"After spending two hours with a book, and finding it more pleasurable than two years of real life, I’d remember again that life had no meaning, and sink back into despair."
i felt so seen here, it was like the character and I are the same

i do not mean that a book has something you hate, but you are reading a book and an author does something (like write in a certain way or chose a particular name etc) that gives you the ick and you are no longer into the book

Does anyone else find themselves revealing and starting to read spoilers from books you haven’t read yet/are in the process of reading without thinking? I am currently reading Frankenstein for the first time and I just found myself starting to read a spoiler post on my feed before realizing WAIT A MINUTE I HAVEN’T GOTTEN THERE YET 😭 One of these days I am going to seriously spoil myself on something huge purely because I am blinded by the feeling of “ooh I wanna see what people have to say” 🫣

This was so, so good. I could definitely appreciate this second book much more than the first, already having the understanding of the world and magic and general issues. And everything that was introduced here served the role of building up the conflicts perfectly.
The characters continue developing in a way that is so human and makes it relatable. Their relationships are far from perfect, as are their motives, but it makes for such a great read.
Love this and so excited to continue on to book 3 and know how all this ends once and for all 💚 No Peak, No Peak!!!

Been ages since I read fiction this good. Can't believe a man wrote women (and men) so well.

There is no sisterhood. How can there be, when white supremacy has done such a thorough job of setting White Womanhood apart from the rest of us? There’s a division all right, but it is not caused by us. Yes, there is much for white women still to fight for, but consider that every single obstacle to their advancement is placed there by white society, by their own people. Meanwhile, women of colour have to not only battle white patriarchy and that of their own culture, but must also contend with colonialism, neocolonialism, imperialism and other forms of racism.
White women are not like other women not because their biology makes them so, but because white supremacy has decided they are not. White women must cast aside white supremacy in all its covert as well as explicit forms , and regain the humanity they lost the moment they started to accept the fallacy that their ‘race’ makes them better than the rest of us. Only then can feminism as a truly global project aimed at bettering the lives of all women emerge, be those women white or of colour, trans or cis, not women at all but non-binary, poor or middle class, disabled, neurodivergent.
