right so..... this book wasn't edited at all

"he doesn't try to kiss me, of course. he hasn't been shot at, isn't delirious with drink, isn't filled with enough self-loathing." never gonna stop being insane about them

i liked this well enough when i first read it 3 years ago but boy is this re-read (bookclub) rough......

"the tootsie roll center of the eldritch being" sure is a sentence

the ending can't hurt me if i don't read it

think my bosses would understand if i called out of work tomorrow to read?

fuck sleep. where's the caffeine in this house? i wanna stay up ALL NIGHT AND READ, WORK BE DAMNED

NOW I KNOW WHY I WOKE UP HERE ON THE SHORELINE COUGHING UP BLOOD IN THE TWILIGHT EVERYTHING LOOKS THE SAME. hannah whitten, i KNOW you were listening to sleep token writing this book

🎶 will we remain stuck in the throat of gods? / will the pain stop if we go deeper? / sooooo let's get swAAAALLOOOOOWED WHOOOOOLE 🎶

this is one of the greatest days of my life

i will forever stand on the fact that this series is the best love triangle ever written because they all love and care for each other so damn much

"you fool. he's a VAMPIRE. you know what it means to bite a vampire."
"i had no choice. he was choking me."
"i know. but really, will. AGAIN?"

will is such a little shit

(talking about a character from a tale of two cities) "there was a man who was worthless, and knew he was worthless, and yet however far down he tried to sink his soul, there was always some part of him capable of great action." will... you just told on yourself, sweetie

"as for the temperature of hell, miss gray, let me give you a piece of advice. the handsom young fellow who's trying to rescue you from a hideous fate is NEVER wrong." oh will, how i've missed your snarky ass

one MC is living in a fantasy world of gods and wizards while the other is living a high-tech scifi with space exploration and that dichotomy is SO GOOD

what in the copaganda....

ngl.... thinking of DNFing....

it's the way i just don't really care.... this reading slump continues to be fucking brutal

the way RJB weaves elements of horror into these books is so brilliantly (and grotesquely) done

really frustrated with how much the stakes in this book don't feel real. "we kidnapped the princess as leverage!" and then they don't even use her as leverage? and it just keeps going that way?

okay so i definitely think i'm obsessed with this book

i can't get over this MC's name literally being "of the mountain of the mountain"

one of these days I'll actually finish all the books i have started rn. why did i do this to myself

begging romantasy authors to stop referring to their non-human characters as "male" or "female". it's fucking annoying. not a day goes by where i'm not grateful that holly black doesn't do that shit. it really is unnecessary. just say he's a man for fucks sake (can you tell this is a pet peeve of mine?)

i'm in my favorite chunk of this book and it still makes me giggle and kick my feet. i love jude and how terrible she is and the lengths she's willing to go to, and i love how cardan gets a lot more depth after they find themselves thrown together in the chaos

the fact that i'm finally reading this means i can finally watch the movie when i finish it 👀

i love having the litjoycrate edition with holly black's annotations cause i feel so vindicated in some of my long-held theories

why are there pick-mes and fuck boys in pride and prejudice? what do you mean people haven't change in over 200 years?

is so frustrating to see how much potential this book has but the author keeps ruining it with the stupidest fucking jokes. the humor is SO juvenile and it clashes dramatically with this grim dark fantasy world that the author is building up.
