I remember what a difficult time I had reading Golden Fool. I at times hated reading that book because it was so hard for me seeing what these characters had to face. The Golden Fool was NOTHING compared to this!!!

ROBIN HOBB! WE ARE SO BACK!!!!

I can't keep up with the amount of times that this book has already made me cry

Why is there already a sex party on page 45. These are 16-year-olds.
This was very much marketed as an adult grim dark fantasy. I kind of don't want to read about teenage lust and hormones!? I got enough of that in Hobbs Rain Wild Chronicles already...

I'm genuinely so baffled by what I'm reading. Hobb, my love, why do you make me read about teenagers constantly thinking and talking about sex? Why put me through this 😭

I gotta say, this feels like a chore to go through - definitely not the best book to read on vacation. There's so much exposition, it feels like I'm reading a text book at times. The chapters are also ridiculously short. I'm not a fan of short chapters. I hope this book will pick up!

The MMC just saw the FMC smile for the first time and "a warmth blossomed in his chest."
THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ENEMIES

I'm so tired

I actually cannot do this enemies to lovers bullshit anymore. I actually can't. We are in chapter 17 and the FMC is already talking about her heart fluttering, she's talking about sparks and a knot in her chest when she thinks about the MMC. The MMC, mind you, with whom she had one (!!!) conversation so far at the beginning of the book.

I can't do this anymore

Hey! So, shooting me in the face would hurt less than this!

"You're always somewhere else. You never do the music where you are."

Instant tears

This feels like the best book I've ever read. I have a feeling this might just kill me though :)

I love this book so much, oh my god

How can a character be so self aware and insightful and yet at the same time be the absolute stupidest fucking idiot that ever walked the earth.

I don't enjoy this book anymore

Have you ever read something that was so terrible that it made your ears physically ring? Yeah, me neither, until I read the chapter "Quarrel" in The Golden Fool by Robin Hobb. A chapter so irrevocably damaging to the rest of the entire series that I genuinely have trouble wrapping my mind around it.

I struggle having to stay with Fitz right now. For the past 30 pages it has been a chore to keep reading.

Someone take me out of here, I can't take this anymore

Have cried three times so far. Off to a great start!

I struggle with this book quite a bit. I dont get it? What's the author's plan her? One of the MMC's just literally went ahead and murdered, like three people. INNOCENT PEOPLE. And I'm supposed to root for him?

Have you ever read something so clever yet so unimaginably twisted that you end up just sitting there starring at the wall in complete and utter shock-filled silence? Yeah.

My book has water stains and splotches ALL OVER from the tears that are running down my face in RIVULETS

Starling? Is actually the cruelest person in the series????

I'm SCARED

If Kennit doesn't die a violent and painful death in the next 50 pages I'll dnf this book

This reads like Tracy Woolf's Crave in the worst way possible

This SUCKS

I know what this world is to me, I know what these characters are to me. So, when I picked up this book from my shelves I asked the universe for strength, because I was not in the mood for a crying fit this evening.

I cried on page 8 and haven't stopped since...
