my god reading that on the train, I was holding my god damn breath ... fuckkkkkkk, let's see if I can finish this book before dinner omf

that chapter was so fucking bittersweet... but im really glad that these two are actually communicating their feelings and thoughts and willing to give this a shot knowing the fact that there is so much at risk

I'm on the train so I gotta keep it together... I just keep thinking abt that famous painting where Icarus is falling because of getting way too close ,,, and this author really is doing a great job at portraying this between Icarus and Poseidon... like ofc i want them to be together but u cant help but also understand inner monologue of Icarus and just the many internalised self loathing and conflicting thoughts...

they r about to have a juicy kink scene and im here tryna not bawl my eyeballs out .... hear me out, the context and conversation right before this moment.... fucksake... it's giving bittersweetness to its finest

the softness and vulnerability between Icarus and Poseidon makes me heart ache in the best way

Hmmm okay we r reaching near the end, and the plan of attack has only been somewhat i guess agreed on now???? Idno how this will all play out, part of me (the selfish side) wants a HEA.... BUT another part of me is lowkey craving an agonising heartbreaking angsty ending.??... we shall soon find out

my gods.. that was so heartwrenching to read.. ngl idno how this book is gonna end becsuse we dont have many pages left and I feel like we've only just reached half way plot wise. Neon Gods I also said had a pacing issue for me and so I am kinda leaning towards thst for this one too... but who knows, we shall see

Oh my fucking gods.... that kink scene was fucking everything i needed, but also page 179... the last bit... fuck... this is gonna ruin me.. im talking heartbreak , agonising...

the fucking emotional whiplash i am experiencing rn... bruh.. ngl irdk what i was expecting from this book, but relating to both Icarus and Poseidon defs wasn't on my radar... this is only my second Katee Robert book so I'm not entirely sure of her writing style, but imo she does have a really nice way of portraying complex layered emotions and really getting the reader to see stereotypical surface layer responses

Reminding myself that these two are literallt captive x captor... and NOT lovers ...
