FINALLY the fantasy aspect kicks in I was beginning to think this Carmilla retelling had no vampires in it

now that I’m rereading it after Ive read Harry Potter I can say with confidence that this is basically draco x Harry fanfiction complete with its very own hagrid and Dumbledore

idc if they’re my bffs I would’ve booked it out of there the moment I saw all those mushrooms growing around

what is this twitter discourse LMAOOo starting to think kuang just put all of her twitter drama in this book as a way to show how actually! her critics are wrong and she is right!

maybe this is her first flop??

its clear that kuang has put a lot of herself into this book and so far idk if it's a good thing...

even with the censored version this book gay as hell

the secret history is babel but 200% more pretentious. like in babel they use big words because it makes sense. in secret history it's like the author is trying to say "guys this character is really smart I promise"

she's trying to set up a mood I can tell with like descriptions of old book smells and academia aesthetics but then the mc is from california... i don't believe.

“But, why was this? The moment he saw this man, Lee Hyunsung felt this sensation of the deepest corner of his heart ache a little.”

trying to ease myself back into reading with some short contemporary and honestly what was 7th grade miranda on because why was my review for this book so embarrassing like I want what she's smoking tbh

"The universe wouldn't be destroyed just because a single star suddenly vanished. There was a countless number of them, and their light would continue to exist afterward, too.

But for those living on a certain planet, that particular star would be everything they knew about light itself."

It’s not a classic unless there’s a little heaping spoon of racism

not a slur mr golding sir I’m becoming more disinterested with every line

Little boys are absolutely evil and I’m glad they get some representation in this book

the way that i've never felt happiness in my life

r.f. kuang really does have an amazing talent of writing anecdotal passages that convince you yes there is still hope!! and then crushing you so abruptly in the next paragraph . and all you can do is sit in horror

i can already feel that this will become one if my all time faves

this book such a wondrous mix of historical fiction, fantasy, and non fiction. never in my days did i think i'd thoroughly enjoy a book with footnotes

the era-accurate racism really packs an extra punch since i'm also chinese and man it just hurts so bad

oh god not on the subway

let’s be honest if I saw them on the subway kissing I would hate crime them . Like why are there two girls that are not me happy in a relationship in public

i will never understand the way that white people talk to their parents

Laying down on the road while it’s raining in absolute shambles
