Essiya. I do not care that this annoyance is finally admitting to his bullshit, you absolutely can kill him. Just out of spite. Better yet, you and Diya can take turns.

Ch 41.

Oh. Shit.

God “I have writer’s block and anxiety” bro you did not have to come for all of us with that one 😔😭

This is so touching. I’m really happy I got approved for this one on NetG. My tweenage self would have devoured this at rapid speed. The characters are lovely and it touched on some real world struggles. I’m looking forward to seeing how this wraps up but yeah right now it’s on track for a 4 bare minimum.

Sylvia, Treat yourself. Just kill him.

Oh I did not like that foreshadowing at all. My boy’s gonna die, isn’t he?

Ahh! I just hit chapter 26 and the almost inaudible (very unhinged) noise I made is both hilarious and horrifying.

Also ignore the weird percentage and page differences the NetGalley pagination is different

And why did I pull out death for Marek? Because he is my favorite and my track record for my favorites dying is... what can I say I'm curse

; n ;

(STILL BETTER THAN BEING XANDER THO)

Actually, the pacing issues on the third person perspective chapters are really good. And even Sylvia's 1st person chapters have improved a lot since those first beginning chapters. On track to being at least 3.75 if not a 4.

Unless Marek becomes Xander (Buffy ref). Please, even if he's killed--which will rip out my heart and set it on fire--I would still prefer that to him becoming Xander.

HAHAHAHA. No Sylvia, you absolutely have every right to laugh and you SHOULD.

I actually think this is a lot stronger than the first book. I'm excited to see what happens next but my brain is mush so I'm pausing for now

She should have stuck with third person perspective… the pacing is so much better and I’m getting way less whiplash.

Jeru is the realest.

Is it bad that I kinda... like all the side characters more than the mains?

ch 12 "He leaned back on his haunches staring unseeingly at the gate. He hadn't left Sefa's side since they were twelve years old, and now Sefa was out there alone.Marek wanted to ram himself against the gates until either they broke, or he did."

; _ ; please do not change this boy

ch 11
it's kinda weird having chapters in first person perspective and third... I think if Hashem just stick with third person it would read a little cleaner

"But it was Sefa's heart that told her to pack a bagand flee Nizahl with the golden-haired rich boy who'd inexplicably stayed by her side since they were children."

Please don't ruin this... Marek is like Kilorn he is not bitch boy Xander. Please...

"But sometimes, in dark moments like these,Sefa couldn't help but wonderi if Marek's acceptance came too readily. If he only gorgave the rejection because her heart and body would never belong to *anyone,* so he wouldn't have to witness someone succeed where he had failed."

Thanks. As a Demi girl especially, I hate it.

I stg if Marek becomes a "Xander" I will fucking rage.

ch 7 hmmm ngl the pacing issues are still kind of here. The whiplash is crazy

oh no
"Aren't you going to let me in?"
>;3

Bjorn's stepdad suuuuuuucks. Baby boy is in the bad dads club 2 times over

yeah I'm a traitor to the sisterhood, I uh I'm with baby boy. Misguided he may be, but uh NOPE. I am a member of the bad dad's club, so I'm siding with my fellow brethren.

girl. He's clearly torn about this.

yeah lmao saw this from 3000 miles away
