"you should've called for me. if you put my name in your mouth, I will always listen" ... imagine me holding my own throat choking myself to death

this shit is crazy!!!

you know when a story is so good you want to eat it?

(246) experiencing real anger because ah-duo is such a cool character and I dont get enough of her here

(goodreads thinks my book has less pages than it does so pretend this is for 227) jinshi you stupid freak

nvm i'm not only around gyokuyou's age i'm exactly lihua's age HELLO 😋

currently winning at book club

"shut up" "I very literally said nothing" "well your eyebrows are raised very loud" your honor I love them

you're telling me gyokuyou is about my age? you're telling me i have a chance with gyokuyou?

for how similar the formula for this story is to 'don't let the forest in' i am pleasantly surprised by how different this manages to feel

maryse you are so cool we should kiss

the difference between power born in hatred and power born through righteous anger and justice and community and dare i say it love??? love is more powerful than hate forever!!!

apparently rn i can only read doomed queer romance that I don't realize will be so tragic until I'm crying

I wish I had the words to describe the tone and prose I'm frankly stunned

AND ANOTHER THING why is every review upset about word choices. yeah it's very clear khaw tried to get creative with the verbage but thesaurus.com is fun sometimes! it's not like it's unreadable, just use context clues! I haven't had an issue understanding it once, even with the words I've never heard of and can't define

i'm fascinated, this is nothing at all like what I expected

mermaid and plague doctor on the front cover. you had to know i was gonna pick it up.

I think i just figured something out and if I'm right I not only need to cry but I need to reread from the top
