In this world there are traps set up to ensnare strangers, like somehow tripping and falling into a hole. Looking up at the world from 10 m below everyone else. They all look down on me, trapped in a sinkhole. They don't even have a reason to make the time to look down on me. They've got everything, the wild plains, rivers, oceans, and skies, and cities constructed to match the way their bodies are built.”
💔

“But if I were to try and make friends, is there any other way than to split myself in two? But the other half of me is still me, so what's the use in that?”

For such a short book I’m struggling to get through it because if every sentence cuts me to my core with relatability. WHEW

“By eliminating the wretched screams from death, the line between human and object blurs. As long as I am certain that they can't feel their deaths bodily, I can pop as many as 1 like into my belly and digest them. My burden decreases when I highlight the differences between me and them.”

Whew the layers in this one keep going and going. Like hello it’s all sorts of -isms explained in a handful of sentences.

“I understand their hearts, a hundred, a thousand times over. For them, life is so boring that if someone doesn't walk with ease, taking steady steps on two healthy legs of the same length, they violently overreact as if they were waiting for it. I think their bar for reactions is pretty low. They can't wait to ogle a monster. Without monsters, how would they withstand the unrelenting futility of their days?”

“Only beings like my self mustprovide explanation. The demanding you; the demanded of me. You are the de fault life - form. You are the c e n ter of the universe. It must be s o 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 00 0 nice.”

I live this homocidal horny little alien. 🤭

“It's thanks to my sensitivity that my body has managed to survive until now. Without it I would have been knocked flat out hundreds of times.”

WHEW again.

“My body is a filthy jerk that is constantly keeping its eyes peeled for any chance to betray me. I am certain of it. And I won't be fooled twice. Normally, it puts on a show of doing its all for me, of serving only me, but if given an inch, it'll give its owner a good bash to the head. There are a lot of times when this flesh suit is nothing more than cumbersome baggage that causes me pain.”

RELATEABLE

“ he had let her play this game; he had all but begged for it, giving himself away Inc by Inc, unheeding of the risk. But he had y known what it would be to find a woman who did not fear him. He could have laughed And wrote to see himself eviscerated so utterly by a violet-eyed maid.”

“[…]and when he laughed with her…just once, laughed with an open delight in the moment—she felt as if some long-lost part of herself had been completed.”

“She has not intended it, to ply her fingers she bats where he was already hurt. But he said her name again, a low voice if hunger. And she felt a hunger in herself: she wanted the way he looked when she did it, the way it broke his inflexible control.”

Teheheh

“If she were a wanton creature, an unfettered, unchristian harlot with too much learning to be modest; if she could never have the man she loved—wella, then she would take a beautiful murderous bandit instead, and read his books and learn his wiles and live with him in wickedness.”

I mean.:.what more could you want? 🤭

The fake out was 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

“I should hate to, and i don’t. It’s intolerable!”

Hehehehe

Heheheheheheh

*swoon* bring back the editors pls! This is the good shit!

Wooooooooof “mistakes” undid me. So deeply relatable. So painful. I’ve made so much peace with where i am and also i miss my old life.

“I meant it when i said you were divine. I…I want to feast on the bitter marrow of your bones and lick grey matter from the inside of your skull. I want to eat you alive.”

This was a delight. Even knowing it was kink, the truly eery vibes had me worried. 😅 Balanced with moments of lighthearted humor and emotional depth, this was a perfect first story to read.

“He was not the sort of man to tease or torment his lover. Everything Stephen had was hers for the taking, and for once he did not ask himself if it was enough.”

AYYYYYYYYY

“She could hear his bound through her bones as much as her ears “

😭😭😭

Marguerite girl?!!!!!!!!

“And now Stephen, in one blighted moment, had destroyed that tiny grace, that the world did not quite know what shadow the broken paladins lived under.”

😭😭😭

OH NO THRY DIDNT?!!!!!!!!!!

“And acting that keeps our paladins happy, instead is mopping and clanking and suffering nobly around the temple, is worth fighting for.”

“It is not fair to ask a woman to fill the hole left by a god.“

WHEW

I cannot wait for istvhan’s book bc hello?!

“A woman in her forties with a lot of aggressions to work out is a terrifying glory."

“Pride had been her only trustworthy companion for so long that she wasn't going to let it go.”

Love me a good foreword!!!!

"it was too much. His god had been of steel but he was only flesh and bone. 'we did,' he said, and lowered his mouth to hers"

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

“Grace smiled at him. Friend. And he still smelled like gingerbread.”

“There was something about poverty that was a little like war. Either you had been there or you hadn’t, and it wasn’t really possible to explain it to someone who have.”
