yknow rereading this as an adult i was expecting a lot less support for the "theyre in a throuple" angle. but no its not even really subtext huh

columbus mentioned!!! and yet theyve never brought up the blue jackets :(

now i know why brando sando's books are so long, he repeats the same thing over and over and says the most obvious shit in the world lmao. translates very very well to an audiobook i can listen to at work tho so im not complaining!!

he's not like other girls~ he brings books to the one direction concert

NO COCK!!! NO BALLS!!! SEMEN RETENTION UNLOCKS 100% OF YOUR BRAIN!!!!!!

these characters feel less like people and more like little puppets subject to the plot's needs. its interesting background noise for my job tho lmao

wow boyfantasy is simple as hell. going down like butter

if the author wants to get academic and pretentious, im gonna need her to revisit gideons genetics. bc what do u MEAN "he inherited the human halves of his satyr and mermaid parents" like EXCUSE ME. ik its magic or whatever but seriously. no respect for genetics ffs

why are authors so deeply obsessed with in media res. is it just me who can't stand it? so often it feels like someone dangling keys and saying "look! isn't it interesting??? aren't you interested??? please please please be interested!!!"

is that where andrew gets off, marrying a poor woman far beneath his station, then driving her to the brink of madness? is he crankin his hog to the tune of the yellow wallpaper?

girl u were gifted an iphone and ur boss is constantly gaslighting u - start recording babe

i let out a breath i didnt know i was holding

when r authors going to learn that a "record scratch freeze frame bet youre wondering how i got here" prologue is cheap, tacky, and turns me off from a book immediately

maybe im not paying close enough attention bc im listening on audiobook but the lily chapters being in reverse chronological order makes them kinda hard to follow

nothing is sexier than a guy taking ur shirt off and then immediately telling u about his childhood trauma and bad relationship with his mother

oh i see the evil foreigners worship the devil ok ok cool yknow my hardcore conservative dad told me smth similar so im glad to see theres a book out here he'd approve of🫠

damn cs lewis what did susan ever do to u

oh so we're just going to do blackface okay. jfc

in case ur wondering, this marks the THIRD black character who died to further the development of the white characters

that awkward moment when the brooding love interest's tragic past is that his father tortured him and one of the methods described is something that ur own personal irl father did to u🙃🙃🙃

in archery, hand dominance doesnt matter as much as eye dominance. there r many cases of a right handed person using a lefty bow. ig i can infer kai was referring to peyton switching from right in the trial to left in practice, but i fear that also might be giving the author too much credit lmao

of COURSE theyre gonna kill the black girl to further the white characters' relationship and individual growth what did i really expect

damn kai has a really traumatic backstory :/ sure wish it actually affected him in any way

also i cannot stress enough. 18 hours. the audiobook is 18 hours long. and i am feeling every goddamned second

oh theyre pilfering plot points from the selection now?

never in my life did i think i would read a book that made me wish i was reading the selection instead jfc

also the names are so uncreative. the elites vs the ordinaries. ppl with fire powers are blazers, ppl with superstrength are brawnies. the totally-not-hunger-games are The Trials.

beyond the names, the world and the characters and the plot is like this too. this book just feels so... empty

what is this world!!!!!!! what does it have in it!!!!!! does it have electricity? widespread literacy? where are we, and what can we do??? pls god give me SOMETHING

wannabe hunger games so bad like sooooooo baddd

am i the only one who doesnt like when the love interest is compared to the main characters dad?

how many times am i gonna have to sit through the same scene told from both characters' povs? bc if its more than just this once i will get fussy
