I am very afraid to read this last chapter...

“I am not a promising young prince of whom great things are expected.”
“It is overrated.”

Is this going where I think it is?? Because that prophecy...

I am Telegonus of Aiaia,” he cried out, “son of a great hero, and a greater goddess."

Best part? GREATER goddess.

“It is strange to think of a goddess needing friends.”
“All creatures that are not mad need them.”

Well, for once I don't have anything to say😅.

I thought: I cannot bear this world a moment longer.
Then, child, make another.

Her transformation to motherhood is the best part of this book.

He showed me his scars, and in return he let me pretend that I had none.

I don't know what I expected?😭😖 Definitely not something happy..

This book is reminding me things that I usually try to forget😢😭

But in a solitary life, there are rare moments when another soul dips near yours, as stars once a year brush the earth. Such a constellation was he to me.

Why does Miller do this to me?😭

So this is totally unrelated but whenever I come across a mountain lion (that's the only relevant thing because it was mentioned somewhere in this book), is it weird that my first thoughts are about Ty? Ya, that did not make sense😑 but I think the 5th or 6th reread of Cut & Run is due.

I am really trying not to Google what's going to happen next because man, Circe's life sucks.😑. I really want to know that something good is going to happen.

Just so we are clear... You can't make me feel grief over the death of a character you have barely developed and I barely know. I mean that character is mentioned more after the death than before. Just get over it already!😑😑

Chapter 5

For I was like any dull ass who has ever loved someone who loved another.

Well, I guess people are the same despite the time😅😄

And here I thoughts SJM found the weirdest names. Thank God (well, not the greeks perhaps) I wasn't born when names like those of the Titans and Olympians were common😂

I know I shouldn't begin two books at the same time but.... Here we go! Hope this book is better than those last two.

I don't know if I am prepared to get played with my emotions after reading Beartown and knowing what Madeline Miller is capable of but let's do this!

BR with Joshita

Who do you start with? If the water is freezing but you know the boat won’t be able to carry everyone to the shore? Who do you sacrifice first? Who do you protect unto the last?

How can the author make me want to kill someone one page and make me sympathize with the same on the next.. He's literally playing with my emotions right now!

So... It's official, Benji is my favourite followed closely by Peter.. And that little speech just made my day🤩.

I have a question..does stopping a book prevent the bad things from happening?

I am not even going to bother finding a good line because there are at least two on each page. That moment tho😍😍.

“The only thing the sport gives us are moments. But what the hell is life, Peter, apart from moments?”

I have a really bad feeling that one has only when something very good happens and knows it won't last...

Why does anyone care about hockey?
Because it tells stories.

I swear, I'm highlighting every other line. The writing is beautiful and the third person story telling magical😍😍

I swear, I'm underlining every other line in this book. The writing is beautiful and the third person story telling is sooo good.😍

Her mom loves a man who loves a place that loves a game. This is a hockey town, and there are plenty of things you can say about those, but at least they’re predictable. You know what to expect if you live here. Day after day after day.

You know that feeling when you are just starting a book and you know, you know its going to be a 5 star?? Yep! That!!

After having a recent discussion with RebecaReads , I was following the reviews of this book.

Also, after I completed Fence, I wanted more sports books in my life. So it was either this or the third reread of AFTG . So, here we go!!!

Chapter 49

she didn’t think twice before she unleashed the monster inside herself.

This. This is what I was waiting for while trudging through that boring first book of 406 pages and 390 pages of this book, suffering through that insufferable kind-of-love-triangle and stupid choices. It did surprise me at last! I am not standing without completing this right now!!

Chapter 44

“So,” Celaena said, spitting blood onto the stones, “do you want to explain yourself first, or should I?”

Yes! Yes! Yes! Let the secrets reveal!

Chapter 39

“Because I know where everything in this room is. All the books, the papers—and the moment they start cleaning, those things get hopelessly organized and tucked away, and I can never find them again.”

😂 That's literally me when my mom tries to clean my room or asks me to do it

“Then you will always have a place here.”
I really wanted that them to be friends again.

Chapter 35

It was war upon them all. Let them tremble in fear at what they had awoken.

Celaena snapped. She snapped..

So I just read Fence: The striking Distance and I still didn't get the closure I required. So I thought of rereading my all time favorite All For The Game. But I remember someone suggesting me about the extra content on Nora's Tumblr so I'm going in there. There's a lot of content there. If someone knows something there that I must read plz suggest.. And remember to pull me out when I am sucked bcoz its a BLACK HOLE.

Chapter 23

“I’ve never been so sure of anything in my life”

It would have been cute if it hadn't been so cheesy.. And I warn you Celaena, you aren't supposed to break his heart. He literally said he'll leave everything for you...
