Yeah, they probably didn’t say ‘sicced’ in the 11th century, and now I want to confirm when ceramic mugs came into existence. Also, “live a little”? “Angst”? “You don’t say”?

I just read about Lugh and it’s August 2nd—one day after Lughnasadh: his Harvest celebration. If that’s not a synchronicity. Also, last month I read “The Wren in the Holly Library” which also mentioned the Tuatha Dé Danann. I like it when things like that happen for me.

Now story-wise, the writing is good and story is intriguing, but I don’t like the modernisims. Ugh. 😒

*spoiler alert*
Ohhhhhhh, we have an unknown male making an appearance at the wee hours of the morning looking disheveled, and the estranged husband is miffed to the great delight of the wife.

*END OF SPOILER*

I am kicking with glee. 😁

This is getting better and better.

I am enjoying the author’s exploration so far of the concept of “the beast within” and being lovable as a whole, including your darkness. As well as, how you begin to see yourself when you grow up seeing your reflection in the eyes of others look a certain way.

I love the writing so far, but I am beginning to notice a little modernisms creeping in.

Did they have “purging… from your system” in 1006? And “live a little”? And “endgame”? And “western world”?

*Spoiler alert*

😆 Inflicting period pains on men as diversionary tactics in war… genius. *chef’s kiss*

Uh-huh. Chapter seven. The banter is *chef’s kiss*.

OK. So I’m getting Beauty and the Beast vibes—which was already announced in the synopsis, if I remember correctly. But also… potential *spoiler alert* Sleeping Beauty—the curse as birth part, and Snow White—the colors and beauty of the baby.

It also has a pretty decent dose so far of Irish folklore. Love it. 😍

*spoiler alert*

The badass beast of the FMC is so delicious. I was grinning as I was reading her beast form.

Also, I am reading a physical copy and listening to the audiobook at the same time. Would recommend. Especially for the pronunciations.

Even better. It’s enemies-to-lovers-to-enemies-to possible lovers. Aaaahhh. This makes me happy.

Also, page 69. Nice. 😁 (Yes, I have the humor of a middle schooler).
