!!!!!!!!

😳👀👁️👄👁️🥺🥲💔

Watcha mean I have to go to work? >:(
(Yes, the spam updates are over for now)

I feel so stupid, for so many pages I was considering this cozy-ish high fantasy??
Where??

EW NO
That was too much 🥲
I know he's gonna kill you but leave the poor boar alone

I'm so angry 🤡
I was so naive 🤡🤡

Gripping, trully, the atmosphere is perfect for this season and there are so many layers to this mystery you just don't want to put the book down.
However, the fatphobia is omnipresent and just so vile and dehumanising.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
IT'S TOO EARLY FOR THIS

Please protect them

Tell me Stuart, was violent fatphobia really what this book was missing? :)

👌👌👌

Almost 1/5 of the book down and I still haven't reached the events and conclusions mentioned by the summary :) Like, is it that hard not to reveal half of the book while trying to sell it? Especially when it's a mysterious murder mystery 😭

Is this, the cluedo fanfiction I've been dreaming of without even knowing it? 😳

The way I just froze haha
Honestly, the atmosphere is delightfully spooky

Badly written? Badly translated? Who knows.
I do fucking know that there are few things I hate most while reading in french than l'inversion d'un verbe du premier groupe avec le sujet c'est moche putain, personne parle comme ça là "hurlé-je", "crié-je", non mais ça suffit le pov "tu lis la première fanfic de Maximilien qui essaye de faire des effets de style moches ses morts"

OMG THERE'S A CLUE MAP !! I LOVE CLUUUUE

Corgis, cool magic, the bittersweet bond between Mer and Renfrew, creepy elves
And now we're getting girlies in love 😩💕
Does this book has it all?

This book is so unpredictable sometimes??
It gets from cliché as fuck and blatantly fatphobic to denouncing capitalism and police brutality??? HOW ???

Finally took the time to get back to this one, I’m really mad I can’t properly dive into this atm, but I don’t want to postpone this read because I really enjoy it <3

You know, that’s right, a good book always needs animal cruelty :) (absolutely not)
However the way the alternative community is described is insanely funny. Muchamore really said « Medieval peasants »

pov : a 5 yo is telling you about their holidays in Normandie and they’re exaggerating absolutely everything
Also, I get this is the introduction of the series, but this seems awfully disjointed ?

Honestly, finally some good fantasy?
No mary-sues, light but coherent world-building, yes

my god, the fatphobia in this book is so intense......

Really loved the prologue, perfect fairy-tale vibes and very enjoyable writing.
I like the fact that Mer is, so far, a well written "not like other girls" character : she's indeed quite unique and she knows how to fight BUT the explanations are coherent, not over the top, and told in a way that doesn't single her out as "the best woman" as too many fantasy ya tend to do.

Yeees, bring the actiooon !!
Middle grade self thriving

Going from the Mercies to this is something :')
