This is so fun

I fucking love this

I cried when Yolanda died and I’m not afraid to admit it

I don’t think the old people are going to make it to the third level 😫 The plot armor has to end at some point

I know people are gonna die, but it’s gonna hurt

I don’t want the old people to die :( This is supposed to be a fun book

I find the, not the action writing itself, but environmental description while action scenes are happening to be a bit lacking. But thats my only qualm so far! I haven’t had a book just be FUN to read in so long!!

I cannot tell if the Fool is some benevolent ageless god or a teenager with a complex

People are saying in reviews that this pivots away from the Red Ships, but I wonder when that is cause it’s almost at the end and everything I’ve read so far ties back to them in some way. It’s politics people…

Reads like a professor wrote it, and not in an amazing way, in a ‘I’m better than my peers and my students and I’m going to use the most laborious vocabulary imaginable to sound pretentious’ kind of way.

I’ve been reading reviews of people saying this is extremely slow — I think it’s simply excellently paced world building. This is the stepping stone for SEVERAL high fantasy trilogies, of course it’s going to be ‘slow’.

I so hope that the second installment in this series moves past this weird beastiality subplot. It’d freaking me out…

Samantha is so better than this that she doesn’t realize she and everyone surrounding her, including Ava, are the exact same people. They’re all human, with problems, and they’re all fucking fake about having problems. Or maybe, their problem IS that they’re fake. Like Samantha….

I like the father’s wife, I think she’s a character that will learn to care within her own reason.

Denji my man, you shoulda kept that same I-hate-this-bitch attitude, for your own sake…

The pacing has slowed down quite a bit, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but in my opinion if it doesn’t pick back up soon it will start to drag. Ava’s character continues to irritate me, she’s so hypocritical. Actually, I don’t like a single character. It doesn’t hinder the story at all, as I’m sure I’m not meant to like any of them, but it grates the nerves.

The main character must be partially schizophrenic, to explain most of the ‘violent’ crimes in the city. My prediction right now is that Eleanor is a witch and is pushing her mental health further to get her to crack under pressure. Also — that dance scene was super fucking creepy dude, definitely got the chills as I was reading by candlelight!

I like the underlying tones of horror so far, but the random pop culture references drizzled in really whiplash me and take me out of the story ._.

I do not like Burrich, he has such weird sexual expectations for a fourteen year old… 🤢

Ughhh no, I didn’t want a love triangle, I thought it was just Marco and Celia. I don’t trust Isobel

If Marco is dating some other bitch besides Celia, imma be upset
