Im calling Chris Hanson

Im glad weve moved passed the very weird teacher student almost romance between a 17 y/o and a man who was at least 17 when he met her at 10 years old. May we never return to that.

The people in this would are out here attempting to stone armless children to death for no reason?

I dont understand how if the empress is pure evil, like loves to torture and rape and murder people evil, and doesnt really offer anything to her followers, why any of them follow her at all instead of murdering her and taking her place.

I thought this was a trilogy, but im at 88% and it does not feel like its wrapping up even a little.

I wish I liked this more, im simply powering through.

The fbi head guy keeps going between knowing the kidnapper is the moonlight killer and not knowing this info and its a wild and weird continuity error

You mean to tell me this HISTORIAN went back to the /1500s/ and thought "yeah getting pregnant here would be great, women dont die ALL THE TIME during child birth during this time period" ?????????????????????? Hwhat?? Bsffr

At some point im gonna read this book and know what the fuck is happening.

The prose in this book is amazing.

" "But you're God" and God said "And I am not enough" "

Fucking metal af.
Baller line. I nearly chucked the book.

The only redemption for this book is the most toxic polycule you've ever seen.

I'm not holding my breath, but even so I cling to hope.

This book doesn't make any damn sense.

Update there are now horcruxes

Bro!

Do you think the main character decided to reveal their magic powers by walking through walls, melding with shadows, or turning invisible? No, they chose to reveal their powers by *checks notes* murdering a baby animal. Right, well cant see how that'll go wrong.

Solidifying my place as favorite book of all time "honor is dead... but ill see what I can do" "and for my boon" " do you even /listen/ to orders anymore" I'm literally yelling and kicking my feet like a kid

There are only bisexuals in this universe.

Hey Rebecca you better fix this right now.

I'm not sure my exact % point but I'm stopping in to say this book is very charming. I found the main character a bit off putting, but she's grown on me and I'm obsessed with bitch ass Brambley. Howl 2.0. Sign me up.

I've been listening to the audiobook and Seth Numrich is absolutely phenomenal. This is probably the best read/acted book ive ever listened to, and so far the story is pretty addictive even if it's only just getting to the fantasy aspect.

Jemisin has put crack cocaine in this book I stg.

The serial killer is made that his uber passengers would give more attention to a dog than to him, but let's be honest here it's always way more exciting to see a dog than a person.

So slow to start, im hoping she's using this to set up the series and won't go into such detail with every book.
I'm calling it now tho, everything we hear the fortune teller predict will be the plot of a future book in this series.

I definitely have not yet finished this book. You good goodreads?

I'm gonna try to be as vague as possible for spoilers but SJM literally wrote in a surprise tragic back story for a character so the reader can sympathize with them, and then had that character say basically " so glad you can sympathize with me now that you know my tragic back story" to another character and I don't think she did that as a meta jab.

Is this just the Warbreaker magic system?

Fitz may be the dumbest man alive. I can't imagine a stupider man at this moment.

Interesting how the Plinths announce the scholarship the day after sejanus's stint the arena. Almost as if the plinths have to pay off the capital.

It always drove me a bit insane when, in discussion of the movie, people said 'Lucy gray said it's too early for katniss, it foreshadowing" like that's not foreshadowing the prequel was written after. When sejanus in the arena says to snow about his father, "He'll buy you if you let him, or at least try to compensate you for trying to help me." /that's/ foreshadowing

I've always believed that the hunger games reaping was rigged. Sejanus's mom saying the family moved to the capitol to save him from the games, implies this again (not to mention lucy grays reaping). They're one of the richest families in panem, his number of slips in the pool would be minimal. But if his father knew it was rigged and was threatened, it makes sense for him to uproot his whole life to save him.
