I really like the voice and pacing of this book. It’s giving The Bell Jar but in Germany.

This I literally so dumb and if I didn’t need another book for my goal sheet I would dnf it.

It’s like a hallmark movie

The pacing of this book sucks

How long is it appropriate for me to wait to reread TOG? Because when I say I think about it everyday, that’s an understatement.
Past me said life’s too short to reread books. I was wrong and would like to publicly redact that statement.

Dnf

Saris and Fish are that insufferable high school couple infatuated with each other after passing each other in the hall once.

I’m so confused and debating dnf-ing

Thank you mars and cass for the bday gift

“The immature part of me”
As if it’s not her whole personality 🙄

If I hadn’t bought this book I would have dnfd it already

I’m actually dying of second hand embarrassment and I genuinely don’t know if I can make it through

I was a Sarah Adams stan…but this book is making it realllllly difficult

I’m so confused is Omnamshacry and Old L’Shacry the same dragon or are there two??

“Oh, okay. Perfect. When the historians revisit Ajun in a couple of centuries, I’ll make sure they chisel that into your headstone, then. He tried.”

Can someone please genuinely tell me what is going on in this book

I feel like Hart is just getting lazy, you’re telling me in one paragraph they left and found a powerful and cooperative witch? 🧐😒

GAHAHA this interaction between carrion, fish, and saer is comical

What kind of name is Kingfisher and why can’t Carrion be the mmc I was so here for it

“If I knew I could buy your time, I would be bankrupt...”

Gaha the audacity

“Because I am a lot of things but I never want to be the kind of person who can’t apologize when I’m in the wrong.”

I love you Sarah Adam’s for writing a book that, once again, depicts mature and emotionally responsible characters.

A chapter should not be 42 pages long

I almost wish they got trapped

Who wants to bet they’re going to get stuck in the archives 🙄 there’s a difference between foreshadowing and straight up telling Yarros.

Great so because violet ‘can’t stand lying to her friends’ and because Rhi saves her and essentially all marked ones, violet decides to doom them all by telling not her but THREE people everything of whom cannot protect themselves against Dain…so basically she is telling the whole world. (Aelin would never.)

I can’t help but compare this to TOG because I literally just read it. This book is like eating stale oatmeal from an expired Quaker Oats package with cold high calcium-ified water. Whereas TOG was like enjoying a five course meal with incredible company whilst listening to live music orchestrated by Hans Zimmer. Is the oatmeal that bad or only because of having experienced luxury? Answer? It’s that bad.

I HATE the miscommunication trope (I know ironic because I’m so bad at it), but literally it makes no sense. Violet literally KNOWS she’s going to get tortured for her training and yet she begs to know everything from Xaden; for someone who says she wants to protect her friends I have a hard time believing it. I guess she draws the line when the protection comes at the cost of her knowing everything. 🙄

This book actually sucks and I debate DNFing.
If anyone needs the detention of rushed writing and terrible plot rhythm with awkward and cringy dialogue just show them this book. If you are in need of evidence literally open any page and find any paragraph.

Maybe it’s coming down from the high that was TOG but this writing narrative and storyline is actually… rubbish. Sorry.

Cry counter: 10
This book utterly broke me. Yes there while series did, but really this whole book was the straw on the camels back. Only it’s not a camel, it’s me. And it’s not my back, it’s my sanity.
