Is2g if something happens to Serena

Wth just happened

Okay, that kinda ate

How does he do it?

I mean, it is just uncanny. (I’m not tearing up at all.)

Books seem to find me at the most opportune of moments that I’m almost certain someone out there is controlling these instances…

Are they actually dead?

I don’t think it’s that at all

Uh hmmmmm *side eye*

You know what would be fun? If Alice is actually dead all this time/stuck in the between or whatever they have here, and Peter coming with her is kind of like an Orpheus moment

…there better not be a surprise reveal of either a short lifespan regardless of the price they need to pay, or grand sacrifice of one’s lifespan in the future of this book because so far I’m actually still finding this funny

Would go to Hell for my degree iykyk

I am officially calling for a sleep break.

But also - where are we going with this?

I mean, honestly? Fair enough.

HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY!

How does one write a character so strongly and setting so vividly?

It is always a good day when a woman realises her worth.

Avallon. Richard. West Virginia.

The first day, he’d stood in the Smith Library and given her the clean, cool facts of the upcoming detention, somehow correctly guessing she was someone who didn’t need life sugarcoated, even if she was always shaking sugar out for everyone else.

Describing the people of Constancy like sweetwater

June, I find interesting.
Gilfoyle, annoying.
Tucker, curious.

Hm

When I first felt her stirring inside of me, I was consumed with a terror that felt as old as life itself. Only the joy of holding her in my arms could tame it. Carrying him was a little easier, but not much.

“That was the one thing I had going for me. Taking care of your family,” he says.


Whatever delusion Gale fans (do you even exist) have should dissolve with this one sentence.

Suddenly, I’m thinking of Prim, who was not yet fourteen, not yet old enough to be granted the title of soldier, but somehow working on the front lines. How did such a thing happen? That my sister would have wanted to be there, I have no doubt. That she would be more capable than many older than she is a given. But for all that, someone very high up would have had to approve putting a thirteen-year-old in combat.

“After all, it was Thirteen that started the rebellion that led to the Dark Days, and then abandoned the rest of the districts when the tide turned against it.”


I think it would make sense for the next book to be about this - to parallel the war in Mockingjay.

Wait. Did Coin plan for Prim to die all along? Saw the talent in her healing, the kindness in it, allowed the medics to train her to be one of them. To be one of the ones who die?

So sick to my stomach

Everyone inside the barricade is a child. Toddlers to teenagers. Scared and frostbitten.
