TW: cutting arms for blood magic

Are we getting a brief conversation about sexism and dress codes? I think we are!

I liked April in the first book but she is the wooooorst in this book. A good thing gone bad?

Why is April so unlikable in this???

Finally got this back from the library so I can finish it.

Gwen no!

If I get nothing else from this book, I will print and reread the intro over and over. It articulated something about my life I never thought of or put words to.

Listening to this while folding laundry and thinking how soon I'm going to purchase my own copy.

IT'S NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK!! 🎉
Thanks to my mom for making libraries our safe place and for hauling bags and bags of books home and reading to us every night. I am incredibly grateful for all the libraries that have opened their doors and lent their books to me over the years. The one time I didn't have access to a library, during the pandemic, it truly made me realize how much they mean to me.

Am really excited about this, and about an hour in, but my brain doesn't want anything new. So I'm picking up The Future King and will get back to this later.

I have a feeling I'm going to sob through this whole book 😭😭

Either it was really obvious or I've finally read enough YA and MG to predict plots, but I picked this book up without rereading synopsis, and immediately when the dad was introduced I was like "this man is going down."

Slow your audiobooks down during this first part because Holy cow is there a lot of world info dumping.

TW:Slicing of the palm for magical purposes (twice)

Roll credits!

Sometimes I feel like this book is too long and sometimes I feel like everything is vital and perfectly written. I think it has to be this long with all the characters being juggled around. But it's all really really well written. And the audiobook is fabulous.

I have been horribly overstimulated with thanks to tism burnout and a Rollercoaster ride of trying to find the right hormone dose to calm PCOS and PMDD riddled brain and body. No fun! But the book gods came through and let me renew the audiobook for a second time and I would like to personally thank them for that.

A true Mulan moment right here and I'm living for it

AHHHHHHHHHH

Haha! Snagged it for another 14 days so I can't actually finish it without having to wait several months. Greatly appreciate everyone in Greensboro not currently wanting to read this one.

The 👏 ten 👏 sion

I only have five more days to finish the last 70 or so percent! I've gotten so used to Scribd and not having a countdown that now I'm stressed. I'm hoping no one else wants this, and I can reclaim it. I'm enjoying the narration so much that I don't want to switch to my hardcopy!
