Guy they’re interviewing: he’s like a snake
Nina: I sat back, absorbing the fact he compared him to a snake.

Like… why did we feel the need to repeat that? Why does the whole book not trust me to understand basic conversation??

This book really force feeds you info and feels
more like FBI for dummies

Reading this so soon after going diving myself, I keep holding my breath. My anxiety is so high and nothing has even happened.

Hey so I DON’T LIKE THIS. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SILLY GOOFY TIME.

Cocaine for toddlers… aight 😂

Princess Donut needs to be promoted to Queen because my girl is SO SMART. I love this cat so much.

For such a short book, it really does like to spend a lot of time saying “When he was a marine-“

Dear God that was visceral

Oh the audiobook narrator for this is not good

Oh I’m crying at work

Not the author of Sherlock Holmes discrediting the first TB “vaccine”

If Matt Dinnaman is gonna do one thing, it’s gonna be to show the dangers of AI.

Princess Donut cameo 👀

EXCUUUUUUUSE ME??????

I really should have seen that coming but OMGGGGGGG

“Respect, that’s all we demand. Recognition of our magnificence. Offerings. Love. Dear. Trembling awe. Worship. Shiny things. Blood sacrifice, some of us very much enjoy blood sacrifice. Truly, we ask for so little.”

This is so painfully bad. Not fun bad just bad bad.

Immediately lost. This is big girl fantasy and I need to lock in 😂

“Who burned Rhea? The Sovereign has forgotten, because her throne sits with its back to the Rim. But you see her glassy corpse every night in your skies.”

Phewwwwwww

This may be the most repetitive writing I’ve ever read.

Essentially:
Ava’s mom: “I love you so much honey!”
Valen’s POV: It’s clear to see that Ava’s mom loves her so much. You can tell by the way she’s talking to her.

Huh?????

Fighting for my life not to dnf this just yet. I think I misremembered my fondness for the first book.

Combining this with Noah Kahan’s new album is like rubbing salt in an open wound.

Not me crying over a being that only exists to eat memories oh my god 😭😭😭😭😭

This book has no right to be this immediately spooky

This series is so funny because what do you mean a wildlife biologist is in a high speed jet ski chase through the streets of Hawaii while a hurricane rages and thieves shoot at her.

NO. She can’t die 😭😭😭

I just cheered out loud omg

Oh this got DAAAAAAAARK

I love this series so much but home girl needs to learn how to write realistic conversations.

Animals facts and nature: fantastic writing
Natural human interactions: stilted and awkward.

Update: my theory was WAY wrong

Pretty sure I’ve already guessed the ending but this is still really fun.
