I forgot how interesting the writing of the opening scenes are.

I keep forgetting to update this lol

Kara ilysm, you're making bad choices but I'd probably do the exact same thing in your situation

Nikita and Sheela!! I honestly can't remember much of them from my first reread but I love them sm. Also finally Rudy gets a proper introduction, he's been popping up here and there over the last two books

Aiden making direct eye contact with Aru and being like I DONT LIKE YOU ROMANTICALLY twice in one book is crazy
Also love him using the love arrow to make his mother love herself rather than parent trapping his parents
Also the foreshadowing for the other two pandavas!! I only remember that one of them was called Nikita and that they liked fashion lmfao
Anyways onto The Tree of Wishes!

Love that this is the second time that Aru makes a "mean" choice -> stopping Lady M despite empathising with her and making that one guy lose all his memories of his wife in the first book. I love it when characters have to make hard/harsh choices to do the right thing instead of power of friendshipping their way out of a bad situation

Ik that Mini gets kidnapped to give Aru some time to warm up more to Brynne and Aiden but NOO WE'RE BEING ROBBED OF MINI CONTENT :(((

The Brynne and Mini erasure on the cover is insane
Also I've already finished the book, I just want to update different parts with my thoughts

Omg I just realised that I forgot to add that I finished this
I love this book!!! Mini my daughter oh how I love you
Aru is such an interesting protagonist, I love that her flaw is lying rather than something vague and generally good like "loyalty" or being "too kind"
I can't remember if the vision Aru saw at the end of the book comes up or not, same with her curse to forget. I hope it does

THE END HAD ME SOBBING OMFG
MARIAM MY LOVE YOU DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER
AND LAILA GOING BACK TO THE KOLBA AND READING THE LETTER I-
KHALED HOSSEINI WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST MY HAPPINESS
SUMEIYA WHY WOULD YOU RECCOMMEND THIS TO ME

I have so many thoughts omgg. I feel bad for Nana - she's clearly had a hard life - but I hate how she treated Mariam. I wonder how much of the stories she and Jalil told Mariam were true, and how many they made up to make themselves look better. I hate Rasheed for how he treats Mariam too - she's young enough to be his daughter!! I just finished Laila's first chapter; I'm scared for her after reading about Mariam

I read the entire book in 1 go the day I got it and forgot to update my Goodreads lmfao
I loved it!! It was a pretty simple book, but the worldbuilding was really interesting. I liked Red and Blue's dynamic, and I really enjoyed the ending

I loved Silverborn!!
I really liked all the Dragonriding worldbuilding, and I loved the new lore about Morrigan's mother and the Silver District
I hope we see more of the Guiltghast in future books, and I'm really looking forward to meeting the Weaving Divinity in book 5
I think Lottie and Louis St James were fun new additions, and I hope we get to see more of them and Noelle in the future

Started my Nevermoor reread in preparation for Silverborn!!
I'm wondering if we'll see more of the Republic in the future, now that we've met Maud. I wonder if the wunder shortages in Far East Sang and Southlight will be important in the future. I love how Jessica Townsend describes the Gossamer and being a Witness. I just love this book so much

Currently on chapter 16
I love Nora's character. She's an incredibly smart and skilled character who's grief and fear keeps her from reaching her true potential.
I really like how the Midnight Library is described. It's an endless building with books that move around on shelves as if they're on a conveyor belt
Right now, I really don't like Dan. He seems to like having someone to marry more than he likes Nora.
