No one will be spared when the wolf comes home!

Excuse me! Wait….what?

The beginning was not what I thought it would be!
Could this book be worth all the hype?

I would read her grocery list!
Kingfisher does not miss!

"Well done."
"I do pride myself on not being a complete idiot."
"Do you?" Fairhrim sounded genuinely surprised. Osric fantasied about throttling her for the second time in so many minutes.

"Women got that feeling about him, that funny one we all get when we know something isn't right, but we don't know how to politely extricate ourselves from the situation without escalating the threat of violence or harassment. That is not a skill women are taught, the same way men are not taught that it is okay to leave a woman alone if what she wants is to be left alone.”

"Psychiatry is one of the patriarchy’s favored tools to control women."

“They will call you hysterical no matter how much dignity you have. So you might as well do whatever the hell you want.”

It amazes me that I can still be surprised at how suboptimal humans can be.

The captain died trying to steer me into the sun while playing a religious chant on repeat.
Excellent.
This is wonderful news.
None of this is my fault.

"She is a flame in the dark and the night is full of moths."

"Don’t look at me,“ I said. " Appealing to men is really not my area of expertise. Eating them is more my thing.“

I may be a little behind on human courtship rituals. The last time I was topside, people were scandalized by ankle exposure 😂

Try to read this slow….

I have no idea why but thus so so much fun

Peace isn’t peace if it’s only given to some.

To control languages , to control words, is to control what people know.

Wishing all of you a wonderful and happy NEW YEAR.
May your 2025 be filled with good books and moments you will cherish!

Why is this so popular? I really don’t get it at all

Maybe it’s me but I really don’t get the hype so far.
It’s not bad…but it’s not good either.
Mostly it’s a bit boring

Familiarity could look very much like love from a certain angle, if one didn’t look too hard .

Becoming the hero of your own story does not always mean you get a happy ending.

Even the devil does not trust men to honor a bargain, so it does not deal with them. It offers power only to women.

Men do not know what it feels like to be hunted.Men do not walk alone on dark streets and think in about fingers closing around their throats or their skulls thudding dully against the pavement. (…) Ember likes to find them where they sit or stand or walk,comfortable,unafraid. Because there is no need to fear if you are a man. You own the darkness. It’s your space.

I leaned forward over the table and cupped one hand around my ear.
"Was that a compliment I heard? You’d best be extra careful what you say or I’ll think this forced proximity is improving your opinion of me."

Screaming! This line is utter genius !

"Some of us in the family were worried you might abandon your responsibilities and run off with an unseemly musician." She let out a little titter. "Can you imagine?“
I let my lips stretch across my teeth with a smile.
"Don’t be silly Aunt Delilah,there was never a chance of that. You see, I want to be the unseemly magician someone runs off with, not the other way around."

I am so hyped for this!

"And the secret is to dance like no one is watching."
He looks at me curiously. "Who said this?“
"Let’s say I did.“ I grin guiltily at my blatant plagiarism of the cheeky sign in my mother’s bathroom. It could have been worse. At least I didn’t tell him to Live,Laugh,Love.

"I’m fine, thanks to you."
He shrugs. "I’m obliged to protect you.It’s my sworn duty as a Tamer."
That doesn’t sound very romantic. And when he says he’s a tamer, who or what does the tame, exactly? I hope, it’s not me.
It’s probably me, isn’t it?
