EU ODEIO A LETITIA

the book. And especially now that they are all together with Hermes, I just love it. I think it really is this year’s all time favorite for me, and it can actually be my favorite book ever.

A lot has happened. I was scared that I would only like the book while they were all friends and thriving. Even though I didn’t absolutely love the Canton chapters, I loved how they put their years of friendship and camaraderie in front of everything to help Robin in the end. Of course, Robin had done that for V and R before so it was the least. But, even in the eye of the hurricane, I kept getting more in love w/

I’m sad they fought. I loved their friendship.I’m also confused by Ramy’s point of view. They are outcasters. R and V couldn’t succeed in British Society as Robin could, which means Ro was being extremely negligent with his friends’ conditions in Babel and in England by leaving Hermes society.As much as I was scared for him, he should have stayed.Not only for him, but for the others.Though I need to think+

This page had one of the most beautiful paragraphs I have ever read. I feel deeply connected with the characters, especially regarding their student lives and relationships with each other in the midst of it. I also understand why Robin quit Hermes, it would scare me as well. But I do feel they might be doing the right thing historically, so,even amidst fright, I think he should and will come back.The book is lovely

Utterly stunning. R.F.Kuang’s writing is simply beautiful and involving. I loved Robin’s relationship with his peers so far, although I know it won’t last for long. Moreover, as a reluctant person, I would be terrified to do what he’s just done. Pairing up with Griffin in his quest to steal silver would be too risky for me. Whereas, I understand why he’s done it and admire it, while being scared for him.

Até agora, lindo.
