this chariot race is boring, I’m sorryyyyyy

The constant back and forth between parallel universes makes it hard for me to grow to care about either storyline. 🫠

MY GIRL AEQUA!!! let’s gooo

These side characters are hard to keep track of, especially since we have like 3 parallel timelines. I keep forgetting who’s who.

150 pages and this book has yet to grab my attention 🫠

I don’t know how I feel about these multiple universe timelines. I’m not loving them, so far. We’ll see.

« I laugh softly. Shake my head. “I don’t deserve a friend like you.”
“Truth.” Eidhin’s chair creaks as he leans back. »

Eidhin is so much more interesting than Emissaaaaaa. If the author wasn’t a coward, he’d make them gay 😤

“I liked Emissa. Maybe even loved her.”

this boring ass romance…. yawnnnnn

Unfortunately, Emissa had a valid reason to stab Vis in book 1… 🥱 Ughh… I wanted her to be evil. It’d be more interesting. But alrighttt

« “I wasn’t remembering it. It was… just something I had to say. That I had to say to you.” She pauses. “Before I killed you.”
“Oh.” I don’t know how to respond to that. »

Vis gives so little fucks 🥴💀

I’m bored, ngl

“I knew one word from her would set me right in every way, as would the extra funds—but I was stubborn, determined to make it on my own, no royal association necessary.”

ahhhh she’s just being stupidly stubborn, got it

the fact that the royals aren’t even providing this seamstress with the fabric she needs to make the clothes for the royal wedding is just - - - 😭

The fact that she’s working for the crown prince and princess and somehow is still poor as hell is concerning 😵‍💫. Like, somebody give her a better workshop, PLEASE!

« “You sent me to die.”
“I sent you to find out—”
“YOU SENT ME TO DIE!” I roar the words. Abrupt and violent. Stand and swipe my near-full cup from the table next to me, sending it shattering across the floor. “You valued your dead brother’s reputation over my life!” A step forward. “Because of you, I lost a gods-damned arm!” »

period!!!!!!!

okay so what the hell are we doing?

“Who is free, who loves another?”

this quote has been repeated a bunch of times, and yet it makes me feel nothing 😵‍💫

was there really not a better way to learn Vivian’s tragic backstory? having her monologue for 10 pages is just not - - - ……. 🫥

“It was past supper, which meant my father was drifting between verb tenses, transitioning gently from drinking to drunk.”

lol

it’s so weird that she keeps calling Owen “boy” lol

“I could deny my destiny, and even my queen. I could never deny you.”

why not, girl???? I don’t get ittttttt

I wish I had gotten to see the romance develop, instead of being dropped in the story when they already have the hots for each other.

“[I] let one hand slip between my legs, thinking of your collarbones and your long limbs and your quick, helpless gasp. I hardly lasted a minute; it was not easy, riding day after day with you in my lap.”

why are they so horny for each other?

why does she want to kiss him??

ohhhh it’s Una’s pov now!

Una is aware she’s gonna come back to life??

I don’t feel Una’s love for the Queen

STOP 👏🏻 BEING 👏🏻 HORNYYYY

“I would reach up and bury my fingers in your hair, pull you down to me. You would let me. Then you would let me go to my knees and give you what you wanted, for as long as you wanted it, until your thighs were slick ”

Horny jail! And why do you even like her like that??? I don’t feel it…….

« “Turn around and see.” I did not; this, I thought, was the sort of behavior that ought to earn a man a medal. »

yuck ???
