They really meant ~any~ door.

Also I love a bit of good theoretical physics.

I feel like things are getting pretty interesting

“Bo” is so similar to a character I’ve written before that I’m able to immediately clock all his intentions and subtleties.

It’s like a dumb thing to point out but it was tripping me out.

“This is the Book of Doors. Hold it in your hand, and any door is every door.”

This book is so fascinating so far.

I know this is a crazy take, but I like this more than The Silver Chair so far

I’m surprised how unimportant Eustace is…

The dichotomy between Tella and Evangeline is palpable. They’re so similar and yet so different. It’s kind of masterfully done. -> I think Jack’s just realized that too with the Poison joke.

“Heroes don’t get happy endings.”

I really like the commentary that falling out of love isn’t easy.

“The strongest of our feelings Yu’s always the urge to be that which we were made to be.” I love the Fates

One week is rather expedited

“Maybe broken hearts just made Fayes even more inhuman.” I love to see it.

Evangeline that was a bawler psychoanalysis. 10/10

Saved by being left handed is such a writing flex.

It’s actually crazy how much time we spend with people that aren’t the protagonists. It’s incredibly effective.

Shogo literally has it the worst. Having to do this all twice.

ITS A MACBOOK 😂

Relationships are messy…

Battle Royale

Vanessa
Vanessa is 24% done with Battle Royale
It’s interesting that considering the circumstances, anyone who is victorious in a fight is assumed to be the aggressor. But I can’t blame them for those assumptions.

Shogo…what do you mean by that…why are you so shady…

“If we can’t trust anyone we’ll lose.”

Shuya is proof that nice guys have game haha.

I hate how much I like Kiriyama…I know…I’m ashamed…

“Apollo burned like a fire that consumed instead of warmed.”

The second hand embarrassment kills me.

“Evangeline’s doubt was like salt. There wasn’t much of it, yet it seemed to alter the taste of her thoughts.”

I’m not convinced about the romantic development direction rn, but I’ll trust the process I guess

“No body ever hears me if I do not want them to; I find that very amusing.”

I love how Agatha Christie uses children’s rhymes in her murder mysteries. Three Blind Mice, crazy.

I will say…this kind of reminds me of Monster, which is never a bad thing.

I just got this book in the mail today and I was distracted by how pretty it was that I started reading the forward, and then I thought I might as well read it since I started.

“For anyone who has ever made a bad decision because of a broken heart”

It’s kinda refreshing to see a prince have to marry to claim his throne.

Also it’s pretty crazy Jacks met her first.

I question why in a lot of modern comedy books, they choose to make kids and/or old people make dirty jokes…

Oh wow, that’s sneaky Jacks. But I do get the tragedy of the cards he’s been dealt. This is the sort of fated trope I adore to be honest.

I love that the climax is Scarlett and Julian.

While I don’t hate this entirely…this time bending nonsense is very AOT coded and I hated that…

I can’t breathe. If a man told me “it’s not that I don’t want to love you, [Name]. I can’t love you.” That ship would be sailed.

I think Jacks is an allegory for substance abuse in this novel.

“Didn’t share a drop of blood.” Do they not know what half means?

My otp is together at last.

I never thought “Legends never die” would be applicable.

I enjoy reading this book but I think the overly comedic nature makes it hard for me to pick up when it’s been a while since I’ve read.

I don’t know how to describe Legend aside from ✨suavemente✨

Everyone is a vampire.

I’m actually fuming about the Nicholas stuff. I hate what she did to my couple. This is why romance series are so dumb. Pick the scoundrel—he’s better.

I do love a doomed immortal dynamic.

Dante, my guy, that’s not how you win the girl.

I realized, this is a love triangle of avoidants.

I’m also incredibly addicted but I have to put it down to be responsible.

I love Callisto so much. This is the sort of court politics I want—over the top flair. (Jk jk, subtle stuff is good too)

I just realized though that this technically is the “knife to the throat” trope.

“Choosing him had been the correct decision.” Famous last words.

[It’s really crazy that I’ve only read two chapters lol. They’re just giant.]
