Okay who do I need to fight for telling Tasha Suri this couldn’t be two books? This clearly wants to be two books. Even the chapter opening notes are in a different format. And then we could have had more detail before the start of the first plot, and Hari could get a whole beauty and the beast side plot with /you know who/ I love everything I’m reading but there is so much plot! (too much plot for one book). Seriously who do I need to fist fight?

“Alice wondered if anyone ever called him Theo. He looked so much like a Theo. A lisp of a name for a wisp of a boy.”
Okay Kuang, now it’s personal 😡

First Kuang book to not leave me raging at the injustice in the world. Oh there are some insightful stabs at the unfairness of academia, and the cruelty of humanity. But for once the ending was more a sigh of relief than an exclamation of stifled anger. Probably could have cut the entire section on Dis though and lost nothing from the overall story. Literally the only down point in the book. Alice Law, may you live averagely and continue to be annoying and stubborn and selfish and wonderful. Elspeth, I wish you were real so you could be my wife. I would give you antidepressants and stare adoringly at you for hours. Really quite a lovely book, had me laughing and puzzling and thinking all the way through.

I'm fascinated by astrology and the concept of the "Big Three" in a chart. I started thinking about it in the context of my reading experience and was curious what others would say!

I spend every moment I’m reading this thanking the gods I didn’t go to Cambridge for university and instead went to a creative uni where the professors were reasonable human beings who knew academic success wasn’t the only thing worth pursuing in life
