“My friends are with me and I am not afraid” 💚

I AM BOO HOO CRYING, a dagger to my heart 😭 I don’t think a fantasy book has ever made me cry like this. I will be finishing this book tonight

By page 400, I finally freaking grasped the CC map and the hierarchy within.

Syrinx, Lehabah, the messenger otters 💚

Sabine👎🏻

I’ve had so many questions about the Horn relic, the kristallos, the synth- there were so many back & forth theories. But NOW… at page 600!!! It’s juicy!! And it all makes sense.


The turning point rn is crazy!!! Danika 😱 Hunt 😱 I gasp !!!

I’m starting to like the characters more. Hunt is my favorite 💚 I also want to live in Bryce’s apartment. SJM has a beautiful way of world building and setting the scene. I can see everything I’m reading, which is making this book more enjoyable.

Idk how to feel about this one… if it wasn’t SJM, I would’ve DNF already.

First of all, the audiobook is atrocious. I wanted to read the book anyway, so alas.

Second, I despise when fantasy embodies real-life behaviors- like cursing, drugs, etc.

Third, I HATEEEEE when there are 12,000 names and idk wtf they are!! Characters, houses, gods, towns, creatures. I’m only on page 68 and I’m frustrated 😩
