“They are Orpheus, she is Eurydice, and every time they turn back, she is ruined”

It’s page 5 and already I was served with a wicked reference

Should I dnf it? I’ve been stuck on this book for forever, and I loved The Book of Doors but here I’m really bored

bfr you’re telling me a priestess doesn’t know about the weaver???

Really unsure why I’m reading this right now but at least it’s fast-paced

A girl asked me what I was reading and I told her and she said “it sounds good I should read it” and I directly answered “no you should not”, and trust me it wasn’t for a good reason

I LOVE EINAUDI (and I’ve been bored for more than 100 pages now…)

“This isn’t a spectacle or a ceremony (…) it’s just you and me (…) I just want you to feel good”


Now this broke something in me or did it repair it anyway I’m sobbing

Loool the gargoyle thought they were Shakespeare

I love reading adult fantasy where the characters are 26yo and not 16

help this is so awesome, my eyes are too tired to stay opened, else I’d have finished the book this night I swear

giving your male interest the same first name as hayden christensen was a low blow, now I keep imagining anakin

I’m sorry but this is soooo slow, our man has been learning how to use potatoes for like 100 pages now

Omg omg omg I’m so happy

So it’s pills then

realising that Covid was long ago enough so that I can now read about it in fantasy books altered my brain

He called her “my love” as he searched for her through the unknown HAAAAAAAAAAA

When the characters say “we did it” but there’s still 150 pages left

“He flexed his fingers as if working out a cramp HAAAAAAAAAAA”

I want to dnf this

Does someone know where I can find a recap of the first book ‘cause I don’t remember a single thing 🥲

I almost gasped out loud while the nice Stewart was asking me if I wanted sugar in my coffee because GIRL WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT NOOOOO I HATE WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT IN BOOKS AND STORIES AND HAAA

As an antisocial introvert currently leaving alone in another country to write my master’s thesis and who struggles to talk to other people, I just LOVE this book

Am I supposed to cry over a history book?😭😭😭

Don't give me ideas or i might just do a Phd in faeries study

I’m in shock over the rape of Cleopatra III by his uncle/father in law/husband (did I understand that correctly?) Ptolemy III. I mean you would try to put it in a book people would tell you it’s too complicated to be real but no don’t worry it actually happened around 141 BCE

I swear each time I read an Ali hazelwood book I feel attacked as an European - last time they put the red wine in the fridge and now what the hell is the “French disease”???

Even as a French patriot, I’m shocked to read that Germany is “a small European country” like small? Have you seen a map?

I read 38 pages of this and still haven’t learn anything more than I did by reading the first page…
