I've seen VERY mixed reviews about this book, but so far all I have to say that Alexis is hilarious.

Less than one month until the most anticipated sequel, Bartholomew!!! It's high time for a re-read!

Book 2 immediately has me locked in and I don't want to go to sleep 🥲🥲🥲

The way I am immediately captivated by Iris and Roman, and this story. 🥺

"I fear you think your strength lies in your darkness. But the measure of a man is not the fear he sows in his enemies. It is the hope he gives his friends."

"As those auburn curls swayed with every step she took, he realized the irony of it all. The woman sent to kill him was the only woman who had ever made him feel safe."

The slow burn is burning and I'm living for it 😍 🔥

The Kolass??? Are we kidding??? This man's writing doesn't cease to amaze me

This book is maddening (but also exactly why I love Dramione fanfics)

Sciona arguing with her mentor in this chapter is soooo relevant to the world we live in right now that I'm wondering where my magical abilities are at.

YOU HAVE TO BE JOKING RIGHT NOW???
That didn't just happen. I'm going to flip some tables.

Hi, so um, genuine question here,
HOW do they not know they're in love???

"She didn’t care who saw. She gripped the back of his head, vise-like, and drew his forehead to hers, nose to nose. Her hair was lank and greasy, falling in her face, but he just pushed it back like always. He was always so careful with her.

He caught himself again. “Losing you, living without you would be a fate worse than death.”

I MEAN??

IN WHAT WORLD IS THIS JUST FRIENDS??? HOW DO THEY NOT KNOW THEY'RE IN LOVE???

Not my watch alerting me that my stress level was high because the yearning is stressing me out so much already 🤣🤣🤣

I know slow burn, high yearn is the whole thing with this book but right out of the gate??? No way am I getting out of this unscathed.

"Those who take lightly promises they make to those they love are people who find little lasting satisfaction in life.

This is not an easy time in which to live. That does not mean that it has to be a difficult time to love, but it does mean that you will find unusual stresses upon your lives and your relationship."
Amen, Sazed.

If Zane comes between Elund and Vin, I will RIOT. Elund is actually perfect in my eyes, so, I'm not falling for the bastard son routine.

Also, losing an election because you're a good person and not willing to lie for votes? I thought this was a fantasy novel, Sanderson?

Allomancy is so cool and probably my favorite magic system to date.

The way I didn't see the ending coming at all??? I feel like it was so obvious now that I know, but TOO LATE MY HEART IS BROKEN. And I just sobbed and sobbed over it. Why did I wait so long to read this????

BRANDON SANDERSON
You have me giggling and kicking my feet over a man simply giving a lady his handkerchief. Now, back to our regularly scheduled politically motivated rebellion plot line. 🥰🥰🥰

Hiding on a balcony, at a ball, to read a book in peace? I already like this man.

The multiple timelines and human/demon love triangle are kind of giving Addie Larue parallels, but no where near as good. It just makes me long for V.E. Schwab's incredible writing and miss Henry Strauss all over again.

"What if I told you that you're my entire reason for being? That you're why I wake up in the morning. Every goddamn day from the dawn of time until now. What if I told you that you belong to me in a way no woman ever belonged to a man? That I might be evil personified, but you're the only one I'll ever be good to,"

Morally grey Victorian era love interest? Bridgerton with a supernatural twist?
WHAT IS HAPPENING???

Also, I said I was taking a break from books with war for the sake of my sanity...and then I started one with war literally in the title 😅. Sanity?? I don't know her.

I know his name is Altan, and he's described as having dark skin/red eyes, but my brain heard Alton ONCE and now pictures Alton Brown. Every. Single. Time. A dark skinned, red eyed version of him, of course, but the wispy, blonde, receding hairline, and glasses version. Beating other academy students to a pulp with grace and precision. Do I look up character art to try and correct my brain? Or fully embrace it?

I ripped through the first book but MAN I am struggling with this one. I love these characters, okay, but there's actually like too much spice and not enough plot happening fast enough for me. Yet somehow it also feels like there's too many directions the story is going at once.
