So… who knew so much emotion could be crammed into this short of a book? Because someone pass the tissues, thanks!

I love Elara

Can one be in a reading slump and simultaneously obsessed with the book they’re reading? Cause I think that’s me right now.

Tomorrow, I’m about to reread this 30 page chapter, because good lord there’s so much to discern!

Was it worth losing a breast though? I know options were limited, but losing it because of Maxixe? Unjust.

“Only people who think they have a future fear death.” I’m not ready to finish this world. I am also preparing myself for heart break. I just- the message and purpose of this entire series will forever set it apart from anything I have or ever will read.

There are so many good philosophical literary references. I love anyone who appreciates Camus.

Now that I’m past the half-baked intro, this book is actually a fun lil read.

I want this book to be good. It’s so highly praised. And I still have high hopes… but the set up for the premise of this book is horribly half-baked. Especially when considering what this author is known for. The reasoning for this story is being set up in such a terribly cliche way, with very basic form. For such a deep topic… it deserves more effort and depth.

I had zero intention of annotating this book, especially because I did it with my last read (a labor of love, but it absolutely deserved annotating). As I started reading this though, some damn good lines had me wondering if I should. THEN there was a Slaughterhouse Five reference, so now I’m annotating 😅

THATS MY GIRL!!! ITS A FUCKING COUP!

All I can say is, ahhh shit.

Ahhhh so much is happening! So many feels!

He’s a menace but Baster never fails to be funny

At first, I didn’t want Schaffa’s pov. He can go kick rocks. And though, he can still go kick rocks… SO much just unfolded and now I absolutely NEED to know everything.

Don’t worry, I’m judging me too.

Muriel… what a woman!

So Muriel is a badass is her own right.

And… what just happened to Arthur is tragic.

Starting off strong 😭

I have to stop reading here for tonight because ish is getting too real and this is the kind of intensity that needs to be saved for tomorrow because ahhh I’m not ready for this ending.

Ahhh! So much! I love so much of this. The whole metaphorical story not being told from that story that is being told. The woman that is all three of them! Syenite… I love her. I love this story. And Alabaster too!

Good lawd it’s so good!
