this was okay but i didn't like how the blessed and simon bit seemed to switch povs.

a few things:
1. living across from one another is my favourite trope and i'm enjoying all the potential window spying that can happen here.
2. every time justine meddles with the horoscopes i stress.

len being bitter and pettily changing his will so his shithead kids don't get anything is the type of boss energy i want to have.

still can't believe she's fiddling with the horoscopes lol

i didn't expect justine's meddling with the horoscope would have such a ripple effect. loving it.

next sign is the best one: GEMINI

not sure if i like tara yet. i suspect henry is going to gun for the cadetship.

i love the world of this book and now altering the horoscope for aquarius has affected people outside of justine's intended target. interested to see if we meet gary and margie again.

she really changed the horoscope! haha

these characters are an enjoyable kind of dumb.

i love the characters and love that it's in australia.

SUGAR BOWL SUGAR BOWL SUGAR BOWL

i love that everything the baudelaires do is becoming grey rather than black and white. love this exploration on morality and how to define good and bad.

i'm disappointed the touching scene between violet and sunny where sunny says violet taught her how to be creative isn't in the books.

Very Fun Discoveries were made

WE HAVE FINALLY BEEN TOLD WHAT VFD STANDS FOR!!!! 🔥 🚒

quigley is in the house y'all!

the interesting bit of this bran chapter: theon took winterfell and is interacting with reek. i am screaming at him to kill him now! frick.

catelyn doesn't feel so good at the idea they are constantly winning. GIRL THAT IS YOUR INTUITION! TYWIN IS GONNA DUST Y'ALL SOON.

it really annoys me that they bring up the assault of lollys and george doesn't think to add in the narrative that assault is multilayered and this girl not feeling safe to leave her bedchambers is much more complex than "well, at least shae has an excuse to be safe and closer to tyrion!"

i did like the varys backstory though.

the people around jon snow are more interesting than jon snow

melisandre just gave birth to a shadow. wtf.

joffrey is a shit. i forgot i liked sandor/sansa ... and of course there's mention of rape in this chapter — just one line, though! like that makes it any better. 🙄

ser jorah telling dany she is a stranger to the people of westeros and that she needs to start winning them over from afar is what i wanted for her storyline.

i feel sad for cat when she receives ned's bones.

i love how in arya's chapter we need to know gendry is shirtless and sweaty 👅 💦

... yeah, i get that this is trying to base itself in real medieval times, but if dragons and resurrected men can exist, why can't rape be non existent?

5 years later and a shitty season 8, i've picked up this book again and am determined to finish!

the woman with hair but no beard and the man with a beard but no hair!!!!

i'm so tired that lemony's letter to kit at the end of the chapter confused me and made me think my book was printed incorrectly 😂
