The mastermind you are at manipulating, Mr. Follett.

Anyone ever continue reading, but completely stop reviewing? How ... uhm, do I fix that?

The manipulation is maaaaaad

We've got a heatwave, I'm currently imitating life in aquatic conditions to survive and i needed a book I'm not afraid to ruin in the process of reading with sunscreen tinged fingers, when I came across this in the local book booth. This singlehandedly reminds me how much I've always loved KF's storytelling and that I can in fact read books in german - if they are not trash.

Shit's about to go down and I'm scared af :D

Don't be fooled by me taking a long time with this, I'm way too tired to read these days and anytime I do, I'm mad when I fall asleep because this is really, really good stuff.

"Flint says it's because gnomes are short little assholes who deserve nothing but to be trampled to death and to be ripped apart by the feral geese."

As someone who is only afraid of the holy trinity of "fuck no" animals: goat, geese and gators; this sounds terrifying and I would certainly not like to be a gnome in this case, even if i do identify as short and an asshole, occasionally.

Finished Book 3 last night, can't remember the last time i immediately picked up the next book in a series.

This is good stuff.

I am having so much fun with this. It's the perfect level of unhinged.

And we're back to the real thing, haha

Okaaaaay, i think I'm on the hook now. Also, Mordecai is my spirit animal atm. 😂

This is going to be the new Red Rising - when you ask a random man if they read, they exlaim yes!! and will recommend you this book.

Just ... an observation. Don't read any judgement into this.

This book hooked me exactly as hard as I expected it to.
The last time I had a feeling exactly like this was reading the live and let drood series back in my teens and I'm fully loving the experience.

"Selbst wenn wir tatsächlich Hitlers 'Mein Kampf' gelesen hätten, wir hätten es nicht ernst genommen. Wir fühlten uns nicht gemeint."


Dieser Satz fühlt sich so aktuell an, wenn man bedenkt, wie viele Wähler*innen denken, die AfD meine sie doch nicht - dabei sind es genau diese Personen, die die Rechtsextremen meinen und von deren Stimmen sie dennoch profitieren.

I had FOMO.

Recently saw a review on here for this book that I so deeply disagreed with, I had to unfriend the person reviewing. It really is that deep, friends.

I've been so hesitant lately to jump into a new fantasy series and then this was recommended to me again and i finally caved. How lovely that i did, this is stunning so far. And it also is going to absolutely shatter me, I'm afraid.

The way I inhale these books in general, but I do like Beau and especially Bailey with her no-filter, just communicate way of doing this so far a lot more than i did other characters in the series.

Honestly, so far I wanna shake the protagonist awake and save him from the "love" he takes, despite it being toxic af.
If this feeling persists, this might be one of the most uncomfortable reads of 2025 for me. Maybe ever.
