“He’s always been handsome, but it’s in an ugly way.” BAHAHAH im sorry that’s so iconic actually

This book is making me realize I do like a plot and problems and, comparatively, the Windy City series is so much better bahahaha. But the other books in this series are rated higher and also I’m skimming these pages so hard so this is a prob a me problem

Honestly I’m very excited for Hazel and Rory’s book, this is quite boring

How on earth did this woman predict the Heated Rivals frenzy before it got big on social media??? Is she a sorcerer?

These ppl r better than me because if I was either one of them, but especially Ryan, I would take this grudge to my grave and I would have the person deeply for the rest of my life

Um I don’t think I really like Josie

This cover is so stinkin cute

ITS TIMEEEEEE!! Also im trying this new thing where i actually write my thoughts inside the book (read: annotate) instead of here, but do let me know if you guys miss them cuz I WILL bring them back for yall don’t even Greg 🫡🫡

GUYS I just checked out this book from the library so I can read it as a physical book and not on my kindle because I have less than 100 pages left and everything from the 50% mark has been SO good and they r in such a bad spot rn (hunkering in a shelter cave situation but the bad guy is trying to blow them up) and OMGGGG im so excited.

Dang they fooled me it’s the fam

OMG OMG OMG I THINK THE GANGS REUNITED

If Nash and Lydia aren’t safe by now, I will be SO upset. Also, I’m really enjoying this part in the book. It took us 50% of the book to get here but now that we r here I’m having a fun time

I love when Kazi is on her theif/soldier grind, I am eating this up gobble gobble

Bro I’m stressed I knew this stupid plan wasn’t gonna work

I have no patience cuz I’m 5 pages further into the book and things are picking up! I’m so scared that these idiots are gonna make plans that mess the others plan up and everything is gonna be horrible. Also how are we feeling abt Paxton? Personally I think he’s being honest but the Seer said that whole bit abt betrayal. Also if he is still lying to Kazi then it’ll work out when Jase inevitably kills him

I really do hate to say it but the book is kinda dragging. Maybe it’s the flipping between POVs every chapter?? Like lots of crumbs are being dropped rn but nothing big has happened in a hot second

“White and cream and taupe and oatmeal” right rightttt those r totally the inner thoughts of a MAN righttttty

It’s stressing me out that Jase knows so little abt what’s going on and the little he does think he knows is all wrong

Ok I remembered fertig but who the flip is the Komizar??

I’m gonna be real this is some stupid magic. Like I don’t really care about magic and am down for a weird magic system, but powder that just amplifies stuff?? (Also like are they just magic mushrooms? Sounds like hallucinogenic)

Genuinely who is fertig, there are so many people I can’t keep them all straight

Oh you better believe I can sniff out a hunger games reference. “You wear orange on Tuesdays” after she says no one knows pays attention or knows her and he’s proving that HE does. THIS IS THAT FREAKING SCENE IN HUNGER GAMES (post peetas brainwash moment) WHERE THEY TALK ABOUT FAVORITE COLORS AND THE TRUE OR FALSE STUFF!!!! Idk if this was intentional or not but omg I love that scene so I’m living it up rn

Lydia and Nash - my deepest apologies, I was unfamiliar with your game

Montegue is such a stupid name

Can king what’s his face stop being a creep and crushing on Kazi so unsubtly. I know he’s supposed to be young and pretty and Whatver but in my mind he’s an old fat guy (cuz he’s a king duh) and I don’t like this mental imagery

The partisans or whatevs at this dinner fawning over the king and general is giving Fox News anytime they talk abt trump

Obsessed with the idea that the cold weather is a result of the city having been taken over, like they really lassoed the clouds too huh
