now THIS is GOOD.

I don't think I am enjoying the writing so far. Reeeeally pretentious. Trying to sound like Percy Jackson but failing because there are too many big vocab words running rampant in the objectively uncomplicated sentence structure. Etc.

and so it begins.

absolutely slogging through this last chunk. so close to the end

I'm not even mad, this is entertaining if not also a bit gauche and also the worldbuilding is weak at best BUT ALSO I am here for the fun little romp!! Brainless fantasy serves to cleanse my palate before I move on to the gross (complimentary) horror fantasy I've been consuming lately

first person narrative from miss starling is throwing me off but I am really brave.

my bitch jane is practicing MAGIC now. I admire her tenacity. I can't believe she is doing all of this for a man though....girl has the tempered soul and mind of a passionate lesbian. nobody gets this inspired over heterosexuality. that's all

there really is just something about caitlin starling's writing that I am drawn to.

superb!!! loving this!!!! absolutely!!!! treila I love you!!!!

cannibalism has BEGUN fellas!!!!

INSANE plot twist. I thought I knew it all. I have so many questions

best fantasy of 2025 right here I promise!!!!!!! and that is coming from someone who hasn't even read Katabasis yet!!!!!!

Compelling!! I love the narrator!!

this is EXCELLENT

there's about one interesting thing that happens for every 20 pages I read and I don't think that's enough for me to keep reading. but so many people enjoy this book...........so I will muscle my way through the next 70 pages and see how I feel.

I would like to see this as a tv show animated/designed by the arcane creators please !!

Only a GREAT ASTOUNDING INSANELY TALENTED author could pull off the twist that I knew was coming in a way that made it feel deserved. This was a reward for all of the tension and stress and heart-beating-out-of-my-chest. I knew it was coming and I LOVED IT.

stiefvater does tension SO WELL I am so nervous

maggie stiefvater's writing is so delicious. I am world's #1 soup fan and reading this is like being served the finest soup. absolutely unmatched. nobody does it like stiefvater

I LOVE JUNE HUDSON!!!!!!!!

I LOVE hoss......

Few authors could get me to read speculative historical litfic, but I will read anything Maggie Stiefvater writes. Thank god for that because this is already phenomenal!

things have finally Begun Occurring. I love Beetee and Wiress. ugh

hmmm
