if mazin was in love with dania then they would she pretend to be her opposite while trying to seduce him again

did noor even have a plan for revenge like she literally only does what dania says to further dania’s revenge plot. this read like two dumb bitches telling each other exactlyyyyyyyyy

the one thing that’s been bugging me is why dania is the leader of this revenge plot. noor has been in prison for longer and lost her place in life, her family, her father, and her kingdom technically but dania’s revenge is the one we’re focusing on?

so far really compelling but the dialogue is a bit cringey

reading for the 2026 summer reading challenge as an alternate title for road of bones!

legit forgot i was reading this it’s sooooooo slow

knigh’s POV is so boring it’s literally just “wahhh waaaaahhh waaaahhhh i’m so terrible i betrayed vee. i’m so stupid and awful for falling for her and then betraying her” and then everyone around him is like yeah you’re evil and terrible. again. FAIR. and it just goes on and on

lowk i have no motivation to read the second book even though i really enjoyed the first. i think because i found out just how slow this burn is going to be and idk if it’ll pay off…

over 50% into the book and these two still have zero chemistry

having the girl who can’t read look at books for their salvation is frying me so bad like why is she even doing this. it makes the plot kinda inconsistent like why is she able to figure out this thing that no one else has when she can’t even read? why is she even unable to read in the first place?

“it all comes crashing in on me again, the ugly truth we call reality, like a wave crashing into cliffsides.” this book needs an editor. there’s so many of these repetitive sentences

sometimes i fear that some people have never experienced the ocean before because why is she drowning and sinking so fast? what happened to her being a strong swimmer?

intermaria has been lowercase this whole time and now it’s a proper noun….

there’s a lot of anachronistic language in the book and it makes it read very juvenile. “my heart almost fell out of my ass” “i crashed out on the bed”

is anyone going to explain this memory thing or did i miss something like ???????

eryse is already irritating like girl you stowed away on a pirate ship and now you’re upset they aren’t treating you well?? hello??? for someone who apparently had to live by her wits her whole life, she doesn’t have many of them

literally got up to go do dishes while reading this book.

missing the paladins of the white rat right about now

i thought she could hear him but not understand him. what happened to that whole “omg i can hear you that’s amazing” thing from the beginning

daios and anya together are sooo cutie but daios with literally anyone else is so fucking annoying like i’m really getting sick of the daios arges fighting like it was sorta explained why daios was so shitty in the first book but now it’s like yeah i’m fully on arges and mira’s side when it comes to this guy

so her solution is to just blow them up??????

i was going to take a break because i’m pretty sure all of these books are going to be the same but then i saw this get described as undine bucky barnes and i was immediately pressing download

me yesterday: oh you know i’m kinda want to sink my teeth into something a little deeper. might check out some of my more hard sf/f tbr stuff. might try and finish iron gold to see if it’s worth it

me today: SHES GONNA FUCK THAT MERMANNNNNN

manifesting a good romance fantasy/fantasy romance

it’s my goal to not DNF any books this year but this is so hard like why does she now know how to fight? why are they even having this big battle?

“the dark watch parted like an even darker sea” is such a terrible sentence girl im bored let’s open a thesaurus

17% to go. could not feel longer

took a break because this shit got way too boring and why are we almost 70% through the book and they’re JUST starting the main plot quest

i just know this one is going to make my tummy hurt

“he hurt you!” throwing up crying
