"I had never known that another possibility existed, a chance at everything I wanted. That if I won this war of Anlai, I could be known and accepted for who I was. in victory, I could have my sword, my name, my freedom. I could protect those I loved. I could, in turn, be loved for it.

My power, I recognized it now for what it was. a gift.

I would make this fate mine"

Oh so this is satire huh

"She should have studied science, not spent all her time with her head in novels. Novels gave you a completely false idea about life, they told lies and they implied there were endings when in reality there were no endings, everything just went on and on and on."

So true, bestie.

Jesus Christ, I always forget how funny this book is, and then I read it again, and I am laughing so hard. Some of these lines are just absolutely hilarious. I adore Kendra Donovan and her dry sense of humor. Not to mention the fact that I see her as somewhat of a female version of Dr. Spencer Reid- just more self aware and able to pick up on social cues than he is. Not that I don't love Spence... I love him actually

"Love isn't always as pretty or pure as people like to think. There's a darkness in it sometimes. Draco and I go hand-in-hand. I made him who he is. I knew what his runes meant when I saved him. If he's a monster, then I'm his creator. What did you think was the source of all his rage?

"I promised- every time you asked, I promised I was yours always. There aren't any exemptions or expiration dates on always."

Tear my heart out of my chest holy shit. I know that me reading this book is going slow going but jesus christ it is just so much raw emotion and that is why. I don't think I could even count the number of times I have cried lol.

"...If the Order has decided you're an affordable casualty and sends you out to be mowed down as battle fodder, l will not be noble. I have no compunction against exacting dual revenge. I will make Potter pay if he gets you killed."

In desperate need of a break from Manacled, and the fact that this book is due back to the library soon and I've renewed it 3 times (I've been distracted reading other books), I have been giving this a crack

Severus' mouth twitched, the suspicion faded from his eyes but his expression tensed. "In that case, if you manage to succeed you're as likely to destroy the Order as save it. I hope you realise by now how dangerous he is. If you superseded whatever his current ambition is in that manner-"

Listen, this is making me quite delusional. There are little ideas popping into my head making me think, 'Hey, maybe I will enjoy other Dramione fanfics'. This is why I have put off reading this work of art for so damn long. The complexity of Draco Malfoy in this damn book is messing with my mind. I can't remember the last time a fanfic had me in such a chokehold because what the actual hell.

Finally, Malfoy was standing over her, his face white, his eyes glittering with rage, "I have warned you. If something happens to you, I will personally raze the entire Order. That isn't a threat. It is a promise. Consider your survival as much as a necessity to the survival of the Resistance as Potter's. If you die, I will kill every last one of them."

Oh geez, where do I start. I am 12% in and this book has already begun to consume my entire being. It has been awhile since a fanfic, let alone any book has done this to me. I don't want to sleep. I don't want to work. All I want to do is snuggle into a cozy chair and read this damn thing. And this is why I hesitated to read it for so long, Because I know exactly what would happen. Even as a Sevmione gal, this has me

Okay here we go!! Wish me luck !!!

THE ONLY ONE BED TROPE!

This book is so witty and charming so far! Hoping it’s the one to kick me out of my reading slump!

The ANGUISH!

no bc why is the dark hard mean boy actually soft and romantic? WHEN IS IT MY TURN

Xaden with silver scars criss-crossed across his back? Okay Jamie Fraser

stop because why is this so good?

Only reading because of Sam

Bro I know that this is not a romance at all but why do I want there to be romance. Like imagine Mallory in her normal body at her normal age in the same time period with Duncan brb while I internally scream because we all know Mallory finds Duncan extremely attractive

I’m turning red. I am reading this at the library and did not expect there to be hot smut omfg i’m flaming sosos

I am halfway through this and my empty head is getting ideas. I need a man to have a nickname to get a rise from me and then also call me sweetheart why oh why am I not being romanced like Winnie. Brb before I start foaming at the mouth

I meant to finish this book weeks ago but then a breakup and life happens… which is okay! though i still find myself thinking about this book very often when i’m not reading it. Can’t wait to finish it and write a review as I’m listening to what’s technically an ARC of the audiobook. 1.5 hours left baby!

Listen. I don’t think y’all understand how important this book has become to me as a nishkwe. This book is about my people, the area where my people are from… i’ve never felt more seen or represented, especially as a white passing nishkwe like Daunis

I had no clue this book takes place in the Soo!! My tribe is a few miles south of the soo and partly located on Sugar Island. I’m crying why do I feel so represented???

Stop because I just saw some of my GR book reviews from when I was in high school and want to choke.

Also I got two ARCs from my second job at a bookstore, so I am screaming about free books.

Jamie asking Claire “What do you think I am, man or a bumblebee?” after she was waxed and lathered with floral oil absolutely SENT me

Screaming the work ‘Yes’ repeatedly because Rosalind realizes so does not want to be Duchess therefore giving her a chance with Adam Harkness YESIR
