... huh?

ABSOLUTELY THE FUCK NOT. I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT

"i thought, despairingly, that love didn't make cowards of us, after all; it made HEROES, and heroes usually didn't survive."

don't do this to me

from a writing perspective, i can't even imagine how many editing passes this took. it's a time loop, but every time it's a little bit different, and also, harrow is leaving clues the entire time so that with every new reveal you're like "fuck. yeah, that tracks". holy shit

"we had told this story so many times, you and i, and we would tell it so many more, and it would always end here, like this: with my blood on your hands and your tears on my face."

okay well now i'm crying

"i could tell from the look on your face you were half in love with her, this woman you were inventing. sometimes when you looked at me your eyes would go hazed and warm, and i would wonder which of us you saw." 🎶I SEE YOU GO HALF BLIND WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT ME🎶

"i had loved her, once, as a child loves god" ......

many a line to make me believe mrs. harrow listens to sleep token

my expectations for this are so high. i've been waiting all year for this. Reads with Rachel insists it's literally "infinite baths" by sleep token. begging the book gods that this is every bit as good as i want it to be

october is always my favorite reading month but this year i'm battling through one hell of a reading slump. anyway... this book is mostly a lot of fun but i feel like it's 90% dialogue

lol. guess who got this a week early. 2025 KNIGHT BOOK #3, LET'S GOOOO

don't worry about how many books i have started right now

"what is love, without freedom?"
"what is life, without you?"

DNFing

um. the way this lowkey just implied that the Unblessed are... kind of slaves... and hew was just... ordered to serve her... and i'm sure this book won't actually explore any of the implications of That at all

"i never swear. there are so many other words to use, and the foul ones are an insult to them and a degradation of one's self-control." give me a break. i really hate this guy

ugh

alas, i have to put the last 100 pages of "Locke" on hold to read this for wednesday's book club

WALK IT OFF!!!!!

v.l bovalino, you better not do what i think you're about to do

the horror of everything working itself out, but there's still half the book left

sobbing until i PUKE

The Yearning™️ going on in this book is *chefs kiss*

oh my god this woman really thinks this man doesn't love her back. GIRL!!!!

pissed the fuck off right now.

OMG MY NAME IS IN THIS BOOK

so many people made it sound like this book was the plague compared to the first one, and they're honestly idiots. did i like the first one better? yes. is this one still good? also yes (don't judge me lol)
