been reading this since march 4… I think? trying not to stress too much about tracking my reading at the moment

guesstimating on progress because I don’t have my kobo on me right now but this is SO GOOD SO FAR

vocabulary expanding at rates we have not seen since I was in school

not quite loving it like I loved water moon but this is good so far! I want more about Q’s degenerative vision disease, feeling a little unsatisfied that we just magically hand wave it away as soon as he boards the train

this prose is SO addicting oh my goodness. I thought I knew crosswords but I am learning SO many new words - I think I am going to go back + start logging all of my new vocabulary words!

there better be a sequel in the making… I am concerned about how many pages are left

why is everything sharp and why does everything have weight

Time is moving *really* fast in this book. I see how it serves the narrative, but I feel like I would be more attached to the new generation of characters if I had more time with them.

currently: thinking about the quote about the KKK that goes something along the lines of “white women sewed the hoods that the white men wore”
probably getting the wording wrong but that’s not the point - Jaqueline blames men for the world’s problems but basically canonically created Amazon on steroids.
