Fun when the time it takes information to travel is a feature not a flaw

Liking it a lot more now 😌 many beautiful passages and more interesting choices

Decent momentum but I feel like I’ve been toiling through the obvious for hundreds of pages.

Why did I have the impression this would be low romance? Would it hit the spot if I didn’t feel bum-rushed?

‘So she understands why (she) might blame anyone and everyone who contributed to ___. Blame isn’t a precious resource, to be stored up and given to the one person who really deserves it. It’s a thrashing many-headed monster, big and mean and sprawling.’

Master of his domain?? Ok Seinfeld 😂

EW this is anime level American caricature and what kind of brother calls his sister BABYDOLL

This book was going downhill for me but chapter 49 was lovely

Really? None for Glen Coco?🚪

I love when people respect each other’s pronouns during conflict 🙌🏼

*shit out of heaven

‘Floating in the wind like the ugliest angel ever shot out of Heaven.’

It’s great when a book delivers a description that can only describe one person 😂

1) ’…whose slinking form cuts through the smoke and drab of the tavern like an ember falling through fog’

👏🏼💃🏻🆒 queen shit yes pierce paint the picture

2) ‘… (feature) gone, ripened into womanhood…’

👎🏼🤢🚫 absolutely not, actually never, no thank you pierce

Ok it’s enjoyable again. This audiobook is not it!

I want to dnf so badly. These accents are ATROCIOUS.

I didn’t know anything about this book besides it being a classic, and it’s definitely not what I expected!

I started skimming before Rites of the Starling and then realized I had forgotten everything haha reread it is

‘The activity of figuring such things out is the substance of an absorbing life, not something you have to do to in order to prepare for one.’ 😌

Just saw a spoiler looking up how to spell a character name ughhh -___-

Anyways Fitchner reminds me of Luthen x Mad Eye Moody, and I’m charmed but wary of the Dune of it all.

for the record, officially locked tf in
but also if this book has *everything* but astrology girlies I will riot

"My dad is dead" (x 100)
"She's a good woman" (they're 16)

I swear if his wife gets pregnant and/or killed so he can be the man he needs to be (lead the riverdance rebellion) I'm gonna yeet this into the sun (keep listening, salty) 😤

I know I’ve got to give it a chance, it’s just so patriarchal on purpose and I’m tired. I forgot what it’s like to have a MC like this.

Trying to pace myself since he recommends reading a chapter a day… compromising with week a day 😅

ehhhhh

I have Gabriela by Katseye stuck in my head -_- Abriella is the most beautifully famished special girl… idk if I can do this

A hard one to put down! I’m not doing myself any favors with the emotional whiplash 😵‍💫

I’ve wanted to dnf since the first chapter, but have been pushing through since it’s an arc of the trad publish… going to be difficult to write a review without being able to pull quotes.

I’ve been loving it, so I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop to explain the low rating…

Thanks for the suggestion but no, I’m tired of small protagonists!
