a rogue in that one campaign was enough trickster God experience for one eternity…”

If Judgement went well, what awaited her? What would coffee be like in the Afterlife? Oh, the *books*. There had to be so many new books!

“Oh yes, the Universe is quite big on choice. Now, you can’t choose to go to one of the paradise realms this very moment. You can’t choose choose how you wish to be judged, and then if you go to a paradise, then you can choose which one. Most souls stay within their beliefs, but some like to shake it up a bit.”

Whew, those first couple chapters. Cancer sucks.

What is Ezra doing with Atlas?!

Really liking the detail and explanation of Magic in this book! It’s trippy — what is real? What is illusion? What are they being made to feel by outside influence? And the morality questions are fascinating!

Many people incorrectly assume time to be a steady incline, a measured arc of growth and progress. But when history is written by the victors, the narrative can often misrepresent that shape. In reality, time as we experience it is merely an ebb and flow—more circular than it is direct. Social trends and stigmas change. The direction knowledge moves is not always forward. Magic is no different.

This book is slow. I’m not racing back to keep reading or tying to read every spare minute. But it’s developing nicely and the writing is excellent. I hope the slow pace is worth it in the end!

Welp, not Sabine. Maybe Maria is Lottie? Or I’m totally wrong and these characters intersect in a different way.

Interesting so far!

So Lottie is probably a vampire, and I’m wondering if Alice is in the middle of turning.

Maria just met Sabine, who I assume is also a vampire, but I wonder if she and Lottie are the same vampire?
