Chaol in this book has just made the decision of the tandem read for me. As much as I like a cliff hanger, I can't handle a whole book of him... Just being him, I've never wanted to reach into a book and slap someone so badly in my life 😂

The second book is so good??? We got an enemy to lovers, fake dating/mariage, actually well written fights, she liked him first but he felt 10 times harder etc and the plots .???? the story omgggg nooo im a fan

Okay so in my last post someone suggested listening to the audiobook instead of reading it physically and its absolutely made a difference for me! I think if I didn’t make the switch I would have DNF’d this book I’m ngl 😅

I thought I'd struggle with this but I've actually gotten into it now. The chapters are really short which I love and it goes back and forth between the past and the present which keeps me interested.

Reading some of the these ya books makes me wonder if i’ve grown out of ya or if this particular clump of books i’ve been reading are just miserable. the characters here are…annoying? they feel pretty 2-d and performative. details that would usually be fun and quirky or endearing are just annoying me. specifically one thing that has really annoyed me is all the drop ins about the different causes the MC plus friends and family root for. Like are these amazing causes? absolutely. but they don’t really add anything to the story other than knowing she cares about that stuff. like saying she was going to the march with her friend and was disappointed that she couldn’t has conveyed enough to me about who she is as a person without adding these other drop ins. i don’t know maybe im just weird and annoying.

NK Jemisin is the ONLY author who is allowed to write in second person

Literally can’t enjoy anything, just waiting for the other shoe to drop 😭
