This book is entirely too long. Speed up the love triangle, cut out the dragon sex, and move this puppy along!

Yessss girl 👏👏👏 Let him go. His pessimism will keep you stuck.

Yall, we got Dragons!! Also, I genuinely like Violet's friends, Riddick and Riannan. They are really fun and sweet. Like their interactions.
I did look at the fact that I still have 12hrs left on the audiobook and I'm not entirely sure I'd get through it if I had a hard copy. But it's a quick read via audiobook and something I have actually looked forward to coming back to it at night, esp.w/paper writing all day.

Everyone who predicted she was going to get the Toothless of the group raise your hand ✋️

My dude. She isn't going to the scribe quadrant. Move on!

This has clichés, sure, but I'm actually having a lot of fun. There's a lot violence but it doesn't feel as heavy. Idk how to describe it but it just feels more light and 2010 then serious gore and gruesomeness in something like Game of Thrones. Really appreciate that and having it be reminiscent of the classic YA of the 2010s feels oddly nostalgic and comforting.

Reading to try and write my final paper on for my CST 460: Pop Culture, Comic Books and Superheroes class this summer. So bummed this class went from something I was looking forward to to and actual dumpster fire.

Well we've already got people roasted and broken, so they weren't kidding about the violence. But for some reason, maybe the clichés, it doesn't feel as intense. At least for now.
Also yay for EDS rep.

Nice to see EDS in this.

This is like a time capsule back to the Hunger Games, Divergent, Selection/Matched, Vampire Diaries era.

I'm putting aside all of the cliches already and I'm just here to have a good time. I'm not on TikTok or Twitter or Instagram, so I have no idea what tea spilled or debates have started other than the constant influx of one star and five star reviews on my Goodreads. Can actually say I had this on my TBR since the beginning of the year.
But yeah
Here for a good time
And Divergent vibes apparently

I'm only 8% into this but unfortunately im really bored.

TW: Stabbing and death of a father on page

TW: mass murder

There have been a lot of drawn-out scenes that stalled the story (**cough cough France cough cough**), but I sense this is going to build up to an epic cliffhanger over the last hour.

Man. They really tried to make a point and then didn't think of anything after that. This ending with Booster is so deus ex machina, yada yada'd it's frustrating.

" If it was up to me, and there was nothing to keep us apart, I would choose you every day for a lifetime," Arthur admitted.

Oophf. My heart.

My library doesn't have a physical copy of this, and I need to read it like the Flash because of the absolute insanity that this summer class has turned into.
But I am so. freaking. tired. Of looking at my computer all day to try and get through this. I've probably finished another three books between this and the other theory I'm reading.

I don't know what comes after this for Wally, and I'm not a super well-versed into the comics, but I have a feeling that I'm going to side with the people who think this story (at least the end) is a hot mess express.

Having to read this for my Com Studies summer course on Pop Culture and Superheroes. Which sounds like it would be a lot of fun.
It sucks.
It is really just taking a fun thing I like and making it unnecessarily difficult and mild melting via theory and academic nonsense.

TW: addiction (to healing salve)

I'm really hoping that Emry figures out a way to use the new magic without cutting herself over and over. I've had to stop reading other books because I just can't deal with the repeated self harm descriptions of blood magic, but I really want to continue this series.

TW: Sword cut graphic murder

TW:Mention of abuse at the hands of a religious "reform" school for LGBT individuals.

Getting realllly tired of Emry doing absolutely nothing in France 😡

A cute new couple!
Feels a little jarring to hop back to POVs that aren't Emry or Arthur after several chapters of only them but I also like Gwen. Feel like Arthur is being a douche for already committing to Gwen and still flouncing around with Emry.

Tw:Hunting scene
Attempted rape/sexual assault
