This book just cements my stance that Feyre and Rhys needed to wait a few centuries to have a baby. I don't care about leaky breasts or nap schedules. Plot, where are you?

And while I'm ranting... Cassian, go fuck yourself!

OMFG I have complained many times over the last few SJM releases that this woman needs a new editor or no longer has one and I STAND BY IT! Why, oh why am I hearing about her breastfeeding and breast milk for the 5th time. I DON'T CARE, SARAH!!!! It's 2am, I'm over 50% of the way through this book and there's been minimal plot but oh yes, please talk about Feyre's leaky tits AGAIN!!!

I want to lie and say I am utterly gripped by this story... but this is just been 60 pages of people talking at each other and I am tired.

Long chapters are my nemesis... I hate them.

Currently this book feels completely pointless to me...

Oh my, she's insufferable.

I decided to give book one another try to see if I like it more on a reread (currently my least favourite in the series) and apparently I'd forgotten just how gross Zanders was at the start of this book. Immediate ick that he never recovers from. I fear my rating isn't likely to change.

If the *emotional damage* sound was a book.

How did this get labelled a romance book?!? This is a horror. If this is what we consider romance in 2025, I'm glad I found it 2006 instead.

I can't say she didn't deserve it.

They said this was like Daisy Jones and they weren't lying. I mean, the main character of each is utterly insufferable. I'm loving the book but, my God, do I hate Katarina right now.

Why is his father acting like this is scandalous? Sir, they're strangers to each other.

Maybe this book wouldn't be a ridiculous 528 pages long if she stopped making me read fanfic within a book that I give 0 fucks about! It's giving flashbacks to Fangirl and there's a reason I hated that book too.

It's funny to me how this book started with these two calling each other depraved and deviants for the kinky shit they're into... and then have proceeded to have the most vanilla of sex over and over again 😂. The books good so I don't care, but I do find it funny.

If they meet up one more time and have the EXACT SAME fight for the 100th time, im throwing the book across the room!

This is EVERYTHING. I've laughed. I've cried. I've cried some more. Then laughed through tears. I've swooned. It is everything!

This is boring me to tears.

This reads like more of a fantasy than Bride, which is impressive when this is about two chess players.

This is giving me intense Letters to Juliet vibes and I am OBSESSED!

The fact I got auto-approval for this! I will never recover.

This book is giving me the ick. Full body shudders kind of ick.
