    I just have a distinct lack of patience with books that insist on telling instead of showing. There’s a snippet “I could tell he was irritated with the interruption, the way the muscles in his face kind of hardened, but he answered it immediately nonetheless.” This is dialogue between two characters. Had it been a thought from one of them instead I might have gotten past it but no, it was said out loud after the writing had clearly shown the character in question already being irritated. Maybe I’m just getting pickier but if you’re doing that 7% of the way in I don’t have much faith in the rest of the book.

    This book was silly, fun, and all things wonderful. Finding out there has been no second book and this was published in 2020 has absolutely ruined my day. It ended satisfyingly enough but I definitely want this to be a duology.

  • 🗡️ Is He Morally Gray, or Just Hot?

    Let’s talk about the epidemic.

    At what point did "morally gray" become: A. War crimes, but make it romantic B. Emotional unavailability with good cheekbones C. “I’d burn the world for you” (sir, why is your world so flammable?) We eat it up every time.

    Discussion fuel: If your fave morally gray man were described as “medium height accountant with a receding hairline,” would he still be complex?

    Do we forgive violence faster when it’s aesthetic?

    Are fantasy readers more comfortable with authoritarian love interests because the world-building distances the harm?

    Thoughts from 45% (page 239)

    I don’t think there is a single character in this book that I dislike. Even our resident bad guy Morien just makes me want to know more about him. Both of our silver fae families are great, Rags is such a lovable character, and what in the world is up with lord Foalan. I feel like he’s secretly heading the resistance or something.
