I'm really intrigued by the focus on fighting and (probably, ultimately) healing trauma. But the writing style is really giving me a headache at times, as well as the characters doing stuff that just feels nonsensical from time to time...

I like some parts of James and Lex chemistry, but all in all, it falls weirdly flat so far.

This is agony in the best damn way.

Passive aggressively venmo-ing each other or, as I like to call it: flirting

I love it already. So many important, highly topical themes. And both their sides have absolutely hideous, but also spot on arguments.

Okay - time for the final showdown ever in the Ninth House cosmos

I feel like there's a certain repetitiveness to this. It's always a happening, then gathering around a table feat. food and discussions, followed by an iteration of Darlington being proper, prim and too good for Alex (or vice versa, depending on the POV). I still love the world Leigh Bardugo has created, but I'm bored by the plot dynamic by now.

I can't believe we're finally getting a book where Darlington is (hopefully) omnipresent. It's so good to have the gentleman of Lethe (and all his other new ... personalities) back! ... Still, pretty sure this is going to end in the worst heartbreak imaginable.

It's not hitting the same as Good Spirits, so I may have a second book curse going on, but I still like this!

... fuck, what if it's Gabriel? 🫪

istg*, if Darcy is in town to reap Frank's life, I'll burst into seven million pieces, simply by the force of my gigantic wail of denial.

*Luke Thompson, thinking of you

This grey haired diva is everything to me

Alright, we're finally doing this.

(Book sits at exactly 4 stars right now, can't wait to see if my review is gonna influence that)

"Fuck anyone who only wants the curated version of you." Okay, Hartman's got game...

Unfortunately, I'm not digging it alot so far, mostly because poppy makes my annoy-o-meter go absolutely haywire

😐

"Kicking my feet"-Counter: 2

(we are so back)

I'm running out of colour-coded sticky notes with this book 🥹

Possibly the cutest scene in a book to ever exist 😭

I'm trying to manifest summer ending soon

Venturing into science based dating app stuff was kinda cutsie, but apparently resurrection is next and I'm like ???????

This book already needed a lot more pages. We are robbed of basically every scene between Hutch and Katie that would've established them getting to know each other. I can't relate to a couple that feels flat because of this 🫠
