I refused to fall for the hype when this first trended but dammit does it deserve it. I’ll forever remember the “oh” I let out once I realized what was happening

I find it so funny how it took half the book for Cyrus and Bastian to meet.

Fun time. I loved the times Batman was drawn like a shadow.

I never thought I’d see the day where a book co-written with Brandon Sanderson would be a huge miss for me. I don’t know much about metal music, so I was really looking forward to learning more about it plus the fact that it’s an urban fantasy (a sub genre I adore) but unfortunately nothing worked for me. I didn’t care about Jack (or any other characters really) and I didn’t care about the plot. It took me so long to get through this and I think a lot of that had to do with Peter Orullian’s writing (I reread the first chapters thrice trying to figure out all the lore that was dropped) I had hoped to finish this before its official release date but as you can see, I could not.

I’m so glad this didn’t end like volume one because I would have been inconsolable until volume four. This series and making me cry in the middle of the night😭

❝Fidelitatis Et Perseverantiae❞

Kings, queens, politicians, religious leaders, business moguls; these are powerful people in the history of the world and in the background, hovering over their left shoulders in the shadows, are the Enderboughs. A family that can trace its lineage to the earliest of humanity, whose traditions are older than some countries’ independence and who every 40 years hosts a family reunion. Strictly family is invited to this reunion—no partners who married in and definitely no dating prospects—but Ross Enderbough who fled to America to live away from his family’s influence, forced to make the trip, brings his girlfriend Elena. Elena, who knows that her boyfriend comes from ‘old money’ but has no idea that everything she believed about that term will be changed once she steps into the family mansion, Enderby.

There’s always that one novella that completely captures me. In Terrible Worlds: Revolutions, it was Ogres and depending on the third novella Tchaikovsky releases in this Terrible Worlds: Transformations series, ‘Preaching To The Choir’ might be that one novella for me. While ‘Saturation Point’ reminded me of Annihilation, this reminds me of ‘‘Ready or Not’ and I was completely entranced. I read this in one sitting. Adrian Tchaikovsky did it again.

Also referring to an American as “baggage back from the Colonies.” had no right to make me laugh as hard as it did.
