Just finished it, and I'll take some time to write a brief review in a few days, but wow. Thunder Song has all the power of Red Paint but with more clarity, vision, and refinement. Spectacular

Enjoyed it even more on a reread!

"The only question is this:
Do you have enough empathy and yearning and desperation to connect to others outside yourself and scream into the void in four-part harmony? Enough brainpower and fine motor control and aesthetic ideation to look at feathers and stones and stuff that comes out of a worm's more unpleasant holes and see gowns, veils, platform heels?

"There is, it would appear, something about the achievement of sentience that immediately fills the afflicted with the longing to become something else, something brighter, something wilder and more fearsome and morbid and covered in felt and glue and glitter, to escape into the mask of some other impossible life, and to afterward consumer vast quantities of sweets."

Maybe this book is my vibe, after all

Oh, Elena, honey, Bruno is no good for you

Why do I keep finding myself reading relationship horror? Where did the other horror tropes go?

Holy shit

Shits getting real

"You can't Voltron your way out of every problem!"

"But I can Voltron my way out if this problem"

The struggle is real

Started out feeling rather unoriginal (too much reused of what others have done better), but finally settling into the protagonist's story

Horror fan protagonists...Silvia, you are speaking my love language
