I cannot overstate how much I LOVE Anja’s narrative voice. Pretty much just an aged-up Maomao 💖

i’m sorry WHAT

Lottie is seriously pissing me off

“I want to share the good news with Celeste but I don’t, I respecting her decision to go silent on me.”

Nah, fck that. If you’re in a relationship (or something you want to turn into a relationship), ghosting your partner is absolutely never acceptable. Have some basic courtesy for your partner. Be an adult and use your words.

Gemma deserves better. Justice for Gemma!!!

"If it takes you two months to move on from someone you were engaged to... wow. It must have taken you a week to get over me." — this from Celeste after she dropped off the face of the Earth and completely ghosted Gemma, while KNOWING Gemma spent MONTHS messaging her trying to find out what happened, why she left, if she was okay, if she was ever going to come back.

Not really a fan of Celeste, tbh.

Am I to believe that Rae hasn’t read the first book in a series, but read books two and three? Am I understanding this right? I know I literally just started but what the hell kind of decision making is that??

Seriously hoping that’s not indicative of the FMC’s decisions in the rest of the book 🙏🏽🤞🏽

ARE YOU FCKING KIDDING ME

WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT

This book is such a fever dream wtf

I was expecting psychological horror but not actual blood and guts horror wow wow wow

Do not read before bed if susceptible to weird dreams and nightmares

God I hate it when characters go after villains without telling anyone of their intentions or the secret they’ve uncovered -__-

Like, what’s your plan here? You’re gonna jeopardise your own life and risk everyone else’s livelihood because you couldn’t be bothered to tell a single other person what you’re going to do and what you know. I enjoy this world but god does that authorial decision pmo

That’s it. Vigga’s my fave

Kidan is a runaway train of impulsive and reckless decisions and that makes it reeeeally hard for me to like her. I can’t shake the feeling that the whole plot is just one big miscommunication trope in a trench coat… but is it miscommunication if the protag and antag straight up just won’t have a whole conversation?

oh dear lord we are so screwed

JESUS CHRIST WOMAN WHY DIDNT YOU JUST QUIT??? HOW MUCH WERE THEY PAYING YOU???

HOLY SHIT

They sent a single woman, unaccompanied, without a translator, with no internet, totally ALONE to MYANMAR???

STOP TAKING YOUR FEKKIN CLOAK OFF YOU STUPID GIRL AAAAAAAAGGSHDHDJKDKDJDHDKSF

A RAINBOW FISH???

Co-reading with the audiobook and it's a fun time apart from taking physical damage every time the narrator mispronounces Shinjiro's name lol

Oh, so calling the king "the Shadow King" is meant to be taken literally. It would've been great if Levenseller let us know that demons and magic were real in those first chapters with all that lore dumping & ranting about institutional sexism (which was immediately legislated into a nonissue). Way to bury the lede, my guy.

Not marking as a spoiler because this is just a part of the world, apparently.
