This has literally been on my shelf for so long I had to brush dust off it oml I need to get better at reading what I already have on my shelf

I thought this was a direct sequel to Daughter of the Pirate King/Daughter of the Siren Queen which I read YEARS ago so I’m really glad to find out it’s in the same universe but can be read as a standalone because I do not remember what happened last time

Going to wait until tomorrow to actually start because I need a recovery day from my last book but I’m so excited for this one

Getting better. I enjoyed the line ‘maybe [boys didn’t hit on me] because I was out of their league—or it might have just been because I’m a raging lesbian’ lesbianism for the win

Ehhhhhhh

Dorian Gray retelling through a lens of how teenage girls view their body: good
The amount of information that I feel has been dumped on me in these first 20 pages: less good

Premise is good, writing style is already very tell-not-show, and I pray that the exposition dumping goes away soon

Reread because it’s been two years and it’s so much fun to fall back into this book
