Kinda bored reading at this point…

Yo that ending sucked

That final boss battle was so rushed and anticlimactic af

Bro, not them fucking in a dirty-ass, stinky-ass, rat-infested cell. No fucking way lmao. YALL NASTY! And right next to two dead bodies too!

It’s kinda funny when they banter but they literally don’t do it enough cuz the author barely has them in the same room for more than 2 seconds 💀💀💀 How the hell could this be love at this point in time

VALEK 💕🙉

Okay I love how this book handles the romance though. It makes me kilig in a way that I haven’t felt since I first started reading YA fantasy 🤭

Okay I actually don’t mind this book when it actually gets going. It’s definitely just okay tho.

I want to like Valek but every time he acts violent around Yelena it just makes me wary of him. It seems like he’s gonna be her love interest, but I just think he has a huge red flag of taking his anger out in a physical way that I want to say is abusive, but we’ll see…

This book has so much potential but it really feels like we spend half of it being told what happens and skipping to the next scenes instead of living in the moment

This chick wanna be bait so bad

Sometimes I hate the way this book was written “I throw my self-defense kitchen sink at them” what does that even mean??? idk if I’m slow or if that makes no sense at all. Are we just being quirky right now? In the middle of a tense scene? I just don’t think this is the time for that…

The book is aight so far but why does everyone have the same kind of humor 💀

Damn, why do authors always ruin their stories by adding conflict between the fmc and the love interest’s ex-girlfriend who’s also a mean blonde. Way to be so freaking cliché and misogynistic…

Omfg if Hauth is described as a brute who brutalizes people one more freakin time, I swear I’m gonna kms

Girl stop asking for help! Tf

I’m very intrigued so far but the writing tends to be wordy and beats around the bush. Gets tiring after a while.

Nah I cant do this

Honestly the writing in this book is so bad but I’m just gonna read it anyway to break my book slump. What the hell, right

If I ever was asked to criticize SJM’s work, it would be that things are a little *too* convenient. It gets corny and unrealistic.

Hypaxia entrusted the antidotes to the two biggest idiots of the series SMH

I will say it again: this whole subplot with Lidia having sons is so annoying. It completely ruined the hype of her character and everything that was built in HOSAB. I really don’t see the point of it other than to create more unnecessary drama and plot filler. I honestly think SJM just loves to write about being a mother and having kids bc she is a mother with kids. But as someone who doesn’t have any, idgaf!

What the actual fuck, Tharion. You had ONE JOB. One fucking job. What a damn waste of antidotes. How the hell is this dude even a character we’re supposed to root for 😑

If we really think about it, it makes a lotta sense that Theia’s mate is a demon prince of Hel lol. But Aidas seems like more of a good person than she was.

SIGH. *mutters* tired of SJM tricking us *grumbles* raising my cortisol levels for no reason


JK I LOVE IT
