30 F. ♥️ I primarily enjoy romantasy. My reviews and notes may come off a little harsh, but I try to be fair. 🎧 Means audiobook, 📱 is ebook, 📙 is physical. ✨ Vibe reader; TBR Jar is just for show ✨

    "BRICK BY BRICK"

    (the book is referencing rebuilding lives, towns, and homes after a major destruction)

    🤣 Of all the times for me to catch a simple saying used in a book, this would be the one.

    (I am by no means saying this book or author are linked to the whole lego scandal happening at the time of listening to this audiobook. The phrase just holds new meaning to me at this point in time.)

    The use of modern sayings and actions (thick thighs save lives, resting bitch face, miming blowjobs, etc) is interesting, but it's not bad. It's far better than when a fantasy book uses modern slang, and I'd argue that none of these instances of modern girl talk, innuendos, insults and sayings are out of place here.

    I am loving how descriptive this is.

    Aster's overuse of "I blinked" and any additional forms of it's usage through this book is egregious.
