“It’s bread! How do you kill someone with bread?!”

Me, a coeliac: …🥲

The best prologue I've read in a while for sure. So many expectations, please don't let me down.

My eyes are rolling, they hatin', patrollin' and tryin' to catcha sense in all this.

I get it, it's my bad, it's a great work on a "metaphorish-new-age-Shakespearian-play" but man, is everyone a pumped annoying clichè.

I'm reading more Shakespeare lines now than in three years of English literature classes.

I swear if they don't stop quoting Shakespeare every three words I'm throwing this book under a train. Who speaks like that anyway.

All this redundant and convenient foreshadowing is getting extremely irritating already.

All this "Sister Apple, Sister Owl, Sister Tallow etc" is really making me questioning if James Charles didn't actually ghostwrite this book.

Not sure how I can take these characters' names seriously... Abbess Glass, Mistress Blade, Sister Thorn, Sister Apple? Like, for real?

Ready for the tears.

Everything has been way too calm for way too long... Shit is about to go down isn't it *insert nervous laugh here*

The general atmosphere and the writing style make this story so damn fascinating.

I never listen to audiobooks because I get distracted too easily - thank you immensely to all the precious souls that strongly recommended I listen to this one. I'd have missed an incredible experience by just reading it.

*Unpopular opinion incoming* Please someone tell me that Shellan gets killed off soon, I don't know how she can get more obnoxious every page turned.

In my defence, I've only recently acquired the audiobook, that's the sole reason why I've waited this long, I swear. Cross on my heart.

Let's get out this comfort zone then.

Devastated.

Got triggered already by the prologue. This is going to be fun.

Apparently my brain just doesn't want to accept that me and Gaiman are not meant to be.

Friendly reminder: don't read this book if you're on a diet.

Man, how badly have I missed this world

Rereading this beauty for #IronTomeaThon

...It could be better

But of course Lu, it's not that you're already reading three books, just start a fourth one, why the hell not

Hiya, Goodreads friends -
it's been a lot since I last log in here. Had to take some time bc of bad health issues. Still not in the happiest of places but I've missed ya - So guess who's back-back again, and hopefully not going anywhere anytime soon.
And since we're here, happy NY'sEve, here's to a 2o18 full of sunshine bc we f- need it.

And just like that, it was over.

This book is pure agony and I love it.
