Huxley would have loved TikTok. And by love, I mean hate.

Editors must be going extinct. I'm 14 hours into this audiobook and only at 40%. So much is completely unnecessary padding to a narrative that is only barely holding my attention. The author is pretty full of herself if she really thought all of this was important for context to a story with little to no complexity.

Catherine: I can fix him!

Ms. Nelly, who has seen this all before, whispering: don't...

Just when this was only barely holding my interest, we jump back in time four years to - I guess - finally explain why Helena is the way she is?

It hasn't explained why she's boring as hell though. I really can't believe this character is supposed to be (based off) Hermione Granger...

I still don't know how I feel about this.

Everyone: This is the greatest love story of all time!

Me: These people are mentally ill

"You sound as enslaved as I am!" Said to a man in a mansion with limitless political power, by a woman who is a magically shackled political prisoner, who is regulary tortured and violated, and has seen all of her loved ones murdered and turned into zombies, after finding out he was forced into an arranged marriage.

Guys.

GUYS.

WHAT THE FUCK

I will keep saying this until it's no longer true, but I am still surprised I'm not hating this.

"She still didn't know what transference would entail. Despite the frequent references made to it, no one had explained to her what Ferron would be doing."

Girl that makes two of us.

Honestly, this isn't the dumpster fire I was expecting it to be, but I can already see that it does way too much with far too little.

Let the brain rot commence. I'm wasting good Spotify streaming hours for this nonsense...

"Only spiders can keep the demons away."

Demons it is.

Opening up this book is like opening a can of Pringles.

You know what's worse than regular zombies? Zombie kraken.

You read that right.
