Listening to this book is just me constantly mentally dragging my hands down my face and making dying animal sounds, things are so bad! Well written terrible things! I knew going in but A L S O I am suffering!

Kalen just isn't interesting enough for this many people to be in love with him

Oh, I see, we are doing Forgotten Realms Batman.

Laughing at this book continually reminding us that Ruin is a Monk (class) because it knows otherwise we will assume he's a thief because he's a criminal. Feels very natural obviously!

Man, everything we heard about Ruin in the beginning had me SO HOPEFUL he was secretly Jarlaxle, only to have my dreams dashed 😮‍💨 Still, a decent enough beginning, love to have an insane evil elf running around

Okay second half, do your fucking best, because the first FIFTEEN HOURS have been just utter shit

Trying to vent some of my anger here so my poor wife doesn't have to watch me stomp around forever, but anything I want to say is major spoiler territory, so JUST KNOW!!! THAT I AM IN FLAMES ON THE SIDE OF MY FACE MODE!!!

I was getting... extremely frustrated with all the Ren slander in the last book and in the beginning of this one, so much so that I started buzzing around considering putting this down. Very relieved to see that beginning to turn around.

Thank god this mc is finally starting to resemble Arram/Numair at all

I wish there were spoiler tags for progress comments because hoo fucking buddy the THOUGHTS. I CAN PUT NOWHERE.

Dnf at 27%

Nothing wrong with it per se, the narration from Hera's POV is very interesting, but there is this constant overlay of "all things for all women are just as bad as they can be at all times everywhere" that is just too exhausting for me to deal with atm. Maybe I'll come back to it sometime if I'm feeling more able to deal with that element.

This about face from Simon feels completely insane and has had ZERO LEAD IN WHATSOEVER, I can't even be happy about something that should be good

Hello this is the absolute worst thing :')

I knew this was a decision to Suffer but man oh man! Am I ever SUFFERING.

Starting the new year right uwu

I've never been so terrified while also being relatively certain I know what's about to happen @_____@

Wow I am so anxious about the impending doom I can feel lurking around the corner :);;;;;

I know people don't change magically or quickly or sometimes ever at all, but man, MAN is it difficult to stare down Lucien making bad decisions and then spending the rest of the chapter thinking about how bad and terrible he is and being contently miserable about it, pls don't let this be how the whole book goes

Oliver is wonderful As Always, no notes ❤️

Hmmm I am. So messed up about my ships in this book! Feel certain things are going to get so so bad even when I have reason to be relatively reassured at the moment! HMMMMMMMM

So early on and I am suspicious of everyone! Christ!

Another good friend and soon-to-be friend group owo

The intense and pervasive existential dread has me going slow through this one, but I am enjoying it, though the longer it goes without the other shoe dropping the more I am terrified of it

Maritza!!! Trust your instincts!!!

I've had Julian for maybe 3 pages now and I love him. Hoping the bad guy isn't who I think it is~

Me: I will finish the book I was already reading before starting anything else!!!
Bff: Here is yet another very gay book, enjoy at your leisure
Me: .... I must consume this immediately

A lot of the beginning exposition of this feels a little stilted - a lot of explaining dynamics even while they are trying to be shown? But I do like it so far, and I feel like it's going to make me very homesick for LA at times.
