Reading this only because I want to read one golden summer and also because there’s apparently a show coming out? But I heard the plot twist is really dumb/ borderline offensive and that it’s essentially a carbon copy of love and other words but we shall see!

Not to jinx it but this is 5 star potential

The writing is SO good I’m absolutely loving this!!! I love the dialogue it feels so natural

It got good at like 60% and now I’m having fun!!!!

This is not doing it for me 😔

I’d love to DNF this but unfortunately I’ve DNFed the last two books I’ve read so I feel like I just have to keep trekking

Why do women in fantasy always piss their pants when they’re scared?

Can he stop being named Huxley. Let’s be serious

This story went 0-100 so fast. I’m slightly overwhelmed by how big and tragic the storyline is now

“She gave the words back to him, murmuring, and kept them, too. You could do that: Give them back and keep them. “I love you” is generous that way.” ☹️☹️☹️ So sweet

I love reading YA fantasy that was written before every book was the same formulaic tropified slop!! This is genuinely incredible. Soooo dreamy and magical

One thing about Lynn painter is that she will RIP me from my book slump and suddenly have me finishing a book in one sitting

Ok disregard that last update. Darrow I’ll never underestimate you again I swear

They are so horrendously cooked it’s not even funny. I’m actually pissed rn because why did they just do that and risk EVERYTHING

I haven’t been able to read in SO long bc I have so much work and school all the time. Anyway I forgot how easily this book makes me cry. Everything is so cinematic and angsty and poetic and dramatic I truly just couldn’t love a series any more

“You’ve made a family of your friends. You always have.”
I am crying at every single chapter I’m not kidding

WHY IS IT NEVER THE RIGHT TIME FOR THEM 💔💔

Darrow is so nice to Victra omg my heart 🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️

What an opening to this story. I feel like I’ve lived a thousand lives in this series so far. I’m also deeply trauma bonded to Darrow now and if he endures one more second of pain I will have go to mars and kill The Jackal myself 🤗

I don’t know whether my coffee is just hitting or if it’s this damn book that’s making my heart race and palms sweat. I cannot take this shit right now I have to do homework and I haven’t done a damn thing the past few days bc I cant stop READING. I’m so terrified of what’s gonna happen in these last few pages it’s making me sick with worry!!! Mind you this is a fictional story!! Words on paper! 😩

I stg I just experienced the full range of human emotions in those last 3 pages

“We’ll make amends later.” NOPE DO IT NOW IM SCARED. If this mf dies I will actually rip this book in two with my bare hands

I need him to tell her so bad 😩😩😖

I’m not gonna lie I’m a little lost with wth is going on but I’m just rollin with it

The drama of this is actually insane and it keeps getting better

YOOOO WTF!!! WTF WTF WTF!!!!

Ok we’ve definitely exited my comfort zone because we are full on doing space wars now and I liked when we were on the ground playing survivor. But everyone on tik tok says red rising is the weakest of the series??? How tf is that possible. Also WDYM ITS BEEN 2 YEARS!!!

Yup yup yup here we go. I’m so fired up for this

“I am the spark that will set the worlds afire. I am the hammer that cracks the chain.” DAMN

What a classic plot twist. Truly gets me every time… like I guessed it a little bit but it’s just too good🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼 The tension!! Sorry but I will be making this my entire personality
