The name Fabrizio feels mildly racist toward Italians

Paige is iconic, I fear.

Italian underground fight club was not on my bingo card for this book

Kieran is iconic, I fear

I'm actually about to crash out. What is this book?

I have never been more engaged in a "self-help" book before. This is actually really good

Soooooo this is not YA. My mistake, my mistake

I'm actually struggling to find the point of this book

Will somethingggg happpennnnnnn

But the inside is gilded to utter excess. Silver, everywhere. The king’s collection isn’t hidden behind a vault, it’s proudly displayed, hung upon every wall.

-Alex... 'gilded' means gold.



I don't think I am going to make it through this

That’s when I spot Harlan Raker, still at the edge of the forest, leaning against one of the only remaining trees. He’s just . . . watching.

Dear God, his name is WHat? This is somehow worse than Grim, Oro, and Urn from Lightlark. At least this is original.

The pacing has really dropped off since the beginning

I am just not feeling this

There is something about the dialogue in this book that is really annoying to read.

Why am I actually upset right now? This is actually kinda sad

Caspia is definitely the mom

I actually need something to happen. Also I am 96% sure whoever Caspia is, she isn't alive right now. I think her storyline takes place before the main one

Because there wasn't enough horse riding/traveling in the first book

We're back with these weirdos

It may just be me, but I don't understand this plot or where it's going. Prose is beautiful, though

I’d received countless gifts in my life. A customized Audi for my sixteenth birthday; a limited-edition Vacheron Constantin watch when I was accepted into Oxford; a penthouse atop the Peak in Hong Kong when I graduated from Cambridge with my master’s. None of them touched me as much as a flimsy paperback of velociraptor erotica.

-This sums up my experience with this book so far

Fourteen years? I would have gone mad in fourteen minutes

I want it on record that I clocked Odyssus as a red flag since the beginning.

Never spent this long reading a book. Prose is beautiful, but I just cannot be bothered to pick it up

Someone needs to take Hoopla away from me

Was this written by a theater kid? The writing is unnecessarily dramatic

On one hand, I am upset I have already spoiled the ending of this book for myself, as I love Jest so much. On the other I don't even want to think what I would have to go through if I didn't know.

These "betrayals" are becoming increasingly ridiculous.
