only alexis hall can have me giggling and kicking my feet when reading a book about a game I have absolutely no previous knowledge of.

really enjoying this so far!

I need more of nik and fin..... like every other storyline is lowkey boring me at the moment

the audiobook is SO well made, I love their voices!

"Intimacy is the only shield against insanity." HOW DARE-

okay I did NOT know what I was getting myself into and I kind of want to drop this because I don't normally read tropes like this.... but I still decided to continue bc it's nicky james lol

finally got this book and I'm so EXCITED because cat sebastian literally NEVER disappoints

"It mattered that they'd come back for him."
idk why but small lines like this always get me when it comes to natasha pulley's writing. likeee you were describing a llama a few lines ago and then thisss

Also overall update: I'm liking it so far! I didn't know what to expect because it's SO different from her other books but I feel like a book like this makes it possible for her to be even more creative!

ok this is hilarious I'm loving it

this is SO boring and I can't focus properly but I'm too stubborn to dnf lmao

this author is SO underrated. she straight up writes the softest and most realistic queer historical slow-burn romance and the characters always have so much chemistry

I was supposed to wait until summer before reading this but I'm way too impatient so LETS GO. one of my most anticipated book releases of the year, I'm SO excited

"I hoped for you, once. I dreamt, with all my heart, for someone, anyone in the world to be mine." 😭❤💔

ok I'm already like 99% sure this is going to be a new favorite. it's so quotable and diverse and emotional and I'm😭😭❤

I actually thought I wouldn't like this when I read the first few chapters but it's starting to really grow on me!

alistair having his bi awakening while torturing a spellmaker with a hot guy lmao what a disaster I love him

I'm actually really enjoying this one! queer horror is where it's at

oliver, GO OFF. this is actually getting a lot better now and I really liked luc in the last couple of chapters

I'm having a lot of oliver-related feeligs right now. he's pretty much the only character I truly care about at this point

ok I feel so betrayed right now. to think I actually felt really bad for that one character wtf

"How could she explain that this city was a graveyard? That they were walking every day through streets where there had been a holocaust, a mass murder of neglect and antipathy, that when they stepped through a pocket of cold air, didn't they understand it was a ghost, it was a boy the world had spat out?
Here, in her hand, a stack of ghosts."

I saw this coming but it still HURTS 😭💔

i know for a fact that this book is going to DESTROY me (and be a new favorite lol)

I had my doubts but I'm actually really enjoying this so far! there are five pov's (for now) but it's not too confusing and I really like the dark academia vibes (+everyone's queer so there's that too)

I'm really liking the ace rep so far!

fingersmith is one of my favorite books and I wasn't sure if this was going to be sapphic as well but the vibes are already there!!

"I had believed that he could not have broken my heart any more than he had - but now there was this. There was this." SHUT UP wtf

"If I look sad it's because this is the happiest I've ever been for years, and you did that, but you aren't even one tenth mine and you never will be." SCREAM

I know there's all this depressing radiation stuff going on but god do I love reading about middle-aged queer people falling in love

"perhaps valery reminded him of someone else."

me who is fully aware of how natasha likes to mess with characters' memories, especially in a romantic context: interesting
