and the worldbuilding thickens! <- gonna be real w u guys i had that planned as an update before i finished the end of the chapter where my jaw dropped and i had to put my phone down for a little before continuing. holy shit. holy shit.

wish i could have a short snappy cutie review like a fun one liner but unfortunately the ESSAY cooking up in my notes app proves that before anything i am a yapper

title drop! (there are tears in my eyes and a sharp ache in my chest and i’m on the edge of my seat in the car as i read further)

need to wrap chanel in a blanket pump her full of nutritious food and keep her away from the world forever. alongside henry and alice ofc my darlings.

the worldbuilding, and specifically how religion plays a role in the magic system is sooo soo fascinating tbh but the budding romance happening..nawt a fan…maybe im wrong though 🙏🏽

unfortunately for chloe gong i already have my review written up for this in my mind and i am simply chugging along so i can post it. let’s see if she can convince me otherwise though!

fifteen pages in and we have just thrown subtlety OUT the window regarding romajuliette huh……………..

i am moving at the pace of a SNAIL somehow but im still chugging along...i am intrigued by this plot ive gotten into the proper thick of it where im like hmm.....

“When Lily smiled, Violette didn’t know what to do with herself. She wished she could stare at Lily as her lips curved and her eyes bent into crescents, but she could never manage to hold the girl’s gaze, and always looked away.”

VIOLETTE I KNOW WHAT U ARE

“Like a word that’s been overused a thousand times over, but is rarely true – beautiful. Violette averted her gaze. “

violette i know what you are…👁️

i normally don’t mention writing styles for translated novels because i don’t know how it flows in the original language but i will say this translator’s style just makes me miss anton hur my korean translator king we’ll see how i feel as i read further

letting myself simmer on this for the night before i review it. i will say. LEAGUES LEAGUES better than jasad heir. those last 100 pages? FUCKED ME UP!

and right after i said yeah whatever i think im like whatever abt this book she does that. i recorded a two min voice note that consisted solely of me screaming.

100 pages left ❤️ reading this at 2 in the morning with paranoid by klergy playing in my headphones is not for the weak

hope the silent study lounge im in enjoyed the ten minutes of heavy cursing that consisted of me going fuck!!!! in various pitches and tones bc she fucking did it. she finally endeared me to their romance. I LOVE A RUINOUS MAN AT THE VERY MERCY OF THE ONLY THING THAT CAN KILL HIM. blame rinezha for this! FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
