I'm 100 pages from the end and I'm scared

Lotto you are the realest

"It's just another outdated tradition. And now it's being trotted out as a morale-boosting exercise, which really just means a crude display of nationalism and xenophobia."
"That's all the more reason to go," Lotto said. He stood up straighter, letting his arm slip from Preston's shoulder, and adopted a more solemn tone. "They win if you just hide yourself away. Southey and his lackeys. That self-important cu—"

So much is happening and I am freaking out. The Book From His Mom.

Oh. No. I have a really bad feeling.

All of chapter 8 has cooked me excuse me as I sob to death

oooooh, maybe he isn't dumb after all. This is going to be messy buuuuuut I am not convinced

Good lord this boy is very very stupid

Oh she's so sick, I love her

HELL YES BB
FOLLOW THOSE INSTINCTS UNTIL YOU KNOW HIM.

okay Rose is great, I love her using her brain and no bb girl you are not being cynical, you are accurately going. "Uh... wait I do not actually know this person, maybe I shouldn't just like fall down the crush rabbit hole especially since I'm new."

CH 10

No baby, you are right. It's weird. Follow those New Yorker instincts.

Chapter 9
I told you. CULT. Or well it is SOMETHING

oh girl no. This is a cult. Run. "Party on the Summer Solstice" I SEE YOU.

oh please don't be "I'm not like other girls" not if you're already doing decent rep for us

Also, man I guess I have to be a little forgiving on the comparisons from the burbs to NYC. Like *I* know these things, but I forget there are not a lot of walking cities around, and this is setting up her whole background. Basically, I am picky on New Yorker rep so you will see a lot of whiplash from me

Ch 4
"Why are you walking so fast?"
"Why are you walking so slow?" Why was everyone walking so slow?

^^ most accurate to a New Yorker observation I've read since Percy Jackson.

THAT’S RIGHT ALIE. TAKE NO PRISONERS.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Oh very Aeduan, pls. Pls be a “why choose.” Pleeeeease

Woof. Poor guy, but I do like he’s more like how he was. I mean it wasn’t his fault but god damn I’m glad he’s back

OH this is a Why Choose? Okay, I'm down with that

ALIE YOU GOD TIER FRIEND

Okay I feel bad for Bastian again. I'm glad. I love him as a character and this feels good having him angsty and back

Alie is the realest 😭

Uh…

Uhhhhhh… I guess maybe it’s because I’m on team Gabe but this seems very superficial.

Ch 6

Am I the crazy one? I just don’t really see the chemistry between Lore and Bastian? Like even in book one. Was she attracted sure but it wasn’t the same as it was with Gabe. And the divide seems even bigger now

Atmospheric and pretty devastating like you know that feeling when you want something to have a happy ending but you know it probably doesn’t
:,D

““But all was not lost, when the city of Ys sank beneath the waves,” his father read, his voice a low rumble. “Under the sea, mermaids pray in the cathedral. Under the sea, fire burns green.” Preston exhaled softly. It was the only sound in the room.
And then the bells began to ring.”
