So far the only thing I like about the book is the diversity. The writing is somewhat artless and juvenile. The main character is a bit dense and unlikable, which sucks because it’s been only her POV.

Shout out to the voice actors. True professionals. But the male voice actor is killing me. The husky voice is too exaggerated and a caricature. The southern accents for Travis and his friend had be cackling. I started hearing banjos in my head. “James, you’re bleeding!” Sent me to the moon.

Brigitte Knightley,
I submit my formal apology for shitting on your first book. I was unfamiliar with your game. Why am I crying?! Kudos to you, mama.

A standing O

Was Baldair not enough, Elise?!

Katy is also a master of talk no jutsu… I understand how what she says might help, but it’s so corny. Humans have hated other for centuries but can put our differences aside to reach our common goals and go back to hating watch other again. Remember that guy? Yeah, he wouldn’t approve of what you’re doing.

I couldn’t help but notice no one was grabbing toilet paper. That would be the first thing I grabbed if I thought it was the end of the world.

How is every cover ugly?

What in the fullmetal alchemist

Part 2 dropped just when I was getting bored, but now I’m left wanting. There’s little new bits scattered here and there, but it’s tedious: success/failure in the war, political intrigue, fighting/magic system world building. It’s creating a long path of gunpowder and I need a spark ASAP!

I wanna puke. Goodbye to female bodily autonomy during womens history month?!

I should rewatch eternal love instead

A lot has happened, healing, political intrigue, and pining, but, most definitely after learning there’s a second book, boo, it feels like we’ve only hit the halfway point of the story. The breakthroughs don’t feel substantial enough to me. It’s a quick, enjoyable read.

It’s bones set (badum tss) in fantasy

I need a fun book and it’s already delivering. The dedication page(?) is pspsps. Yes. Dramione fanfic here we gooooo

Dov is so cringe

*lets out a sad sigh* I just wanted to google the character and join people praising what a sweet person they are… this is like my a little life reading experience all over again. No more googling nice characters in books!

Kaori gathered him so fiercely. You at that up.

“My ambitions for you are slowly being realized, and, even though you are unhappy, console yourself with the thought that it was part of my plan for you to be unhappy for a while” thanks, dad…

Didn’t know I would be sobbing today. Thanks, Seto and Mikako.

the high from binge-watching the anime has died. I'm invested in who/what the White Lady is, but things aren't moving. I am glazing over the political intrigue and economics. The only thing that will save the pacing is Mike Tyson making people kith.

It feels like two books glued together: the sequel or spin-off is attached. If the book ended at the halfway mark, without exploring life after/other relationships, I wouldn’t leave desiring for more. The figurative and literal chapter is complete. Now the rest of story is giving me even more of things I don’t want/need.

This book is erotica. Paying people a living wage and ensuring they have a good work/life balance for their mental health?!

So far, it's like watching Penny Dreadful, but without the sex and nudity and more sapphic. There are a lot of commas, asides, interjections, etc., which has me gasping for air trying to finish a sentence. Chop chop!

Not me nodding along to Vaisra basically saying “just stop being depressed/having PTSD; I don’t see how hard that is” good ole pull yourself up by your bootstrap
