Yeah okay so it's really seeming like Reece is just monster racist at this point. Also did not expect the kraken to fall for Reece at first sight. If I were there I'd tell the kraken to run for the hills because that guy is so racist, so not fall for him

I have to say, describing the way he moves around on his tentacles as "scuttled" is not setting up any sexy vibes here for their meeting which is about to happen

I am befuddled by what is and isn't considered normal in this world. It seems like non-humans are fully just part of every day life and always have been, and yet there also keep being moments where it seems that its actually not the norm after all. The human guy was scared of monsters in the woods as a kid, but if monsters are just regular people you see walking about then why are they scary? Is he like racist?

My god John has such a beautiful way of stringing together words. And his audiobook narration is filled with emotion in his voice.

The part about Marco Polo had me tearing up

Had to take a break while I waited for the ebook to come back to me and now I forget every side character. There are so many and they all have similar names and complex motives and relationships. I fear I am screwed lol. Need to look up a character breakdown or something. All I know are the fish, the prince, and the prince’s squire. All his half brothers are a mystery to me.

“Imagining someone as more than human does much the same work as imagining them as less than human”

I love that quote so much. The things I could’ve done with that sentence for my master’s thesis on the ways in which authors humanize and dehumanize characters.
