Kindle Notes & Highlights
A whack with a shovel would not be enough for them. They needed to be hit by a car.
Everyone in this book needs to get hit by a car
“My name is not Karen,” he spat with vitriol, like I’d gravely insulted him. “It’s pronounced Ch-ar-on.” I narrowed my eyes. “Okay, but it’s spelled with a K.”
This bit is so stupid bc she heard his name spoken aloud. Did the author forget these aren’t people aren’t just words on a page
Nyx hissed. “He’s driven and relentless—he’s not one of those sissy boys today who don’t even know how to kill.”
Honestly in character for the murderous snake to say. I can’t be mad
He’d probably kill people, then gift his lover chopped-up body parts.
This feels like foreshadowing. Is this another haunting adeline
I shuffled discreetly away from Achilles. He shifted closer.
This book has such juvenile humor. That being said, this bit almost made me feel amusement which pisses me off
There was something heartbreaking about the two of them. Something impossibly intimate. Patro gazed up at Achilles with adoration.
This still feels fetishy and homophobic idc. The author is still ruining them
Little did I know that statement would come to haunt me. In ways I couldn’t even begin to fathom.
*jasmine mas voice* this is how you do foreshadowing, right?
Hours of lectures had melted my brain.
Exactly. Their schooling system is so un-conductive to actual learning but whatever. The point is for it to be ridiculously terrible, not make any sense.
A paradise in the middle of hell. Smiling, feeling like Eve,
I must once again point out the use of a Christian figure and complain about the world building (which is a very strong word for what’s happening in this book). Don’t mind me
This place can really make you—” he rolled his finger next to his ear “—lose it.”
This book is making me lose it
crace (crotch, then face),
IT WASNT FUNNY THE FIRST TIME
Why does everyone assume I know things?
God forbid we have a somewhat capable protagonist
Unmerciful.
Unmerciful sounds weird. I know it’s a word but also why not just say merciless
“You are a woman in a man’s world. It’s a dishonor on all of us for allowing this to continue.
And he’s a love interest…actually idk why I’m surprised, misogynistic love interests are par for the course and he’s just saying the quiet part out loud
unmercifully.
Again…why not mercilessly
“Are you eating enough? Why are you so skinny? My stock are usually built strong and wide, not so—” “Tall?” I offered as he said, “Wimpy.”
She’s just sooo skinny. Lucky her, that her horrible upbringing made her skinny and hot
Give me all the tea.”
Give me the tea?? Said by the fantasy animal sidekick in the fantasy book??
their bodies were sculpted curves that only a master artist could imagine.
Nah I bet a furry porn artist could imagine that
The boys hastily pulled off their togas as the two creatures licked and sucked at their exposed skin. I quickly looked away.
I still do not know how she feels/what she knows about sex
buy bleach and drink it.
Oh so bleach still exists but not criminal prosecution, which predates bleach. Right
Grey Hampsmire liked this
“You’re too innocent for this.”
Is she?? I thought she wrote fanfiction of mathematicians
“Kid—you keep flinching every time you see a penis.” “Well,” I said. “Have you seen them? They’re horrifying.”
Honey I think you might be a lesbian
The trio on the floor stood up, naked bits on full display, and then began aggressively doing it against a wooden pillar less than a foot away.
This is honest to god written like My Immortal
(free the nips and lips)
I just started reading again. This is too soon
If she says “engorged” ever again, I will kill us both.
*nyx voice* ENGORGED
I had no clue what she meant. Maybe sirens are just really into music?
Once again, do you know what sex is or not
“Did you tell them about your Emmy and Carl fanfic? I told you it makes you weird and unlikable.” She doesn’t understand mathematicians like I do.
No I think nyx is right about this one
“Want to do Spartan drugs?”
This is KILLING me. “want to do spartan drugs?” What on god’s earth
He leaned close, dark eyes feral. “I’m taking control—Alexis,” he said silkily.
This man is a walking ick
Yep—ambrosia was 100 percent a drug. There was no way I’d think that in a sober state of mind.
Honey you talked about him being hot before
Warm lips brushed against the shell of my ear. “You have no idea just what you’ve done with your little display. What you’ve started...”
She took her arms out of sleeves btw. Oh no, a woman’s bare arm
I blinked up at my professor—the man who hated me—in horror.
This is sooo forced
What the freak
What the freak
“No—you just think you do,” Nyx hissed. “What you want is a real man who wants to slaughter for you.”
No alexis, you want a morally gray bad boy. This is enemies to lovers. Villain gets the girl. You forget your genre
I’d never admit it to the other initiates, because they complained about the class constantly, but I really enjoyed how complicated the Thagorean equations were.
She’s not like other girls
There were four objects on top of wadded-up black tissue paper: two eyeballs covered in red veins, a smashed nose, and a severed male finger with chunky gold rings. Blood was splattered across all of them. The eyes were pastel. The rings had the symbol of the spirit of sirens on them. It was Oron—parts of him.
What in the Haunting Adeline
I loosened my diamond-encrusted belt to release the pressure in my pants.
While he’s playing piano? Impressive
Fluck the flucking world. Life’s a biatch like that. Yes, I was in my emo era.
Writing like this should be punishable by jail time
The key was def killing myself before I had to go back.
Do it then. You’ve made enough comments about it
“Freak, fluck, biatch, crud, darn, flippin’, shrit,” I wailed despondently, but my eyes were bone-dry because emo girls didn’t cry (I’d cried yesterday).
This book is such a tough read because of the sheer level of cringe
Carl can suck on my...stuff.
I keep having to take breaks while reading so I can roll my eyes
Cassius yelled loudly
Yelled loudly
He looks possessed. No. He is the thing that possesses people.
I bet this goes so hard if you’re 14
Alexis almost died on that mountain. A Titan almost tore her to shreds. We almost lost her. Forever.
Their feelings (?) developed out of nowhere
like nightshade.
Cool thank you. Another thing to remind me of alex aster
semicatatonic
Oo that’s a big word. Did not expect to see it in this book
Manic laughter trickled from my lips, but it wasn’t funny. Nothing was.
Kind of like all of the jokes you keep making
Augustus’s knee wedged between my legs and forced them apart as his heavy weight leaned into me and pinned me harder against the rocky wall.
Awesome, sexual assault
God, is this because of that one M-rated Carl Gauss fanfic I wrote?
Alexis is lowkey giving “born sexy yesterday” vibes but then it’s completely contradicted by stuff like this. I think jasmine mas just can’t write
“Nota res mala, optima.” An evil thing known is best.
Jasmine was going CRAZY with google translate
