    ok yeah this slaps as a physical book, reading the audiobook was almost too slow physically for the pace I wanted to be reading this book

    oh this short story is just as delicious as I remember and such a good grounding for the everlasting - passions include characters being doomed by their own narrative

    I bought a physical copy of this yesterday as I really was struggling to connect to the characters in the audiobook! I think the concept of it is so cool so I am hoping this gets me more immersed

    I want to a) feel something and b) see how this compares to the everlasting as I was undone by this short story on my first read

    I’m not sure if this is an audiobook issue, but I am really struggling to differentiate between the two main character voices, and honestly their characterisation itself. The plot and lore of the story is very cool so far but all the characters are falling a little flat for me so far

    Is this rating biased? Yes. Is it because I’ve been waiting for this book for 3 years since I read the six deaths of the saint and instantly thought I need this to be longer? Also yes. I physically feel unwell after reading the ending of this book, like Alix E Harrow has a way with endings and making your feral sobbing turn into tears of happiness. So many of the time travel aspects made me think of doctor who (good seasons) and one of my fave short story collections Someone In Time - like do you need to understand the mechanisms behind it? NO lean into the whimsy cowards. I loved the shifting POV types of texts incorporated in and illustrations, I loved the repetition and the circling back and the plays on words and their warping ugh absolutely delicious, no notes

    I think my favorite book from Alix Harrow so far??????? You can really tell how important it was for her to tell this story in every line. Completely invested from start to finish and such a good audiobook experience too. The last hour had me WEEPING! and for the fellow locked tomb fans out there, this was the most Palamedes Sextus book I’ve ever read so do what you will with that information.

    there’s something just so so good about a book with a weird narration style - second-ish person? Go on

    my partner ordered me a bloody stunning copy of this book from the UK (I live in Aus) so I didn’t have to wait till it came out here as I have been waiting for this book since I read the six deaths of the saint years ago and that’s on everlasting romance kids
