The Tapestry of Fate (Amina al-Sirafi, #2)

0kittygoons commented on kittygoons's review of Butter
This book is about manipulation, what it means to be a woman, and expanding to better fit an ideal version of one's self. At the end though, this story shows that sometimes planning a meal for the next day is enough proof that life can move on from supposed ruin.
Some side notes: This book made me hungry. The food descriptions were relentless, and everything sounded so good.
The plot in this book was quite the slow burn, which I enjoyed, but is not what I expected given the description of serial killers and mystery. I think I preferred this version of the book, versus a potentially more salacious murder mystery novel.
There are so many different parts of this book that remind me why I love to cook, for myself and for others, so if that's something you enjoy as well I think you'll get a lot out of this book. But also if you've basically never cooked a meal for yourself before, this book might also be for you.
Mild spoiler in this note, so beware! I kept waiting (and hoping) for something gay to happen in this book, and it never does. This is one of the gayest books where nothing explicitly gay happens that I've read in a while.

I really enjoyed this book, and I found it to be incredibly cute, but I just couldn't commit to a full 5 stars like I normally would with a cheesey sweet romance. I thought all of the characters were so fun, and fairly well rounded, but I just couldn't get over the fact that these three lifelong besties (Astrid, Claire, and Iris) weren't capable of having an honest conversation with each other! Believe me I understand how hard it is to tell someone you hate their significant other, but the way they decide to team up with Delilah to try and sneakily get the wedding called off, rather than just having a heart to heart with Claire, came off as a bit childish. All that said, I have a serious crush on these characters, and I will be continuing the series. 💖

Okay, so - funny story! I got called into Management's office and they informed me that they're launching a Full Scale Celebration Audit, because apparently a "disturbing number" of you have received a Fever Dreams badge, but you never got your badge reward from Management... oooooooops my bad!!!!!!!
I would like to state for the record that this is not entirely my fault! This place is a literal labyrinth and I don't have the best sense of direction anyway and the flamingos asked me to join their conga line that one time and then I got distracted by the cotton candy clouds because I was hungry because the statues ate all the pizza rolls in the breakroom and... well, it doesn't matter because Management did not care about my excuses!
Good news - I found out they can't fire me! Apparently my contract was "eternally binding" and signed in "unbreakable ink"?? The gargoyles called it a "curse", but I'm pretty sure it's just job security!
Bad news - They can make my existence a living nightmare. If I fail the audit they told me I might be reassigned to lead group therapy with the infinite hallway's carnivorous plants or worse reassigned to Whimsical Filing, which is entirely run by the cosmic snails and you know how judgmental they can be!!
So, I need your help!! If you have gotten a Fever Dreams & Strange Realities badge (or leveled up your Fever Dreams badge) and DIDN'T get a comment from me about your Celebratory Reward from Management (and you want one) can you drop a comment below so I can clear up some of this backlog before the auditors arrive??
I'm not sure when the audit going to start, but there has been a very stern looking goose following me since the meeting and they keep tapping this hourglass thing and I have a feeling it has invisible sand counting down to their arrival... so whenever you see this if you wanna leave a comment, I will be eternal grateful!!
Forever (literally) your humble servant helping make all of your fever dreams come true, acidicchaos Head of Congratulatory Chaos Department Fever Dreams & Strange Realities, Inc.
