Folklore? Midnight? Are all the colleges going with Midwinter ball themes that are also TS albums? XD

literally flying through this lol—so happy to be back

“It’s not a fault, to be in pain. It’s braver to hurt than to feel nothing at all.”

“Nothing is ever lost, only changed, and grief is no more than the knowledge that a wilted flower cannot be made again to bloom.”

“We have to find our solace in dreams.” “If only it were possible, to shelter in dreams forever. But we have to live.”

p.248 update
ok we are going somewhere, preston is losing his sense of self and reality is slipping away while effie is chasing the dream world and trying to escape reality
interesting i like where this is going but this could’ve happened way earlier

p196 update
i can not anymore with the miscommunication. they had so much more chemistry in the first book and i just dont yet see the point of this book.

“Once my father hears about this..” LMFAO pipe down big man. Who are you, Draco Malfoy?

The most reading I’ve done for myself in weeks (thanks uni) and I missed it so much

Not the “no communication” trope! I get why the characters are doing it so I guess it’s fine but ugh it’s so frustrating to read.

I honestly don’t feel like a sequel was needed and it’s not adding anything to the story right now but maybe my thoughts will change later

i only remember flashes from the first book but i do remember how i was giggling over the romance so i know im clocking in for a fun time 🫡

Okay, why am I getting invested in Andor, now?

Students sneaking into the roof of the old astronomy building, is kinda giving students sneaking up to the astronomy tower in practically every Hogwarts fic I have ever read lol

This is a slog so far. I'm so disappointed because I really enjoyed the first book. This is ruining the main FMC from the first book.

this is so depressing lol i can see why people didn’t like it as much

I kind of hate this.

At this point, I’m just reading for the plot because these characters are making me want to bash my head against the wall 🙂

my babies 😭

بریم برای چپتر 5
فقط بگم من رفتم اخرشو خوندم و واقعا از لحاظ احساسی و روانشناسی(چطوری بگم؟مثلا بررسی کاراکترا از لحاظ روانشناسی منظورمه. مثلا به تصویر کشیدن تروما و افسردگی و یا سبک دلبستگی اجتنابی) وزنشو حس کردم
قلبم فشرده شد ولی زیبا بود

“So you can speak like a poet after all.” “Only for you.”

“She had been ruined long before he had ever laid eyes on her. How could she have so cruelly beguiled him into loving such a fickle and broken creature?”

“The great beauty and the great stillness of her form deserved worship, devotion.”

"I plan to perform a ritual" - oh thats never good

So far really enjoying this :)

“Love poems never seemed to include this thread of terror.”

Dual POV hell yeah, also this man is literally having dreams of her as a statue and he’s deadass on his knees for her??? I love him

Fantastic

So far I'm really liking this. It's covering the struggles Effie and Preston are facing after the events of ASID. Shows the realistic side of the story, that they don't magically have a better time at their school.

I would have loved to read more today, but it was my first day back in classes, and I'm tired

I can still dream. This is a power that no man, no mortal force, can take from me. While the sickness hurts my body, it has left my mind untouched.

"Every time I leave her—even sometimes when I'm staring right at her—I'm so afraid that I'll lose her."
"That may be what it means," his father said, "to love."
