IM CRINGED OUT I’m cringed out it’s AAAALLWAYS inexperienced woman with mysterious man

Listen, that read like a first kiss from an adult book. This is decidedly not an adult book. They should not feel the same!!!

Bad writing bad writing bad writing bad writing

I just can’t believe manhattan is all there’s left AND somehow, Central Park holds enough to sustain the entire island

The book mention chicken earlier, are you telling me there’s chickens running around Central Park?!

This better be propaganda told by the gov because I just cannot believe this is true

“Central Park tree farm…represents the sum total of the usable construction wood left in the world” HUH

“Without much wildlife left in the world, the city’s green spaces are carefully curated…offering sustenance and a suitable environment for a handful of species necessary for us to sustain life” HELLO

maybe it’s better to gloss over sooooome world building cause I have SO many questions now

“He really isn’t, but the vibes are immaculate” the vibes are immaculate the VIBES are IMMACULATE????! Why is TikTok slang in my YA dystopian book!!! Get rid of it please thank you!!

The similarities to divergent are … interesting

I am so TIRED of the “he’s brooding and has tattoos and wears all black and is HUUUGE and has a deep voice and is so mysterious and and and and” it is SO overdone and lazy

There’s no uniqueness to this character and it’s time for it to RETIRE

I’m also tired about reading the same thing over and over. I get that’s the point of the book, so this style just really isn’t for me I think

I’m struggling with the voices of our two writers. It feels like Una and Owen in dialogue are different than Una and Owen in prose. I also don’t feel like I have a steady foundation for their relationship, so everything that follows feels theoretical. Maybe that’s the point, and maybe that means it’s not for me. I’m not sure yet

“One eye was half bronze, and though whatever divine being had pointed Saraphine Marchant had run out of sky, and had to reach, instead, for earth”

“After Lia was killed, the Emperor put her corpse on a throne and made her enemies kiss her dead feet. Then he ripped their hearts out. ‘Now you know how it feels,’ he murmured, his face the last thing their facing vision ever saw. Villainous characters had epic highs, epic lows, and epic loves. The Emperor loved like an apocalypse.”

Enjoying this so far!! Excited about where it’s going to go

This book could be half as long and we wouldn’t miss anything

She can’t even get into the bus seat this is so tragic

Johnny this isn’t you !!!! It isn’t you 😜

Chapter 50 is a piece of WORK

WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHES TOO SMALL FOR THE BAR STOOLS 😭😭😭😭 There’s just no way

Sorry but it’s giving “one direction bought me and now I’m going to live with them” like I’m sorry!!! But it is!!!

The most interesting part of this book is the dynamic she has with her family, I am way more interested in her and Joey’s relationship than anything else

The male POV is making me so mad rn TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE PLEASE

This writing style sucks
