some day the gots to see it through mentality will be my downfall. the only reason i’m this far through it is because i just want it to be over. it’s not bad per se but it’s just boring and no one has any chemistry whatsoever

TEA.

tea.

okay genuinely what the fuck is a heartwielder and why is everyone so quick to suggest it? it sounds like they just make you stop feeling traumatized? how does that work. do they make you forget the feeling? make you forget the experience? do you just become numb? feel nothing? oh your mom died do you need a heartwielder? do they erase your mother from your life? make you feel the grief less? hello????

“i will take his cruelty, his disdain. i’ll bathe in his contempt until im covered in every drop of his wrath. i’ll embrace his rage, wrap it around myself like a cloak, until its the only thing that warms me. i’ll swallow his resentment, bite after seething bite, until its the only thing that fuels me. i’ll take anything he gives me, as long as i can be his again.”
WHAT. THE FUCK. HOLY ABUSE APOLOGIST

girl stand UP. he killed your people (kinda zero sum there because your people killed his people), you thought he killed your best friends, he ACTUALLY killed your friend right in front of you (imo it doesn’t matter that you weren’t in love with the friend he was still your friend), he left you alone to almost get raped, punched the wall next to your head and you’re still in love with him

this book cannot hurt you it isn’t real.

wojack pointing at brindle and zale

so thoroughly enjoyable so far. genuinely so fun and lovable

EVERYONE STOP EVERYTHING. DAGGERBOUND RELEASE DAY. ALL OTHER BOOKS ON HOLD

oh the guy who personally vouched for the other tenuously placed guy is evil. wow i wonder what that means for the tenuously placed guy

okay the dialogue on this date is funny as hell

reid getting towed around in horns and fairy wings. this guy really is her pet loser. and he calls her boyfriend the pet??

i just realize this group is LITERALLY fred (elliot) daphne (sophia) velma (kitty) and shaggy (peter) which makes big scooby and i think that’s so fucking funny

SOPH GENERATIONAL CHARACTER. you can tell kate golden is a socal girlie because she writes sophia as a quintessential california girl. yes we are the perfect in every way

need to be in this friend group SO BAD. sophia you are my IDOL

okay she’s kinda real as hell like flop daughter let’s gooooo

putting this down for now because i genuinely don’t want to deal

cisure is actually agonizingly awful and i understand why she’s the way she is from a narrative/thematic standpoint but holy shit she’s so annoying

god willing i will finish this book. i don’t want to but i will

genuinely i don’t remember elyria being this hard to like in the first book. and if it was related to trauma id get it but i feel like it isn’t connected as much? literally the constant fighting over nothing with cedric is getting old

i don’t remember elyria being this annoying in the first book. cedric could literally say the sky is blue and she would blow up and disagree with him over nothing. it just feels like manufactured drama to keep them from talking about things

i forgot how much i hate cedric’s audiobook narrator

the author has GOT to stop over explaining metaphors. it’s actually getting painful. just say the metaphor. you don’t need to explain it every time. “if there’s one thing a serf knows it’s how to reap. only instead of wheat, i reap death” GIRL WE KNOW. JUST LEAVE IT

these chapters are so unbelievably short it’s crazy. also i had high hopes but the MC is kinda stupid so it’s sinking a little. excited for the winged horses though

sixth summer reading challenge book! so far i like this but you have hot guys with swords and flying horses so this might be the most maya romantasy of all time. life is beautiful

imagining carl as nicholas galitzine makes these books so much more palatable

didn’t really expect an appearance from the transphobic crossbow in this one

i’m sorry for my harsh words previously. it’s getting better. however why do i keep seeing comparisons to the lord of the rings. that’s literally coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb like i don’t see any similarities other than it’s in a fantasy setting

lowkey… this is not good. cedric is so annoying and immature i dont really know how he can be redeemed
