‘Don’t feel neglected,’ Luke said to Theodora. ‘We will bury you alive.’

lol I was not expecting this book to be so funny 😂

His name is Lazlo?! lmao

“Why was it always the hospital’s fault when things went wrong?”

Felt in my bones. I tell ya I get no respect.

Made it to Part 2. Status is: meaty.

The dragon would not have left her alone with his mother. I’m just saying.

“A pair of pink heart-shaped sunglasses rested upon its skull.”

💗

Ready for part 2.

This has been one of the best fantasy romances that I’ve read in a while.

”I should say not. What good would she be to us?”

“We might be some good to her,” said Matthew suddenly and unexpectedly.

- For Canada 🇨🇦, for Women’s History Month, and for maybe a bit of levity

I let out a trembling breath. “And what sort of queen would that make me?”

He looked perfectly earnest as he leaned in to kiss my cheek. “Mine.”

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

“How easy it is, to transition from the animals we can be into the frequency of civilization.”

Holy moly this was hot 🥵

“I read because I have no friends.”

“God, what a fate. To be so empty, that joy might only be found in the sight of others just as bereft. What a hell. To think that which makes you care makes you weak.”

😭

”Hate is poison. Hope is salvation. And there’s still some things in this world worth saving.”

”My soul does not rest, because the eyes of the dead have no eyelids; stay a moment longer with me so that together we may receive the shower of blood and snot about to be loosed on me by the gods.”

Well then.

”Come on, imagine you’re a young girl and the Tsar of Monsters himself is paying attention to you. He treats you nice—only you, no one else—and it makes you feel special. Wouldn’t you fall for him?”

I’d be cooked 💀

“All he wanted to do was crush her in his arms in a paroxysm of relief, and kiss her, and then dismember her with his bare hands.”

These two are going to kill each other 😂

I was getting Attack on Titan vibes because there is a community cast out across the ocean for some unknown reason.

I realized that this was totally reaching but then this dude says his name is “Acker.”

Bruh.

My question: “holy shit is this entire book nothing but darkness and misery?”

The answer (pg 494):
”’How does a man pray?’

“‘I don’t know. I don—’

“‘He prays on his knees, Gabriel.’

😮‍💨 ok, now I’m a believer.

’You mean people willingly serve these devils?’

“‘Cows,’ Aaron growled. ‘Cows praying for the night they might become butchers.’

This book is not soothing my election anxieties lol 😂

She better put her damn glasses on soon or I’m going to lose it.

“I was a really lonely kid. The advantage to being unpopular is you get a lot more reading done.”

At least there’s that 🥹

“Why raise children on the promise of magic? Why create a want in them that can never be satisfied—for revelation, for transformation—and then set them adrift in a bleak, pragmatic world?”

All of these liberal arts kids are taking EE as their science credit?? Yale is wild!

Oh.

I’ve reached the glow stick part.

To quote Zero Cool’s mom, “Now I see what all the fuss is about.” 👀

”Tell me you don’t need to be owned.”

“As soon as you do. I wore your lock. But you wore my key, didn’t you?”

I had no intention is rereading this, but there were 14 chapters (14!) at the end of Kiss of a Demon King, and the smut was…irresistible.

Let’s see: ouroboros, incestuous creepers, and a feisty virgin. I’m back to Mexican Gothic!
