I'm dying. The fairies of a fantasy land are having watermelon gazpacho 🤣 Couldn't you call it cold watermelon soup, at least?
It's my own fault for picking this up, but in my defence, I thought it was YA (it's listed as such), not a children's book. Stubbornly refusing to DNF.

So Artemis never sleeps? She's always on duty, day and night?

"She hadn’t seen all her subjects in one place since the day she arrived."
What? So they all fit in the throne room? What exactly is the population of the realm???

I don't know if it's just that I haven't read YA in ages, or that this genuinely reads far too young for YA!

I have had enough of nahute! I can't believe in all those years they didn't develop any technology to disable them!

"No one has given more to this fight than me."
Sure, Hadrian. Liking him less and less in this book.

Surely, this isn't the time for this conversation!

"This beautiful man with his beautiful heart."
I'm sorry, I can't think of a single thing he did all book that would lead me to think he has a beautiful heart.

"Hard Rock Stadium. Hard. Rock. Rock. Hard."
For heaven's sake, is this man 15, just discovering sexual attraction, or is he a 28 yo professional tennis player?!?!?
I would DNF if this wouldn't be a relatively short book...

I think I would love this if 29 year-old Leo would stop reacting and thinking like a teenager (at least imo).

I'm so nervous 🫣

This version of Hadrian is such a jerk! I am not liking him so far! He was always flawed, but seems a bit mean now, too high and mighty.

I know some readers don't like how Hadrian spoils events from the future, but I find it so intriguing! I'm always like "He's going to do what?! How do we get to that situation???"
Hadrian the storyteller is a tease 😆

I thought the time jump from book 1 to book 2 was large, but wow!

Ugh, Basil and Foxa are so obnoxious with their quotes! Someone died, but they are just having fun.

"[...] the sort of solidarity where nothing is asked but everything is given." 🥺

"What do you need from your friends? To wait, to go, or to come?" 🥹

“I wait on the shore of the mystery to see what the tide will bring.”

"Forgive yourself for having let yourself down, even while you were holding others up."
Goosebumps! Emma is so perceptive!

Last one, and then the wait begins 😭
Also, my ship isn't sailing 😢

He remembered it's the 23rd 🥹 I love this man so much!

"He has a dimple I've never noticed before."
I just don't understand how it wouldn't be him!

"C'est les carottes d'hiver" 🤣🤣🤣

"I felt sorry he'd encountered me at all." 😆

"A golden age." 🥰

Kicking my feet! 🥹

"Cousin Archibald has got hold of a tambourine. " 🤣

That dream made me so emotional! 🥺

"And it feels like a miracle, finding such a dear part of oneself walking around in someone else's body." 🥹

Alright, I have a clear favourite now (I think?).

"One aunt deserves another." 😆
