idk, it is kind of boring, the whole premise i mean. we have ANOTHER murders and they are explained so early into the book, then there is some action and then we deal with the bad guy in one page and what is the rest of the book? All Earstripe related?
I must say I find this romance the easiest to digest, but i think it is only because we don't oogle women's boobs all the time, otherwise it is just as badly written.

nevermind...bro has almost died multiple times and he is trying to figure out how to get them all out of certain death but he still thinks about fucking the other guy. HOW STUPID ARE THESE STORIES??? nobody thinks like this, no people like this exists, this is so out of touch with basic humanity that it hurts

Hold on this is kinda good? Only if the author did not feel the need to include the uncomfortable bits around the sexual attraction that ruin the good moments, this would be good as fuck ????

So far I don't hate it. It is cringe and yes the romance is OUT THERE instantly but I kind of dig this for what this is. Galen is cool so far, not a dick and Piper is also alright. God please let this book stay this way.

i hate this. their actions have no consequences and make no sense. and i hate how sex oriented this book is and their intense desire does not make sense at all for these characters especially. I JUST WANTED SOME PALADIN ROMANCE AND I GOT FUCKING HORNY DIARIES...WHY DO I SUBJECT MYSELF TO THIS???

I hate this. All the characters are supposed to be 30, but their conversation is like "And celibacy? *wink hihi*" ON SECOND DAY OF KNOWING EACH OTHER? And the conversation is there only so our love interest can finally start properly fantasizing about WOMAN HE IS ALMOST IN LOVE WITH AFTER JUST TWO DAYS OF KNOWING HER and BE JELAOUS OF HIS GAY FRIEND WHO IS TALKING TO HER?
I will finish this ONLY out of SPITE.

Shit this really sucks, i forgot how eh, ugh, no this whole book is.

d) stephen is just horny bro and knits socks lol
e) the pacing is weird
f) i just feel so smart just because all of them are just fucking stupid

NORMAL PERSON WOULD THAT
NOTMALN PERSON WOULD NOT THIS
I AM NOTMAL PERSON, AND WANT TO OFF MYSELF :)
The insta lust is pissing me off, but t.kingfisher is just like that, assuming that people in their 30s and 40s just become awkward when it comes to love or...?
I kind of hate Grace lol, Stephen is okay, mostly because he knits, but i just cannot get behind these characters, they feel like they got a lobotomy recently

"AND NOT BAD LOOKING ONE. RAOWR"
You are on a thin ice book, don' t make me hate you. I already knew the romance is not going to be for me (this time it makes much less sense than in her other books because the characters are not awkward or lacking people around them or love) but this on page 54? i refuse this, i hate it. It reads like cheap romantasy and the plot is not even that interesting to make me forget this.

"I have many mothers. If I am hideous, then we are hideous together. And that made it easier, because in her heart of hearts, she could not believe that her mothers were anything but beautiful." k, t.kingfisher, you got me good...

Bro all i have to say is BOOBS BOOBS AND BOOBS.
I have Paladin's Grace flashbacks and now I remember a bit better why I did not like that book lol. I am so uncomfortable with Sarkis and his inner monologue, it is so icky and ew and i want him to just stfu....
but I have to say (ashamed as i am, yes) that I do love the "touch her and die" trope...
Also I am here for the gnole and Zale!!! My beloved ZALE!!!!

I forgot how much Kingfisher loves boobs. It is almost like i am trapped in a male gaze and not even the guy feeling guilty for objectifying women in his head is making me comfortable reading about him thinking about her boobs every page. I need to constantly tell myself that he has not been around women for centuries and she (in a way) around men, so it makes sense that they are acting like horny lovestruck teens!

Yo I kinda love this what the hell? I giggle and kick my feet? The romance in the sense of them being attracted to each other is not that compelling to me and it is sometimes a bit ewew, but their dynamic is fun, the story is interesting so far and I actually often find the dialogues funny. I just hope it will remain this way and not flop near the end. 🤞

It's so boring, and I keep getting the feeling that this book is meant for people who don't pay attention. Because everything is explained three times and presented in the simplest way possible. The plot is just boring. There’s nothing in it to keep us on the edge of our seats, and the characters aren’t interesting. As always, I’m disappointed in T. Kingfisher. Great premise, poor execution.

I DIED FROM CRINGE! THERE IS NO COMING BACK FROM THIS. THIS BOOK LOST ME FULLY, RIGHT HERE! "Don’t call her Sunshine...Because she is moonlight. The mist that shrouds the mountains. The bite of electricity in the air before a storm. The smoke that rolls across a battlefield before the killing starts. You have no idea what she is. What she could be. You should call her Majesty." I WILL PISS MYSELF! WHAT A LOSER XD

I am no stranger to romantasy or someone to yuck someone else's yum. I’ve read "bad" books that i loved, and you will never catch me making fun of people who enjoy these types of stories - tough i do have thoughts about booktok, and they aren't exactly nice. But this book is objectively bad and i hate it with my entire soul. Still, my mom didn't raise a quitter and i am pushing through this for my bookclub besties.
