okay im gonna guess rn that he didnt kill his siblings

i need to take a break from that humongous book and read something a little faster paced to get out of this pmdd-induced rut

i'm slugging along very slowly but i just realized that i've read a lot of historical fictions set during ww2 and none during napoleon's france

four funerals: um somehow i didn't think that school shootings would be covered under dark academia ..? anyways, this presents the perspectives of a professor who thought the shooter's violent writing was purely fictional, gave suggestion, and didn't report him, "allowing" the shooting to happen, and the shooter's mother. survivors' guilt, i guess. idk how to feel about this.

the ravages: predictable and nothing ground breaking, but it's always satisfying to get revenge of a cheater

okay the translation i was reading by chapman & hall was barely readable that i felt like giving up on all classics. so i stopped torturing myself and went to find another translation, which is robin buss, and it's so much better??

im gonna be so insufferable

i am uncomfortable on so many levels at so many things

wait im confused ... he just cleaned his car, that was filled with blood ... and later found a body in the trunk after work in the same car ...? maybe these events happen on different days? what!

for the record, having full dob of participants in your trial report is NOT normal. that's identifiable information and should be kept confidential. if someone can search up your participant using the information given, i'd better see an reb report

this far in and im hit with a feet/toe fetish. thanks for nothing.

i know this is all fictional and dramatized but where did they find so many unprofessional, unethical, rude, cruel, and apathetic medical professionals lol i know the system is flawed but still ...

wow ive heard of this before but this is officially my first book with emojis in it ...

finally dalinar and kaladin's povs intersect!!! but what happened to shallan and jasnah? i miss them

um its like really close to the end and i still have no clue how anything will be resolved

oh yes, the obligatory use the word "awesome"

/spoiler oh shit adonalsium sounds familiar ... and also whats hoid the driver doing here 😭 i swear i remember something significant about him

x house: 4 stars. happy to see a fleshed out short story! would read a full-length novel with this plot if i get more insights into the mass hysteria

uh huh the old magic ... this would explain everything! also is szeth the only one who can do the lashings?

and for the lady, perhaps some scraps of context?

kaladin is giving kelsier vibes. less mysterious and arrogant but they both have that charisma

what exactly are the heralds? whats the tranquiline hall? how is this related to mistborn at all 😭

how am i a third through the book and still get confused by the terminology

kaladin and its plot armour

oh yay new characters ..

okay okay this book is CHUNKY (almost 400k words) but im kinda getting the system a bit? still waiting to see how all the storylines align

the first 20% of a new fantasy series where nothing makes sense ... like sure whatever power u want i guess

the hare and the hound: i actually enjoyed this a lot and think i'd read a fully developed book with this vibe of magical realism. that being said, nothing about this is dark academia.

sabbatical: i don't think i understand what the author is aiming for here. or how it's supposed to be dark academia? just because it's set in a school doesn't make it dark academia?

pythia: this was highly anticipated bc im a sucker for olivie blake. was honestly quite confusing at times but i did enjoy the techno-speculative aspect of it, similar to a black mirror episode. actually i think there might be one or a few episodes of black mirror on immortalizing your consciousness in a computer?
