    Alice describing the Weaver made me think of that “Now Kiss” meme and I can’t stop laughing

    Such a small thing, but Peter being known as a flake just made him so unattractive 😬

    Ugh I wanted this book to be so good so bad, but it is just not sticking with me? I think my reading taste has changed so much since the first book that I don't know if it is worth finishing. Any thoughts? I am about halfway through!

    Things I liked: Chapters with Orkideh, these conversations she had with Cyrus actually felt meaningful and thought-provoking. I also liked her sass into questioning Cyrus’s views around death Some good writing in some parts, pretty prose History/culture lessons - I found learning about these real life events and how governments would utilize tragedies as propaganda very interesting. His uncles military role was also something I have never heard of.

    Things I appreciated but missed the mark: -alternating POVs. Honestly hopping from Cyrus to his mom/uncle/dad and then the random dream sequences felt very disjointed. Especially the dream conversations, they never left me feeling like I gained anything from those chapters -overall messaging of martyrs. This is more just a personal belief but I’m very much of the type that death doesn’t have to be meaningful. I also don’t think life needs to be. Life is what happens when youre busy making other plans. So because this was a HUGE premise of the book, it just doesn’t sit with me of having any inherent value.

    Things I disliked: Cyrus 🫣
