I think no is a good stopping point so I don’t get so freaked out I can’t sleep 😅 the concept of territory and cleaning is very interesting, I feel like it’s barely used apart from vampires. Curious to see where this goes because despite having to reread sentences frequently (due to the vague, airy nature that fits the book), the cannibalism, and the gore I am really enjoying this book

Interesting…elemental magic. Can the mysterious beings control air as well if she manipulate Fire and Water? Or is her falling through the ground control over air or earth so she hasn’t an affinity for 3 or even all 4?

Finally back in a headspace where I can read and I forgot how much I was enjoying this book

What on earth is going on?? I don’t ask this in a bad way, this is the first time I have felt genuinely, completely stumped by a book. I feel consumed by this books unique brand of madness and I love it (even though I am scared at the same time. Seriously a bad idea to read it late at night, so creepy)

Reading this book at night is a bad idea.

“ they are not natural. They are not people in costume, or people at all. Phosyne knows that with a Gowling certainty that makes her head spin…”

Horrifying, unsettling, weird, captivating and so much more…but somehow none of that is in a bad way. I am really enjoying this book and how the authors way with words makes you feel everything. So many questions I cannot wait to get answers to (like what is up with that mysterious light? Is it some otherworldly thing that summoned creatures masquerading as the saints?)

I feel so claustrophobic right now

Not the dogs 😭😭🥹
