Why is this book not about Jessica and Chloe, that sounds way more interesting than our semi-generic everydude protagonist.

Oh man after all the genuinely awful shit with Paris I forgot about Diomedes, fuck yes I am ready for him and Odysseus to be awesome bros together.

NO SERIOUSLY PARIS HOW DO YOU KEEP BEING SO RELENTLESSLY TERRIBLE. Maybe don't insult Aphrodite in her own temple because "I'm an awesome warrior dude, she doesn't concern me?" Just stop, Paris, go and live on a mountain or somethng.

So having animals instantly love Paris but only showing it with female ones is already kind of uncomfortable with what's coming up and the whole swan connection Helen has. Then the book goes and directly, explicitly compares her to an animal. Basically Paris is finding new and exciting ways of being an awful person.

AENEAS AND PARIS, TWO TERRIBLE PEOPLE TOGETHER AT LAST

Okay, Eperitus, seriously. At MINIMUM you're 20. You've had 10 years of being the head of Odysseus' royal guards. You've DIED ONCE, which should give you some perspective on the whole thing. And your'e still in teenagery glory-in-battle-gotta-prove-myself mode. I'm sure this won't be an annoying character trait at all.

The guy in these flashbacks is gross and I hope something bad happens to him.

Goddamnit, I just realised what Offred means.

Help I am drowning in italics and also exclamation marks!!!!!

Bssically if the book doesn't end with the circus burning down I'm going to be disappointed.

Yep, that went about as well as expected.

I'm pretty sure I don't 'get' this book since the phrase 'love and loss creating a beautiful kind of pain' made me audibly cringe. Like, it would be fine in a different, better book, not the goddamn night circus. I'm this close to hate-reading.

150 pages in and I don't care about the characters, the circus, or the competition between Marco and Celia. Welp.

Nikolay this does not seem very productive, what are you doing, stop

That's some good foreboding right there.

Looking forward to whatever silly acronym MEDUSA is, don't let me down Mr. Reeve.

This is already better than The Idiot because Pierre is an actual character

LET'S DO THIS
