GOD I FUCKING LOVE THIS SERIES IT’S SO PEAK

I’ve run out of good books to read that exist in the world

this is like if you watched mad max: fury road and snowpiercer and were like ooh I have an idea for a book! yet somehow it’s still not that exciting

we seem to have forgotten to give the protagonist a personality

I’m so BORED

I will be going back and changing all my book ratings to reflect half and quarter stars. prepare to be annoyed

can I get a little less told-not-shown punch-you-in-the-face-with-it foreshadowing and a little more plot progression PLEASE

“So it sounded, more or less, like my gender was *hot slut.*” real tbh

feet of clay + reference to golems = I can’t prove it but leigh bardugo has read discworld

I don’t care how well-rounded these college students are nobody under the age of 30 listens to talk radio

I’m so scared to start this because what if I don’t like it and then this won’t be my favorite series anymore

half this book is just charrière being like “this young 17-year-old woman has such beautiful breasts. I am 105 million years old and I still feel very young and full of vitality”

I’m starting to think only one character is gonna survive this book like damn she keeps killing off absolutely everyone

I must be a minority among romance readers but I wouldn’t find it that romantic for someone to make a speech about the color of my eyes. like okay, her eyes are blue, it’s not like that’s some incredible aspect of her personality

if I never see another author put a comma after “of course” in the phrase “of course not” it’ll be too soon

“an imminently sensible place” everyone watch out it’s becoming sensible! oh you meant EMINENTLY

it bores the shit out of me having to read the same scene from two different perspectives

unfortunately I’m bored

14 pages in and we already have a glaring misused apostrophe (‘s after a last name is POSSESSIVE not plural dang it) and a comma where it has no right being, hmmmm

goodreads just emailed me alerting me that this book is now available. joke’s on them, I’m 225 pages in already

uhhh do we have to use sexual assault as a plot device

if I have to read that he smells like smoke and pine one more time i’m gonna commit arson and make it ACTUALLY smell like smoke

big fan of how nothing has happened in like 80 pages

I need a phone book to keep track of all these characters jesus

are blood vessels visible to the naked eye or how does he know they exist without a microscope

who tf casually knows multiple soap recipes

all this infodumping holy shit

some people can SMELL ANTS???

fuck yeah this is terrifying

am I making things up or does the phrase “somewhat of” not exist
