The consul: Tessa you’re being assigned mandatory self defence lessons
Tessa: WTF I don’t want to learn how to defend myself I want to remain a damsel in distress even though i read stories of badass heroines.
Dumb hoe! “Me throwing daggers?!” Yes hoe YOUUU!!

The audiobook is abysmal but it’s how I’ve made it this far so that’s something. I also don’t know what we’ve accomplished so far like nothing has happened… what is even the plot atp?
Will looking for a demon? Jem facing eventual death? Tessa being one big question mark? Some Mortimer guy? Institute politics? Yet none of these things are fully being explored. I’m boredd!!!

Will is 17? Why did I forget about all their ages I thought they were 20, this explains the melodrama. I fear I’ve finally outgrown YA stories because this is insufferable! No wonder the boy thinks he’s in love, he talking like a grown man but they’re literally 16-17 this is ridiculous.

WHATTT??!! Will loves whooo??? He loves Tessa?!? Is this a practical joke? When did that happen exactly?!? LOVE?!? Lmao joker.
And then ok a demon cursed you?? So now he pushes everyone away? This is the most ridiculous shit ever! THIS IS HIS SAD REASON?! REALLY? THIS?!
And again LOVE?! How can they be in love at all they barely know each other. Is this book rage bait?!?

So it feels “natural, as right as breathing” for Tessa to lean into a kiss with Will and I’m supposed to believe this is a love triangle? Right…

Will breathes
Me: ergh
Because him looking for an “indifference” potion is the most dramatic ass shit. Like get a grip bro…
I can’t stand him… it’s been 5 pages. Oh boy am I gonna struggle with this but let’s see if Will can redeem himself. I’m already crying for Jem cause Tessa is gonna be a confused human being. The fact the blurb says she’s “longing” for Will.. what’s the point then?!
