Its time for the reread

This is awesome. Clearly I need to be following my own whims more.

This... Went a way...?????

Holy shit wtf is happening 👀👀👀👀

Oh yes bitch I'm on page fucking *xi* and it's already good as hell 👏😤

FINALLY got that obvious plot point resolved. 😩😩 jesus.

God am I spent with this fuckin book.

An extrely predictable plot point that I hate is definitely going to happen and I will be shocked if not.

God, Sid, don't quit your day job. What a fucking garbage ass detective you are.

Campy af. I love this. It's like reading a 90s tv show.

Yo, this man is a repellant human being. How tf does he manage to find opportunities to constantly inject bootstraps individualist racism into a book about dinosaurs?? Tell me about the fucking giant lizard-birds!!!

Ohhhh am I not into this bc I'm a former catholic and all this ritual stuff feel too much like prayer???

This book was written in 1994??? I've been convinced it was written during the pandemic this whole time. It has a distinct pandemic vibe.

Normally I don't mind how japanese books sound/feel in translation but oh my god why is this so boring. This thing won awards? Why?

Okay now I'm invested 👀

Dude idk when it happened exactly but I am So Done. 😴

I am a pendulum with these books. Mostly towards the "I am annoyed and dont like this" side but then randomly something willbinterest me and I'll be like well...

But no, no. I'm pissed. I don't this this year has given me enough patience to tolerate plotlines that so heavily center narcissist gods and their petty bids for immortality.

Why is this so determined to rid itself of everything I enjoyed about the first one........

Finally getting into it, it felt a little too much like exposition up til now.

This........... Rules.

Oh man, reading the descriptions of giant robots is sure hard to take seriously XD

Ok but Guillermo Del Toro would love this I bet 👀

Popularity of the step-sibling porno genre making some of these interactions feel weird!!!

Yangze Choo is very aware her audience is probably not going to be familiar with Chinese culture, so, sometimes a bit jarringly, her characters will explain things that they would obviously just know for the benefit of their obviously non-Chinese audience. It's humbling to realize I'm being handheld on the symbolism of roosters at funerals bc I'm an ignorant American, but it also helps me engage w the work so...

What was that about the pain threshold?? 😂

I'm enjoying this interpretation of vampires.
