Ugh, Emma is such a snob. This is a more readable book than Mansfield Park, but I don't think I'll wind up liking this book much more than I did as a high schooler.

I'm really enjoying listening to this! A lot of the things that drew me to birding also appealed to the author, and it's fun hearing some of her experiences while birding

Some of the changes to the story in this volume are throwing me off. They're not bad! I just didn't realize these wouldn't be true to the books.

I am having so much fun with this. I'm really enjoying the audio narration, and I just really love how ridiculous Emily and Rose are as academics.

Wow, this book is so relentlessly full of awful people

I'm enjoying this, but wow. The patriarchy is overwhelmingly brutal in this book.

Oh no. This is so going to backfire, isn't it? Sigh

"Fey women cannot kill, not even to defend their lives. Their natural empathy prevents it." Wow, do I hate everything about those sentences. There's been some weird gender stuff going on in this book, but that sums up the undercurrents really well.

This book is so big, and yet it feels like nothing has happened 😭

Ugh, I want to shake these characters for being idiots. And not in a good way. The Tairen Soul is too busy getting mad at everyone to properly play politics, while Ellie doesn't have much personality and doesn't want to accept how her life has changed. They're making things worse for themselves

There is still a lot of European history and French references that are lost on me, but this is way more interesting now that we've reached history I'm vaguely familiar with, in this case the reign of Louis XIV

Kind of questioning how much I really want to learn about French history 😅 I was inspired to pick this up after realizing how little I really knew about the Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, but these first few chapters on medieval Paris are rather dry

I am enjoying this audiobook immensely

I like this well enough, but my library loan expired and I'm just not in the mood to make myself finish this right now.

Wow, one more chapter and we learn how the mom made Jennette anorexic, and my rage shot even higher. Wtf

I'm guessing I'm about a quarter of the way through this book (who ever knows with Audible), and wow do I hate this mother

This book is entirely too long

Idk, this is pretty slow. I'm listening to it on audio and it's been almost the length of a whole book, and I'm still only 40% of the way through

I love everything about this book. The audio is amazing, and I can't wait to buy a physical copy and flip through the comics

Wtf am I even reading?
