Amélie Wen Zhao is soooo fucking good at world building (ESPECIALLY UNIQUE WORLD BUILDING AND MAGIC SYSTEMS!!!!) and action sequences/suspense and plotting....I love her SOOOOO much man 😭😭😭💔💔💔

Am unfortunately now at the part of the book where I can't stop reading, right when I have stuff to get done 🥲

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! WHY?!?!,!,! 😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔

Picked this up at 2nd & Charles for $3.95 (!!!) because of the pretty cover and interesting synopsis. It's nice and interesting (not boring) so far!!

It's like, fairly interesting so far but I have so many complaints lol

"Memories of our time together flashed before my mind: our years of friendship, our few stolen days of love."

SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!! WHY THE FUCK DID YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT PERSONAL OMG?!?!?!?! AAAAAAAAAAAA THE HURT TToTTTTTTTTTT 3333333333333 I KNOW IT.......I KNOW IT :'))))))))))))))

"And the coward in me recoiled from his disappointment; a lover’s deceit pierced deeper than a friend’s."

NO IT DOESN'T STFU WITH THIS AMATONORMATIVE BULLSHIT!!!! 😡😡😡😡

EEEEEEWWWWWW NOOOOOO THEY STARTED THE ROMANCE!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭🤢🤢🤢🤢

LIWEI REMAINS THE CUTEST AND SWEETEST EVER BRO WTFFFFF 🥺🥺🥺🥺😍😍😍😍😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔

Prince Liwei is the sweetest 🥺😍😍🥰🥰💖💕

Also can't tell if this book is addictive or if I'm just manic and procrastinating lmfao 🫠

Yay crown prince character!!! 😍😍😍😍

...it's 10:50 a.m. I should be sleeping 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

Omg it took SOOOOOO LONG for this SLOW BOOK TO GET ANY INTERESTING lol

Well I like the worldbuilding (high fantasy ancient Japan?) and lore (the incorporation of folk demons + the footnotes and the namesake of Nihaoi is really nice lol)

...even if the prose/voice is...verbose :') I guess that's just how Ancient High Fantasy tends to be and I'm not used to it anymore lol...

Oh boy, how exciting there's an entire section just for combining palmistry with other esoteric arts like reflexology and astrology 😍😍😍 I love combining practices!!

Lmao I just got done reading Alanis Morisette's intro. I'm not surprised her wack ENFP (and prob E4) ass is into this woowoo esoteric ~Jungian shadow~ and ~higher self~ shit. I skimmed the book summary before downloading (Kindle Unlimited) and am intrigued at the premise of reconciling the parts of yourself but am sooooo immediately weary of any ""higher self"" woowoo shit talk lol ESP in psych...fingers crossed -_-

Yeah I can't turn my brain off and make myself sleep evem though I'm utterly exhausted and wanna pass out. I had no attention span to do anything except read a BUNCH of books and watch a shit ton of YT videos today. Today was a Bad Brain Day 🥲🥲🥲

Oh I miss studying the Enneagram but I'm still so burned/feeling lingering leftover Bad Feelings from that whole traumatic debacle last year =_= and I'm not particularly in need of its wisdom for this aspect of my self development right now, I think...I understand the pitfalls and development of being a Type 1/125 pretty well already lol. But maybe I do need to fight off that perfectionism and SHAME eventually =_=
