I'm still thinking about that twist. FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU (it's genius) 🫠
Gods I'm obsessed with this book, the storyline is so gross and awful.

You know this book is written by a queer person (I mean, I don't want to assume but,) because of all the divas put in there. (Also maybe because of the crazy amount of gay people I fear)

But really, pure diva characters. The "uppercity" povs are STELLAR ?? So many good lines. There's Florian the incel which I love, Elpseth the bitch, Demetrius the diva,.... Someone kill these people because they deserve it though

I might be obsessed with this ¿¡? ¿?!¿!!!

Honestly the beginning was CRAZY good but right now ? Golly goodness. This book is so freaking funny, horrendous and tender. It's 100% going to be in my top5 of this year.

Oh my god.The prose is so good, really, it's so nasty and disgusting and beautiful, poetic, sometimes almost romantic. And freaky freaky, damn.

Guy's POV or I die🤚🤚

SFF weird lit (!!!) mixing baroque, arts, biopunk vibes, perfumes and smells, body horror and INSECTS !!!. Literally.. How. AHGH.

This feels very Perdido, very Ambergris, very Morrowind, very The Tainted Cup/A Drop of Corruption.

I might cry of joy !!! It's going to be a long read because the prose is AMAZING but kinda hard to read for a non native.
