This book needs the BIGGEST non-consent/SA warning in the universe

Jennifer L. Armentrout writes the exact same way now as she did twelve years ago without a singular improvement. I don't know whether to be exasperated or to applaud the consistency.

Hey, is something going to happen? Ever? At all?

Dragons improve every story by 100%, pass it along

I was promised dragons. Where are all the dragons? Why am I stuck sitting through class after class at Dauntless Hogwarts?

Begging the author to learn a synonym

What a wonderful string of dei-ex-machina this book is. Very chill, low-stakes fantasy. Everyone the author likes is going to be fine, either because they're attractive or because things just work out in their favor. (And most of the time both.)

The fact that Bryce and Hunt suck together literally is ironically a big part of what makes them suck together figuratively.

OH MY GOD, LAINI, WHY SCARE ME LIKE THIS, WHY?! I NEARLY HAD A HEART ATTACK!

Friendship ended with [The Viper Queen]. Now [Demonic White Cat] is my best friend.

Bryce collects My Little Pony figurines and this was just objectively a correct decision to make.

So, one of the villains of this narrative is a man whose stated goal is the liberation of an oppressed minority, and his crime is that he isn't agitating for progress in a polite enough manner?

I feel uncomfy.

Yes, hello, is this where I’m supposed to go if I want to report a mother of all exposition dumps?

When I finish this book and start recommending it, keep in mind that I’m politely inviting you to s u f f e r.

If an ACOTAR fanfic sprouts in Palermo and nobody hears it, did it ever sprout at all?

Listen, I just wanted to read about delicious Italian food. What sin have I committed to be subjected to dialogue this forced instead?

On the off chance that the first book truly sets the tone for the whole year of reading, let's go with bittersweet whimsy.

I feel about the author's insistence on revisiting a dog's murder the same way her protagonist feels about the serial killer: fuck you

Down side: Sydney is incredibly slow on the uptake.
Up side: I'm finally faster than someone without risking falling off a treadmill in the process.
(It has happened, folks. The bruises were magnificent.)

Yes, I am reading this after Wintergirls. No, I don't need help. (Unless it's in the world-domination area. I like efficiency in all my overlordly endeavors.)

I am, in fact, alive. Whether I'll be when this book wrecks me remains to be seen. Let the dread begin.

Spoil it and die.

Just in case my nerdiness ever became a subject of debate.

*pterodactyl screech* AT LAAAAAAST!

Yes, I am reading four books at once.
Yes, I did get a lot of them for Xmas.
Yes, I am indecisive and can't prioritize.
No, I regret nothing.

Just remember: this holiday season you can be lamentably fashionable, or you can wear a Weasley sweater.

Happy Hanukkah to my Jewish friends, Merry Christmas to the Christian ones, and happy Annual Eggnog Pilfering Ritual to the rest!
