WTF 😫😫😫

This is chilling so far. The amount of abuse rampant not just in her life, but through her community is horrifying.

Starting a tandem read of this and Empire of Storms. Gimme more Rowan!

I’ll survive this. I’ll live. But there’s a hole in me, never to be filled. Maybe that’s why people die of old age. Maybe we could live forever if we didn’t love so completely. But we do. And by the time old age comes, we’re filled with holes, so many that it’s too hard to breathe. So many that our insides aren’t even ours anymore. We’re just one big empty space, waiting to be filled by the darkness

“I find it boring,” Warner says. “Besides, if I paid attention to every single person who finds me attractive I’d never have time for anything else.”
I nearly drop the potatoes.
I wait for him to crack a smile, to tell me he’s joking, and when he doesn’t, I shake my head, stunned.
“Wow,” I say. Your humility is fucking inspiring.”

I’m dying inside :( :( :( :(

I’M SO EXCITED. Warner, I’m ready for you baby.

“The world feels high lonesome and heartbroken to me right now. We’ve sorted ourselves into factions based on our politics and ideology. We’ve turned away from one another and toward blame and rage. We’re lonely and untethered. And scared. So damn scared.”

Ok now I'm into it a bit more..

This might be the weirdest book I've ever read. I feel sad cause I love Mindy's writing so much. =\

With my love of all things dystopian, I'm not sure I understand how I haven't started this until now.

Just waiting for the other shoe to drop *bites nails nervously*

Let's see if I can get into another book after finishing ACOWAR (good luck to me...)

This is overwhelmingly the best book I've read in probably about 6-7 years. I've not felt like this about any other book in at least that amount of time.

"We are all more than the worst thing we have ever done... we are all implicated when we allow people to be mistreated. An absence of compassion can corrupt the decency of a community, a state, a nation. Fear and anger can make us vindictive and abusive, unjust, and unfair, until we all suffer the absence of mercy and we condemn ourselves as much as we victimize others."

Dystopian novels - always keeping it real and eerie. "A discontented population will erode even the most secure state. But even if safety were somehow achievable by force, ask yourself this: how important is safety? Is it worth steadily undermining every principle on which a free nation was founded? What sort of nation will you have then?”

Man, she is badass!

Loving this!

So good so far! Thank you audible for finally allowing me to get some reading in, even if I'm just listening!

Feeling confused...

"Feelings are like 3-year-olds. They aren't rational. They're just there." Truer words have never been spoken.

Oh snap. Shit just got real.

What in the actual f*ck?!

"Sonja said women have many emotions, but only one physical response. When we're angry we cry. When we're happy we cry. When we're sad we cry. When we're scared, you guessed it, we cry." SHE GETS ME.

THATS IT??
