“Her hair floated around her like a midnight halo and her face looked like a star in the sky.” GOSH every aspect of this book is so p r e t t y.

y’know im only through the introduction and I’m already blown away.

oh wow this is the perfect time for my hold on a fantasy book about a vaguely sexist mixed race British cop written by a white dude to become available

so far this reads like it’d look great on screen. if it makes an interesting /book/ remains to be seen.

oh look, the point where my eternal devotion to kirishima started. why are there so many pure, soft bois in this manga (PUN INTENDED).

I forgot how annoying I found izuku’s fight against the super muscle-y villain. WHEN WILL THIS BOY LEARN TO BE SMART WITH HIS STRENGTH. HE HAS THE ABILITY, THE AUTHOR COULD ACTUALLY MAKE INTELLIGENT STRATEGY MORE OF A THING INSTEAD OF ALWAYS MAKING THE SOLUTION “SMASH HARDER”

BRB CRYING BC I LOVE YAOMOMO SO FUCKING MUCH, SOMEONE TELL THAT GIRL SHE’S SMART AND BRAVE ENOUGH TIMES THAT SHE FINALLY BELIEVES IT HERSELF

“‘Tonight,’ he said, ‘you will shine like a jewel. A ruby. An extraordinarily big ruby.’ He cocked his head. ‘You’d be the worlds largest ruby on record, I suppose. One with…arms.’” ahhhh I’m always a sucker for a complete and utter dumbass.

“If the first fall was God’s will, whose was the second?”

this book is so TINY. also has way less of a driving plot than I remember??? it feels like vignettes from the life of Alanna the page rn.

George Cooper strolling up to two lil palace pages like “hi I’m the new teenage king of the thieves if you ever need me here’s how to contact me let’s be friends” 🤦🏾‍♀️

“I had discerned the ways in which we had been sculpted by a tradition given to us by others, a tradition of which we were either willfully or accidentally ignorant. I had begun to understand that we lent our voices to a discourse whose sole purpose was to dehumanize and brutalize others—because nurturing that discourse was easier, because retaining power always feels like the way forward.”

“There’s a sense of sovereignty that comes from life on a mountain, a perception of privacy and isolation, even of dominion. In that vast space you can sail unaccompanied for hours, afloat on pine and brush and rock. It’s a tranquility born of sheer immensity; it calms with its magnitude, which renders the merely human of no consequence. Gene was formed by this alpine hypnosis, this gushing of human drama.”

I hate RUNNING INTO HOMETOWN REFERENCES WHERE I LEAST EXPECT THEM. DO I KNOW THIS OLD COUPLE GETTING INTERVIEWED? HAVE I RUN INTO THIS AUTHOR AT THE MEIJER WITHOUT KNOWING? WHERE IS YOUR MAGICALLY LARGE GARDEN, JERRY AND RUBY?

“Principles won’t keep you warm tonight.” Why did I wait so long to start romance novels. WHY DIDI WAIT SO LONG TO START ROMANCE NOVELS.

Oh DAMN we got a dumb boy in our hands UGH

Cyra seems to like graphic novels way more than picture books.......
