…there’s pool in medieval times???? Like… the game? (Fire book so far though but this is my only question 😂)

Bro wHAT HAPPENED IN THAT CAVE??? Also Cyrus is such an interesting character give me more

The tension is tensioning yall (though it was lowkey kinda flat there for a hot minute ngl)

Bro these two already have my heart I love their teenage shyness when it comes to figuring out their feelings (Yulian, more-so). Also, their game of 20 questions ☺️

Aww baby Niko has started to get his tattoos 🥹🥹 I love the “back in time” thing going on

Omg it’s so much fun to jump back into this world and this story

Gang wtf rip Preston ig 😀😭

I’ve heard both good and bad things about this one but I’m hopeful — I really don’t wanna DNF it like with Beautiful Venom :/

“The Elsewhere Express doesn’t pick up passengers at stations. You boarded it at the end of your dreams at a quarter past your heaviest sigh. The train caught you when you floated away.”

“It might surprise you how little a person without purpose weighs.”

This book is literally so… airy? Idk how to describe it but it’s just full of introspective quotes that just get you thinking.

Holy moly my eyes were already tearing up at that beginning. For some reason, every character I’ve read that is blind/becoming blind has always managed to make me cry so I’m scared

“You have failed. The life forms you have created have long since surpassed you. They have their own strength and beliefs. Humans have intelligence and emotions. These two peoples are successful products of evolution. They are our Heavenly Father’s masterpieces.” Holy cow this is such a cool line XD

The festival?! The KISS?! (+how it was revealed was spectacularly done). The time travel bit is so intriguing. This lore keeps getting bigger and bigger and I’m loving it but I’m more-so genuinely impressed by how it’s all fitting so nicely into just one book this small. I also like how Heishi is cold and to-the-point to others but soft to A-Ka.

For some reason, the writing reminds me of C.S. Lewis XD. Idk why. But these two are literally so adorable and stressing me out at the same time ugh! Also, this plotline and world building is literally so good. I love A-Ka’s power as well, it’s really unique.

Definitely fast paced (like what was that time skip?!) but honestly? This world seems really cool and interestingly structured so far. Idk how but this writing is simultaneously elegant, cute, and yet flat all at once. Honestly, while the lore and secrets are keeping me interested (despite it being a little janky), A-Ka and Heishi are definitely keeping this boat afloat XD

The Magic system in this is so unique and I’m so excited to explore it.

I know good and well imma cry. I’ve already teared up a couple times and I didn’t think Rina Kent could do that to me. The polo game scene in its entirety was beautiful. Everyone’s cameos, Mia speaking, and then everyone’s relationships and families! 🥹🥹
