I love how Juliette finds resemblance in Alisa and Benedikt to Roma. Idk I just find that so sweet. Also her parents are pmo. I pray Benedikt and Juliette LOCK IN AND SAVE THEMMMMM. even though I fear they’re probably not…

This won’t end bad, right??? RIGHT?? also it’s cool that Kathleen is going by Celia now. Also that she’s working alongside the workers. I fw that. I PRAY they don’t find Roma, Juliette and Alisa 🙏🏾. Also the little wedding they had?? I’m literally crying why are all their scenes so adorable and warm and love and UGH.

“Juliette,” he whispered eventually.
“Mhmm?”
“Is this okay?”
“It’s perfect.”

I wonder what this scene could possibly be implying ☺️☺️

FINALLYYYYYY

I thought I’d be happy when Tyler died but I find myself grieving a version of him that doesn’t exist anymore 💔💔. I believe that if the blood feud didn’t exist, Tyler would’ve been someone loyal, always serving his people.

“I think, you do yourself a disservice by refusing to hope.”
YES BENEDIKT TALK SOME SENSE INTO HER. I also love their newfound friendship.

“If Rosalind was whipped like this for leaking Scarlet information and protecting an ordinary White Flower, then what was Juliette’s fate if they were to ever find out about her past with Roma Montagov?”

Roma who never misses a shot missing everytime he tries to kill Juliette and Roma who sucks at knife throwing stabs her shoulder. This is my Roman Empire. He quite literally knows he could kill her if he tried. Not w knife throwing though, bc according to Juliette he sucks ahh

I. LOVE. Marshall and Juliette together. They have such a cute bond, above the gangs. He understands her reasons to keep him hidden, and she knows he will. The way he was wiping her tears and holding her 😢😢😢.

Already like this sm more, THE KISS?????? What do you MEAAAAAAAAN ?!?!

THIS IS THE TENSION I WANTED IN THE FIRST BOOK YESSSSSS. I mean I still wish they both hated each others guts but this is a close second

Poor Benedikt and Marshall 😔😔. Marshall was the one that saved Benedikt AHHH.

Ok omg I love the scene where The Scarlet Gang and The White Flowers receive the letter and Roma & Juliette read it at the same time !! It’s like a movie !! I love this book more already. Maybe bc the prose has grown on me.

“Roma Montagov kicks a chair. ‘God—‘
‘—damnit,’ Juliette Cai finishes with a whisper, far across the city.”

JULIETTE “KILLING” MARSHALL TO SAVE ROMA AND ROMA NOT KNOWING THE TRUTH UGHHHH GET ME OUTTA HERERERE

“I’m going to kiss you now.” Very direct love love. Honestly I love them together. PLEASE DONT BREAK MY HEART 🙏🏾💔

Things r picking upppp. I still wish there was more tension between Roma and Juliette, the author is depending too much on what happened before instead of what is happening right NOW. I think I already said that tho. THE DRUNK CONFESSIONNNNNN. also I love how Roma actually hates violence like yesss love u king.

IM GETTING BOOOOORED. theres so much happening and the povs r getting rlly confusing. I just hope it all ties in tg at the end.

I wish there was more tension between them right now rather than depending on their past as lovers. Cuz the only tension there is is the fact that they have a blood feud and fell in love nonetheless. But nothings happening CURRENTLY. I want to SEE, not be TOLD.

I’d be lying if I said I understood what was happening. Things r picking up yet they’re slowing down at the same time? But I persevere ! ✊

So basically they all think the madness is caused by the Communists? And Communists want the alliance of the Scarlet Gang? But also this dude called Larkspur has a cure but is also working with the Communists?????? What the sigma is happening??? I WISH this book was written in first person or at least had titles to refer to the pov bc it’s getting annoying and confusing

Bruh I love Roma and how he was written realistically and not the typical brooding morally grey nonchalant 6’7 mmc.
“Don’t you forget who I am.”
And then throws up bc of the fight like yesss I love a guy who doesn’t just fight for no reason !!

“Lines that read like scripture in appearance were in truth nothing but sin.” OK THIS WRITING IS GROWING ON ME 🤏🤏🤏😛😛😛🥳🥳

“If her body refused to forget who Roma once was to her, how was she to make those same limbs rebel from their nature, make them destroy him?”

UGHHH YOU TELL MEEEEEEEEE

“That’s not a necklace, is it?”
“It is not, Bàba.”
“That’s garrote wire, isn’t it?”
“Indeed it is Bàba.”
“How many other weapons have you concealed on yourself?”
“Five, Bàba.”

Goals

Ts getting interestingggg

GUYS THIS IS TOO MUCH GORE FOR 20 PAGES.

First the maids DIE, then they find bugs in peoples scalps 🤢

It’s such a good story though, and because the writing is immersive, it’s kind of hard to simply skim thru those parts. But I am. Cuz ain’t no way I’m reading allat at 11:11 in the morning.

I still feel like this writing is a liiiittle too try-hard. Like, it’s good? And I’m getting used to it for sure. But some parts I’m just like….. why??
