One of my *personal pet peeves* within books/movies is the VILLAN MONOLOGUE WHERE THEY EXPLAIN THEIR EVERY MOVE AND MOTIVE!! This simply would not ever happen irl. They’d go kill the good guys, they’d keep it on the DL idk but you’d simply have to be the most stupid idiotic villain of all time to take several pages worth of time to explain your evil plan and motivations to the good guys

Notice I’m updating at 2am. Sooooo fire so good-sick twisted irony that she lowkey crafted the ceramic manacle experience? Cruel but in a terribly satisfying way. A great book to be on social lockdown with

tbh if I hadn’t have read manacled I don’t know if I could get thru this bc #traumaread but I was fighting to get to the flashbacks and I have successfully reached the first of them bless up! This book is emotionally taxing

Anyone who knows me should know I do like zombies and this is kinda giving zombie without the whole infection factor kinda fun kinda like it. Having hard time following the magic system and I keep missing details but that could be cuz I had a nicotine patch on yesterday which effectively kills my focus and attention to detail
