Unhinged, obsessive, murderous and lesbian? That main protagonist is a morally questionable ride I'm absolutely down for.

"Congratulations are in order, I suppose! Since I have none to give, I will tell the others to respond appropriately."

This book has such invaluable lines for corporate meetings... This is peak passive-aggressive behaviour

"Bubble wasn't quite sane, in the common opinion."
Excuse me, sir. I'm at page 66 and can officially declare, that no one, absolutely no one of this weird, unhinged bastards at this house is even remotely sane.

The "four horsemen"? Is this a real thing in America? Do you really have like this legendary popular highschoolers everyone is obsessed with their entire life? In my highschool no one gave a damn. The date you graduate is the date your school forgets your entire existence...

A bitch fight between Leonardo and Michelangelo? Hell yes, give me flying paint, broken marble and all that flamboyant drama of the 15th century art scene!

Reading Murderbot again, because after reading Solaris I need therapy and to recharge my lost braincells....

"Something tells me the cake was a lie."

Who the hell puts a Portal reference in a high Fantasy book? I'm loving it XD

How women write high fantasy: The maiden flees from her marriage, teams up with a dragon and learns magic, because she doesn't want to have children and die. That's the spirit!

This whole court politics turning into a teenage highschool drama is just annoying. If I would be Cardan I would be happy to chill my life as a snake with all the drama surrounding me...

Black's cheap plot devices just keep on piling up like my laundry. The joke is, these characters are somehow always at the right place at the right time and have the right skills and yet they still get into trouble because of their incredible stupidity...

So I decided to finish this year with this masterpiece of generic fairy trash. I'm questioning my sanity. And I also hope Jude and Cardan are going to die at the end

Does this big ass intergalactic empire really use CARTOONS to explain military tactics? Like real smileys and shit?

Oh god, i love this!

So...Spensa is living in a cave with a whistling slug and a deranged warship that wants to classify mushrooms...I love this!

I was told Sanderson writes believable teenagers. Well, he does. Spin is naive, angsty, arrogant and edgy. Reminds me why I never liked teenagers in real live...

Because sometimes killing annoying terrorists and killing the sleazy, much older boyfriend of a friends' teenage daughter are theoretically both part of your job description, but you just can't stand the sad faces of the humans after a manslaughter.

Dear paranormal entity. You are pissed, I get it. But why the dog!

Are you stupid? That woman just wanted to sell you off to the enemy, didn't care about you getting killed and openly declared not loving you, but now you want to marry her? WTF Notker, the book is nearly over, get your shit together!

Ok, I have the feeling Notker starts to be the antagonist of the story and I hope it stays that way, because now he's interesting.

Can you finally decide whether you want to rule this empire or run away from your responsibility? Your motives change so quickly I can't keep track of them, Notker...

"Like I said, I'm a disappointment to her. She wanted me to be a murderer and an extortionist, like my father."

I always feel so uninspired to start a Parker book but whenever I pick up one, I love it.

I know this is a romance but right now I'm living for the friendship between Leonie and Rupert. My lovable two idiots.

"M'sieur, I am a slave to my wife. I am as the dirt beneath her feet. I must bestow on her all that she desires, or die!"
"Pray make use of my sword," invited his Grace. "It is in the corner behind you."

The 18th century way of subtly telling your guest to fuck off and die.

Trust Xander to talk about scones after two murder attempts and a few billion dollars at stake. That boy is a sweetie pie with sociopathic tendencies. And by far my favourite of them all!

If you don't insult each other with cold politeness while secretly pining for the other, you ain't in love!

This whole book could be a meme

"Kill him, Dominic?"
"Of course."
"What have you done with the corpse, my boy?"
"Done with it? Nothing, what should I do with a corpse?"
Mr Fox rubbed his chin. "Devil take me if I know?"

It's page 5 and the Marquise of Vidal is already giving zero fucks. I love it!

The plot just went from being a calming myth to a freaking thriller!

So you just created a robot, who behaves like a christian fundamentalist. Then you came to the conclusion you need to persuade it to believe in science or all people are going to die...

I'm so laughing right now!

The fact that I only needed to read every third word of every fifth sentence and still got the plot, perfectly underlines how an incredible waste of time this book was.

"When I'm told not to do something, I only desire to do it more."

Just how childisch can this get? I got used to at least two cringeworthy lines on every page, it's YA romance after all, but this is stupidity on it's highest level. Someone please kill the heroine.
