    “He shrieked and twitched as Kaz yanked out his eyeball,”

    This shit is NOT YA 😭

    It makes me so mad when publishers demand authors make their books YA… Six of Crows feels a lot more adult and the only “YA” thing about it is that the characters are 17. Which they’re really not written as, they feel more adult. I imagine Kaz and the Dregs to at least be in their mid-late twenties at minimum.

    Normalize letting adult books be popular fiction as well, not everything has to be YA. 🫠

    Keep forgetting to update my progress on this.

    Even though I’m starting to like Rowan a lot more, I’m still heartbroken over Chaol 💔 I loved them together so much.

    Why is there so much tension between Aelin and Aedion 😭

    Thoughts from 2% - School Size

    okay so this is a minor thing but is it weird to anyone else that a high school with only 358 students has multiple buildings (at least 6??).

    i had a slightly bigger high school (at most 400 students), and my school literally was one entire building that included every single grade (from K-12). there was a wing that consisted of maybe 4-5 halls dedicated for the high school. but Forks has this huge campus apparently?

    WHY IS EVERYONE ALWAYS 17.

    I can’t help but to imagine the characters how they are in the show so Kaz being 17 is crazy 😭

    I ship Kaz and Inej so much 😔✊ I love their tension and love/hate for each other

    Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

    I actually DNF’d at page 29. Sorry but even for YA, I don’t expect to read about 17 year olds being bullied in that manner. It immediately took me out of the story. Ironically, I can accept faeries having deer legs but fae royalty resorting to kicking dirt at someone’s lunch like a petty child? Eye roll x10000

    Knowing that this same guy was going to be the love interest gave me the ick. I love an antihero or an angsty character as much as the next person but a downright bully???? There’s Enemies-To-Lovers and then there’s this shit
