oh. ofc my favourite character is the canon autistic blonde lesbian...

there are so many blonde girls in THISSS and so many references to Emma frost...Mira grant I know you wanna be writing for marvel so badly 😭😭 other than that, im finding it quite interesting. the science of ocean exploring is mega and the mermaids stuff is kinda gory....

girl interrupted mention 😭😭😭

sailor moon cup, fob shirt, blink 182 mention and twilight reference??? this is so. is is everything. PARAMORE REFERENCE NEXT PLEASEEEEE

the worry with graphic novels is 1: the pages wont be easy to follow 2: the art style.

safe to say that already the novel is not a pain to read and the art style is so fun !!

mermaids yay 😁

the second main character in this is half-indonesian, which I really didn't expect! yayyy

the man is called Avery in this. bad vibes

guys like im so close to the end. didn't have enough time to finish it over the weekend but omg the end is so close and I love everyone and I just don't want it to be over

helen of troy im sorry about the levels of misogyny you have to endure. this is SO UPSETTING. but also loving how her and Cassandra's closeness is developing despite their mistrust of one another. this is how U do slow burn !!

i actually think this book gets stronger with each chapter. the tone of voice is easy to adjust to...loving Helen and Cassandra's tension!!! n yh it makes sense their dislike of each other at this stage. love when books don't rush a slow burn

feeling sooo bad for Cassandra....this is so EVUL WHY WONT PEOPLE BELIEVE HER..

ok moved on from Scotland to Irish books now...my favourite character so far being the blonde weirdo with witchy vibes...is anyone shocked ???? is anyone surprised ????

read more on the commute and do you know what. maybe v e Schwab is a genius actually and has decided to make the first 100 pages and last 100 pages of the book interesting to force me to finish it. wow miss Schwab!!! you have bested me !!! u cheeky bugger U!!

miss Schwab you've done the unthinkable which is make me not care about vampires... the "toxic relationship across the ages" beginning 77% of the way through the book??? throwing in 100 pages of ONE PERSON'S POV...who we only just met ...truly groundbreaking

too far in to dnf...there must be a point to it all...ve Schwab please...stop this pov nonsense....it's not adding to the plot....please v e Schwab....there's genuinely only one interesting character in this......

really enjoying this so far!! also love the British museum slander ...

fifth book in a row where Scotland is inevitably important to the plot...how does this keep happening to me...why is Scotland my Japan...

guysss this book is sooo good I'm really enjoying it!! finally a retelling that doesn't feel as though it's trying too hard or not enough. this almost feels like a companion text to Frankenstein!! love it so much

50% of the way through this book and there has been no toxic love affair of vampires through the ages......VE Schwab do you know you have 30 minutes....

okay it's picking up i won't lie, but turned the page and it was Alice's pov....SNOOZEFEST ! !

this hurts me to say but this is getting quite boring and tedious. there's far too many characters introduced for a chunk and then immediately made irrelevant. also the Scottish girl annoys me

ok sabine is the best character by far. the two randoms who got introduced were not it at all. and the Scottish girl (Alice) is so obviously written by an American it's kind of funny. im still invested btw! i want to know how everyone eventually crosses over (if they do)

ok i didn't get the audiobook with Katie Leung but here i am back home (reading a book about vampires)...the problem with having multiple povs is that the person who's life is set in the 16th century seems to be more interesting than the girl whose life is set in 2019...

reading this so i can finally watch the acclaimed series that's been on my list since it came out...Gillian Flynn's protagonists are always so sickly and prickly

this being my co worker's favourite book...i worry for her. every bit of information U learn about Eleanor just is worse than a rest. what a horrible life she's had so far and im only 56% of the way through??

bangladeshi man mentioned !!! shout out !!!

im finding it much more interesting than i thought i would....eleanor is certainly a unique voice! never read a pov like hers before
