Status Updates From The Fragile Threads of Powe...

This is giving me everything I wanted and all that I have come to expect from a V.E. Schwab book 🙌

2 things...

- when kell feels what's happening to rhy... it is a foreshadowing of the scene after he and lila close the door

- "heavy is the crown" by linkin park is the theme song for this chapter:

this is what you asked for
heavy is the crown
fire in the sunrise, ashes raining down
trying to hold it in but
it keeps bleeding out
this is what you asked for
heavy is the, heavy is the crown

the light fixture in my room is shaped like a sun. I'm an open supporter of the maresh family hehe

(the lights in the bathroom have the moon and the stars on them bc we like stars in this house)

Queen of accidentally not starting on the first book in a series

I forgot to update this yesterday....

Slow and steady win the race

there is a beautiful fan art of this moment and i think about it everyday

"he never slept, not when she was out [...] kell reached out and brushed a clump of hair behind her ear. these days, his hands were rougher, but his touch was just as light, as if she were the one who might break" 😭

Kel.... just give me a chance...

Oh no, I don't trust her. She's gonna screw up bad, I see it.

"she had so many different smiles [...] but this one he knew, not bc it was common, but bc it was rare. it was PRIDE"

"to Lila, Kell had always been a pane of glass tilted toward her just so, so that where others saw only colors and streaks, she saw the truth of it. OF HIM"

voglio morireeeeeeee

La Fragilidad de los Hilos de Paciencia: que alguien me ponga un poco de trama entre discursos... Que sí, que hay algo de trama en tu novela de monólogos de Lila... Pero ufff

He superado el 40% del libro y parece que sigo leyendo una introducción, esto no acaba de despegar. Cuando parece que el hecho que desencadenará el desarrollo del libro ha llegado, el ritmo se vuelve a detener para ofrecer largas conversaciones entre los protagonistas en las que vuelve a no pasar nada. Tengo la sensación de no avanzar. ¿Cuándo llega el desarrollo de esta historia? ¿Qué me quiere contar?

Torn between the intrigue and how the elements will shale up, and the horrible pacing OMG

chap ii of this book is my roman empire bc it's so angsty and depressing but also hopeful and you can see how much these two idiots love each other and how lila shows her love 'like a blade in the dark' and gives kell support in the language she knows best which kell is still learning. he misunderstands some of her actions as pity bc he sees himself worthless without magic, but seeing him in pain is hurting lila too

TĘSKNIŁAM ZA NIMI

free therapy with my husband and wife (lila and kell)

yay fantasy !!

gefällt mir gut soweit, bin leider nur bedingt fan von vielen rückblicken und manchmal komme ich beim worldbilding nicht ganz mit, aber charaktere sind nice

i can’t believe i’m already over 200 pages in! it feels like not much has happened tbh but i also don’t mind bc it’s been nice to get to know the new characters and catch up with the old ones. i’ve been invested so far. hopefully it picks up soon tho

i forgot how much i’m in love with delilah bard omg 🥵

Only 100pages left now! Only! Lol

OMG OMG OMG HIII

They are not riddles just because you fail to understand them.

THE GOATS HAVE RETURNED

had to watch a shades of magic recap video before starting this cause it’s been 3 years, but i’m already loving this so far. i love this world and these new characters are already awesome

Only 200 pages left! 😅 This is looong!

”Your scars are my favorite part of you. I love them all. Do you know why?”

“Because you were jealous of my looks?”

“Because they brought you back to me.”

🥹

i realllllllllly wish i had reread the 'a darker shade of magic' books first since at the moment i still can't really fully feel the excitement of being back in this world and i am so sad :(

OMG I DIDNT REALIZE SHE BROUGHT BACK THE CHARACTERS!!!!! Wow. I’m excited for this series.

This is me reading this book 🥱🫩🥱🫩🥱😮‍💨

In 14% into this book and I still don’t know what it’s about…
