RIP to my 2nd printing hardcover, quite literally, this will be my last read from this copy as the binding is looser than the 8th’s will be at the end of this book.

God and now my poor guy Sameth is going through it. He’s just a little guy! Let him build his toys in his tower!

Lirael my darling, my GIRL.

Yeah no I’m definitely going to be fine. Colonel Horyse definitely doesn’t break my heart every time.

“For luck, Sabriel” 25 years later and this line is still the sweetest.

Mogget saying “I can see time” when they exit the funerary cavers… what did that mean?! I don’t think we ever found out? And why could Sabriel hear voices?

The actual romance girlies are going to go FERAL over this.

Mass market so beloved it’s hard to turn the pages.

I 🖤 mean women

What if you were TIRED? And it was HOT? And you were stuck with the same THEATRE NERDS for like OVER A HUNDRED YEARS?

To be know is to be loved. Thank you to Sophie and Charlotte for immediately telling me about this when it went up on Edelweiss.

I think the reason I’m not enjoying this as much as I wanted is the fact that I don’t speak French and there’s no translation and like all of the theatrical lines are French. Like, I can get by from the context clues but I feel like I’m missing a lot. And yes, I could look it up each time; but would you? Really I should just be making Wolky translate for me.

I just split my own lip in reaction to impending dread.

Shakespeare is canon.

“Love, which was more dangerous than the sharpest blade, and sweeter than the last fig on a branch. *Let me taste it,* she thought. *Let me cut myself on it. I do not care.* God I LOVE a doomed lovers gothic fantasy. This book is ruining me.

This book is so fucked up. Like I’m having a blast but I keep putting it down and going “what the fuck”.

And for the lady, perhaps some familial cannibalism?

The yeeeeeearning.

Oh I’m already eating this up.

My monolingual ass is struggling; I really wish I had kept up with Latin.

Not for a single second have I had any idea what was going to happen in this book. Everything has been insane. I’m so happy.

Anna Dorn; you are exactly my brand of heroine.

The worst part about reading arcs is it means I have even longer to wait until I can read the next one and I just know the cliffhanger is going to kill me. I’m seeing the currents and eddies, Victoria! I really like where this is going!

Prepare to be sick of me

Lenore, my darling, two things can be true and once and also you are in DANGER.

So you know how committed to the bit I am I’m considering staying up until the blood moon.

I don’t really read books written by men anymore and I did not miss reading phrases such as “pendulous breasts” but this is fun I guess! SJM for boys.

I can’t stop reading. It’s like a car crash. Both in an anachronistic sense and an emotional sense.

By the way if anything happens to Princess Donut I’m killing everyone and then myself.
