I’m confused

I’m sure this is all supposed to be very romantic and I should be swooning or whatever but they’ve been dating for 2 days and he’s proposing after lying to her for months, sorry if I’m not into it

Why is Roman such a sleazebag? And why is it not adressed at all, and instead romanticized?

« Iris, like an eyeball » bc I guess flower is too pretty and we don’t do pretty metaphors here (the moon hung like a fingernail, remember?)

I’m sorry I must have misheard, the moon hung like a… fingernail??

The way this is set up I don’t see how Roman could ever redeem himself and become a serious love interest. I know if I were in Iris’ position and learned his identity, I could never consider him as a romantic partner after such betrayal

Tombs and dead and mourning and woe everywhere

Vraiment c’est trop bien je comprends pas toutes les mauvaises review je pense que ça se traduit juste mal en anglais à cause du style d’écriture

Moi aussi je veux une écharpe de compagnie

It’s so good I woke up at 4am, read 50 pages, went back to sleep.

I’ve spent a few audible credits on mediocre reads this year so fingers crossed this one will be better

“I believe the world doesn’t need humanity, they are only destroying the planet and causing each other to suffer through war,[…] I wish to use my powers to accelerate the extinction of humanity.” Lmao why am I lowkey on the villain’s side tho

Waittttt is this going where I think it’s going? 👀👀

“The vanished day? It leaves a sense
Of labour hardly done;
Of little, gained with vast expense, —
A sense of grief alone!”

Feeling called out by Emily Bronte, reading this at the end of a very unproductive day lmao

What in the angsty teen (I’m judging but also I would have devoured this book at age 13)

This is what I wrote as an angsty 14 y.o

Nicholas que nous caches-tu 👀

Absolutely flying through this

It really is “to the lighthouse” and not “at the lighthouse” because there’s less than 10 pages left and they’re still on their way to the lighthouse, I’m wondering if we will actually see them arrive before the book ends lmao
