the author of this uses italics so liberally i would be annoyed even if they were a fanfic writer, but i’m bearing with it

i wish i hadn’t read the silence of the girls before this one, i really think i would’ve enjoyed it more without silence of the girls as context

i forgot how much i adore zale, the nonbinary rat priest lawyer who steals the show of this book completely

i have to say, adding in these insanely sexist/sexualizing lines that feel wildly out of place in the propriety-focused setting (childbearing hips!?) so that the mc has an opportunity to feel even more dysphoria on screen is…. certainly a choice

oh my god the serial killer is totally [redacted for spoilers] isn’t it. i am convinced this guy’s killed at least one person

this book’s theseus is one creepy mf. get out of there girl 😭

“i love you. i hope you don’t mind” omg
