Memory loss, mimicry and camouflage… welp, that’s hella creepy

he just invents his own goggles to find the astrophage??? Damn ok

Oh???

Doing this god awful baby storyline again is pissing me off

Are you telling me the ghost dinosaur ATE the child???

Do we have to start every chapter reiterating that talking about this case “feels like purging an infection”? I got it the first 5 times it was said

If the bogeyman was paying rent would he be allowed to stay? 😂

A character, who from what I remember holds no religious beliefs, believes it’s demons with no evidence other than “there’s no other answer”
Oh god 😭

“Pregnant with hurt” is such an icky sentence tf

Though I want to believe the author could possibly care about exploited people, the way it talks about women really doesn’t show that at all.

Would benefit from more commas and better word choice
“mentored and groomed,” is an icky sentence. Leaving it at mentored or finding another word would have been better

“I want peace. I want to live again… with you.”
Kiss. Immediately.
Oh how he loves her. It’s killing me

my heart is DESTROYED

“Nobody’s asking them to be able to understand, just obey.”

“In what world had my god ever been a benevolent one?”
As a queer person who left the church this book is destroying me

“I know I choose forever in a burning house if it means I’ll wake up and see your face every day.”
Ok, that’s sweet

Quoting some of the exact same lines from the beginning of the book

Trying to convince me that Ryan is dead after he was present for the summer at the beginning of the book, which is in the future, is kind of annoying

Using the phrase “a fish out of water” to describe drowning is certainly a choice

Ryan is creepy as hell actually

Kennedy is a more understandable character, so I appreciate the perspective change, but I hate all these people and don’t really care what happens to them

A perspective change 142 pages in is certainly a choice
