Soooo I've found the obligatory love triangle.

Dane: the classically handsome good guy who only wants to protect Violet (and she has a crush on him)

Zaiden: the desperately handsome bad who wants Violet dead.

My predictions: she will sting Dane along, but will ultimately fall in love with Zaiden because he's mean to her and their love will unite the kingdom.

Teenage girl who's murdered mother was queen. The wheel isn't being reinvented here, but let's see where it goes🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Heather sees her reflection but it's delayed.... maybe it's skinwalker preparing to take her place? STAY AWAY FROM MIRRORS HEATHER! PLEASE STAY AWAY!

What's up with Carol? Yellow sharp teeth?!

Dead Auther books?

Too much symbolism and too much similie

Colors in my ears?! 🫣🤨

Slow beginning. Giddy in my ancestors mischief.

Chapter 2: I don’t think I like Scythe Marie.

Chapter 1: it’s basically a call to arms for scythes. ei: POWER & CHAOS

…. I don’t trust Owen
…. I don’t trust Owen
…. I. Don’t. Trust. Owen
That is All

Something is off with Mr. Gibson and his son. I don’t think they’re bad or villains, but Mr. Gibson blushed blue and when Felix was cut, he bleed … teal. HE BLEED TEAL AND MR. GIBSON BLUSHES TEAL!!!

Teal blood?! Felix’s blood is TEAL?!!!! 🤨🤨🤨

The mention of colorism is realistic. Most of us affected by it realize it, dislike it, but it’s so common, we don’t spend too much time thinking about it in the everyday life. It just ‘is’ unfortunately. Joy speaks about how the a Royal is marrying a darker-skin man and how people aren’t keen on it but then moves on

I love how the author speaks about weight, and dieting. It’s realistic without being hateful and self deprecating. The woman protagonist talks about how tight her dress fits around her arms in a relatable way.

What species are they though?

Currently trying not to fall in love with Felix. Don’t judge me 😍

I don’t even know these people but I want the wife back PRONTO! 😭😭😭

This book is trip! Humans are hard to kill? Wow!!!

Ok, Mops just said the admiral covertly gave them a 5 hour window to save her infected crew members and the audiobook has 5 hours left… clever work, Mr. Hines, clever 🤔🤔🤔

Someone, anyone! Please tell this story gets better and at some point starts to make more sense. I’m really struggling not to DNF this book. Should I keep giving it chances? 😩😩😩

What is doing this book in:
🤺-Opening with a disjointed fight scene
🤷🏽‍♀️-Lack of a proper intro to the land Nami ran away to
😴- A narrator who sounds disinterested, and sleepy
🕵🏾-The appearance of characters the author knows we’ve never met, and receive no intro
😭- Nami is still trying to tell people who have been surviving without her, how to do things

Ok, now new characters are being spoken to but we as the readers have no idea who they are. This is REALLY taking me out of the story and distancing me from the plot. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE and WHY SHOULD I CARE? 😮‍💨🧘🏽‍♀️🧘🏽 Breathing it out, and continuing on.

Slow start. There’s a fight going on, but it’s seems more like a passive aggressive practice session than anything actually life threatening. Haven’t even finished the first chapter yet and it just feels haphazard and jumbled. I’m assuming the person narrating is Nami but I’m not. Honestly, from the way it’s written, I really don’t care what happens whoever this is. Hopefully things pick up.

Ok feelings so far:

🧑🏽‍🦱Tor: Lovable older brother
-Will cut you for Kiva
-Tired of🤜🏽 for a cause
-Will fight to the death
👱🏽‍♀️Zuleka: Jerk
-Thinks Kiva was ‘safe’ in a death
prison
-Jealous
👩🏽‍🦳Kiva’s Mother: cunning, vengeful

Imma need Jarin to live literally forever. Like forever, forever. Also, I’m conflicted. On the one hand, Kiva has has her responsibilities, but also, she was left to fend for herself IN A DEATH PRISON 💀☠️💀

Unpopular opinion: Kiva needs to ditch her family, become a healer, and marry Jarin 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Not feeling this one as much.

Imma worry about ‘one day’ one day 😂😂😂

Mr. Peele !!! I’m loving this book!!!

I don’t trust Marie. She HYPER suss 🤔🐍🤔🐍
