oooh boy do I not like that he's (35M) lusting after these two girls (16F and 19F). he's their tutor too. low-key don't know if it's the author that's a pedophile or if she's intentionally setting up the character to be that way. . .

❝Sandy's habit of sitting down with her bullet journal became as effortless as brushing her teeth.❞

🤨 that's not exactly motivating for ME who constantly forgets to brush her teeth

Okay, starting over. I was about 80% through it before I put it down. I only vaguely remember what I read the first time around, so I'd rather start from the beginning and get all the context.

❝The moment you realise you want something that is not yours. The moment you let yourself have it.❞

OOF. in the passage, it's about a crow. for me, it is so much more personal. and wasn't that the intention the whole time?

❝names are the most commonplace ritual. ‘Little prayers,’ he says, that connect us to each other and to humanity.❞

❝He said, ‘You’ve experienced a significant loss.’ He said, ‘It isn’t just your arm.’ He said, ‘You’re grieving your life.’❞

How could you NOT?!

❝The end of the world looks exactly the way you remember. Don’t try to picture the apocalypse. Everything is the same.❞ OUCH

❝That I am depressed because I am indulging in a sense of loss instead of wonder.❞ Ouch, I don't even know how you wouldn't. How could you ever feel whole again?

OH WOA WOA WOA SHE DID W H a T ?

I feel like a changed woman. I find Thomas and Sanda's relationship so cute but I feel like five years ago, it would've been super annoying. Is this what personal growth feels like? Is this the wisdom that comes with growing older? Much to think about.

No. Fucking. WAY. Vladsten? I FUCKING CALLED IT

Jan 30th, 2025. I start the book from the beginning and pray I remember what happened in the previous two books.

ngl, idk how much longer I can put up with Sanda's attitude

❝“Yes, yes, and in some distant future a descendant of yours will receive confirmation we fulfilled our end of the contract and discovered her whereabouts, if that is indeed the case. It’s not like data won’t be able to get out of Icarion. It just… might take a while.”❞ NO WAY. so that's how these two timelines tie in together. I was wondering about that.

❝"You want the Nazca to find Sanda Maram Greeve, correct?"❞ NO. FUCKING. WAY.

❝Winsen climbed up a bookcase, as if it were something people did❞

. . . alright, Winsen, you can stay.

oh look, another chapter of boring Kip and The Mighty 🥱

❝The rudeness of murder had always bothered him. That was how he knew he wasn’t a monster, yet. It still bothered him.❞

❝“This was not the partnership I was looking for,” Karris said.

“That makes two of us. I would prefer you to be completely subservient,” Andross said.❞

I FUCKING LOVE ANDROSS SO FUCKING MUCH fave character by far 😂😁 he's my middle aged daddy problematic fave

❝“If we can dominate the seas, why don’t we go after the Color Prince directly?” Delara asked.

“Because he’s on land,” Andross said.❞

asdfgjkl this man is everything 😂😂 my problematic fave by far

Karris has turned into the most annoying jealous idiot. How is this the same woman I met at the start of the series? She's so fucking whiny now. And insecure. Shouldn't you be better than this by now?

❝The Lightbringer will protect us. He will slay gods and kings.”
I killed a king.
A chill washed down Kip’s back.❞

jfc this Kip kid is annoying as all hell. talk about your own sense of importance when you don't even know how to draft, fucking moron. if I had to read 800 pages of this guy, I wouldn't have made it ten pages

❝Sleep met him like a lover in an empty bed.❞

I wish they would do that for me

❝The priest had seen it too, but it was his job to see demons. Demons were good for his business.❞

asdfgjkl LOL

❝Once in bed, it was a long time before he slept.❞

reLATABLE

❝He did all the right things for all the wrong reasons.❞

there's a life lesson in there somewhere

❝Old Cob tucked away his bowl of stew with the predatory efficiency of a lifetime bachelor.❞

don't know whether to laugh or cringe. it also unfortunately reminds me of how my boyfriend holds his eating utensils 😔

❝and he moved with the subtle certainty that comes from knowing many things.❞

LMFAO this could not be more vague if it tried

❝don’t know about you, but I deeply hate doing dishes. It’s stupid, I
know. I’ve tried to make it a mindfulness practice, a way to
unplug, but no... My partner at the time wanted to learn how to cook. Developing
that skill forced me to spend my nights begrudgingly bulldozing the
ectoplasm off our kitchenware. And so it went. She would come
home, quickly undo my culinary exorcism from the previous
evening.❞ LOL

❝Konstantin forced his face to coldness. Her people offered him beeswax and honey, begged him for counsel and prayers...But that girl avoided his glance and his footstep, yet a horse...could charm that light from her. The light should have been for him—for God—for him as God’s messenger.❞

fIre, HELLfIiiiiIRe, she'll be miiiiine or sheeee, wiiiiiilll, buuuuuuuuuurn!!
