I was 13 when I last read this and MAN IT IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN I REMEMBER

devastated by the ending of The Mask Falling, so I'm reading this in the meantime.

insane that this is the most emotional depth we've seen from any character since Nightfall

actually so crazy that i started reading this series as a 13 year old and now I'm 21 😭 when will it ever end???

it doesn't get better than this

i think the first 200 pages of this was an easy five-star read, and then it slowed down considerably around page 300-550 and has only really picked up again now. similar to the first book. but im still really liking this book

i think it helps that i had no idea what this book series was about when starting the first book and that my expectations of this book series was in hell because i'm utterly blown away by how good this book is rn, and im not even 150 pages into it!

its so insane that this was written by sjm. i read both the tog and acotar series in 2016, and while they were enjoyable, the plot of both series were just alright. particularly with tog, you can tell sjm didn't plan out the series by the fact that the first and last book are so insanely different.
anyways, the plot of this rn is 10/10, characters are 10/10, romance is 10/10, the enjoyability is 10/10

i can already tell im really gonna like this book.

this book is so funny to me bc my best friend and twin sister read this when they were 13 and hated it. we're all 18 now and I'm reading this for the first time and loving it. i just don't think that they were old enough to appreciate it when they were younger.

scariest thing about being on goodreads since 2016 is getting notifications that someone liked my review of a book from a few years ago and knowing that its the most cringe, poorly written and humiliating shit

yeahhh idk abt this one 🤔

why is this book low-key so boring 😭😭 instead of being 600 pages, it could easily be just 400 if Schwab took out all the flashback scenes like idgaf about random ass things that happened to addie 200 years ago 😩

there is absolutely no reason why I should be 170 pages into this story and the plot is LITERALLY just starting!! 😩😐😐

real ones remember when this book was announced back in 2017 and ppl on gr lost their minds over it

how am I 70 pages into this book and the actual plot still hasn't started 🤔🥱🥱

not bad necessarily, i just dont think I'm the target audience anymore (which is funny cuz I'm the same age as the mc)

jealous of all the bitches who just joined GoodReads after being on booktok cuz they don't have god-awful, cringe book reviews up on the internet that they wrote when they were 12 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

love when authors make the mc a twin for absolute shits and giggles. gives us no indication that the mc and her twin actually cared for each other, just something to add in for no apparent reason

the odds are not in my favour of liking this book since I read stalking jack the ripper like 4 years ago and didn't like It and i haven't read a fantasy book (let alone YA fantasy) in like 2 years but ill give this one a go 🤷‍♀️

why is this lowkey boring 😭😭 i don't wanna dnf tho cuz I'm halfway thru

although there's no new book in this series coming out this year, I still had to get my annual dose of keeper content

also keep forgetting how much of a father figure alden is to sophie at the start of the series. why'd shannon have to ruin his character😒 he's literally so slimy and gross in legacy

in my rereadings of this book i always forget how little the cast of characters know about the black swan and the neverseen; I'm pretty sure they don't even know the name of the neverseen until book 3🤔 and rn no one knows that sophie is a telepath. also forget how sad this book is.

the way im extremely surprised to see dex in almost every scene because he is basically non-exist in the latest three books😤

told my twin that if even one more minor inconvenience occurs I'm gonna read this series for the third time idc. this week has been hell, exams and assignments galore but at least year 12 is almost over!🥳
