trying not to jump the gun in saying this, but this is already building up to being my favorite in the series thus far. there has been SO much interesting groundwork laid for the rest of this book and i cannot fucking wait to see how this goes.

finally in the home stretch lesgooooo

see like this book is obviously fantastic just like the three before it, but idk something about this one feels so convoluted and kind of insane that it’s hard for it to keep my full attention idk why 😭 some of the best plot points of the series have happened in this book but i’m also like the stuff in between hasn’t kept me as gripped as the others

okokok NOW im gonna try to finish this

had some life stuff come up that distracted me from reading this but i’m gonna try to finish it now that most of that stuff is over with.

guys this is stressing me out 😭

holy fuck this is going off the rails and i’m losing it 😭

HOLY BANGERRRRR LMAO i absolutely LOVE how political this one has gotten in the last 50 pages or so

THE AIR QUADRANT BOSS FIGHT WAS INSANE, THIS IS GETTING SO FUCKING GOOD NOW

ugh i hate that this just hot fucking WILD right as i’m about to have to go to sleep lol

ya know i’m actually kinda struggling with this one. it hasn’t felt as emotionally compelling as the other books so far, and the action has been at the front and center in a way that kinda feels distracting to me.

there’s nothing quite like sitting in my work parking lot with my windows rolled down and reading like 45 pages before work LMAO

been a little slumpy the last few days but im gonna fix that today

oh FUUUUCK yes this level is fucking insanity, the air quadrant is so Dune coded i’m in love

“They’d all jumped into certain death, just to save me. Me. I couldn’t have survived without them. All my life, I’d felt alone. And now, at the edge of the apocalypse, I finally realized how much I needed other people.” 🥹🥹🥹

ok i will admit this final stand is a little hard to wrap my head around because of how convoluted the iron tangle is, but i’m still having a blast with it despite that.

dude this is genuinely fucking crazy

“Once people learned about why I was collecting the hats, a chorus went out. I’d been expecting people to selfishly hold on to them just in case there was one last trick, or so they could sell them later, but that’s not what happened at all. People worked together. They coordinated. They spread the word.
[…] Yes, I thought. There is hope for us. Not a lot. But it’s there.” ✊✊✊

this is absolute insanity and i’m fucking OBSESSED

HOLY FUCK EVERYTHING IS GOING TO HELL IN A HANDBASKET OH GODDDDD

took a little break from reading because my boyfriend and i spent the last two days together but i’m getting back into it now. gonna try to finish this by mondayyy

“‘Kids aren’t always a product of their parents. But sometimes that doesn’t matter. Sometimes parents can cast a shadow so thick, you can drown in it.’” jesus thats fucking bleak

jesus there’s so much conflict bubbling up just under the surface here. i think this might be my favorite in the series so far personally, i don’t think i understand why this is the lowest-rated

matt dinniman is creating a fantastic guide to community building which is such an important step towards getting people invested in a revolution i love this series so much
