I am going to finish this book tomorrow Cu Chulainn willing

So far, this is looking significantly better than book 2, which is good...I was a little nervous about this book. Also, I love Gem.

Well, at least I'm screaming at his parents to get divorced a lot less....

The Hallmark comparison was very apt for these vibes

Mare, in the process of getting betrayed by someone she trusted and loved: Also, Mare: "I can fix him!

[ Peter Griffin voice: ] "But since we're all gonna die, there's one more secret I feel I have to share with you: I do not care for Cal."

Also, Mare having to explain what a coup is to the literal rebels is just so funny

I can't say I've ever read anything quite like this, it's a mix of trauma and humour that has me on the edge of my seat for what comes next

Sometimes I forget how futuristic this book is, because it also almost feels like historical fantasy

Even though I am on winter break, I am taking a 3-quarter-long class, so reading over break it is

Is Maven's last straw going to be the rebellion not going as planned, or being called Mavey repeatedly? Who knows, but my money is on the second option

I think we moved on from Cal inventing the motorcycle a little too quickly, and then everything escalated real quick!

Mare, you can't just say you aren't like other girls...als,o Cal having what is obviously a motorcycle but make it a dystopian fantasy is hysterical

Maven's character arc makes so much more sense when you realize Cal calls him Mavey 😂

The King gives theater kid energy, and I love that for him and us (I am aware he's evil)

I love how uncreative the Calore's were in coming up with Mare's new name...they just extended her name to make it sound more formal.

I appreciate how cunty all the Calore’s names are in comparison up everyone else

Farley being randomly British in the audiobook is a choice that is so funny to me

Kilorn is 100% just Gale, but mixed with Killian from Once Upon a Time

Also, I forgot how silly the names are, but the vibes are nostalgic!

Nearly a decade later, I am rereading this book as a buddy read with my friend Sammie, as we aim to try to finish the series and have a good time, even if its a bit cheesy.

John Green you brilliant human being

I would not expect a book about TB to be one of my most anticipated releases of 2025, but then again, there is a trend of John Green writing books about things that have traumatized me that I love, nevertheless. I will read any JG nonfiction he writes because he is such a good writer of nonfiction, and this book is the most John Green thing to ever John Green, so of course I am excited to read it!

I both called it and also **shocked pikachu face** these last 25 pages are about to go so hard.

THE AUDACITY OF THAT CHAPTER END!!!

“You don’t have to be afraid, I’m here.” BETWEEN THE CUTENESS AND THE GAYNESS I AM LIVING!!!

WHAT IF RUI IS THE.... 👀

This has gotten significantly more engaging in the second half!

The dedication of Sparky is so admirable...even a potentially fake marriage of convenience...interesting...

The guild is starting to feel like the US government, you can't trust them.

DO I SENSE SOME YEARNING?? ALSO, CAN WE STOP HAVING PEOPLE BE STABBED FOR FIVE MINUTES???
