finally after nearly a year i’m gonna read this, at last it’s time to read a book grounded in reality lol

what i’m done already???????

i shall give a rating of 3.5 stars. all in all i enjoyed this series, the story and characters were well fleshed out, and there were some enjoyable moments. the politics, like cardan, bored me lol and i never got super attached to the characters but it was a fun read :)

and thank goodness they actually got a happy ending, it was looking a bit rough there for a bit hahaha

welp i’m crying from this smut scene and it’s not good tears 💀

i am very uncomfortable like should i leave the room srry for spying on you both having sex lol

please let him be genuine please let him be genuine please let him be genuine (this scene aaaaaaaa they’re FINALLY together frfr…… about time)

but like now i’m scared bc i’m only halfway done like what horrors await me further 🫡

this book is making me doubt my sanity omg

cardan and literally every other character in this series are just the embodiment of mixed signals??? like he goes “you’re a dirty mortal liar” in one sentence and then “DONT TOUCH HER SHES MY WIFE” like wtf man just pick a side 💀

first scene back with cardan and he asks her to strip 😭😭😭

i still haven’t decided if i love this immortal fellow or want to throw him off the nearest bridge

if cardan doesn’t die or land in jude’s arms by the end of this book i will be very upset

the trilogy is complete !! !! !!

i forgot how hard this book hit oh BOY

it is such a step up from the first two - rated 4.4 stars because it still had a love triangle ew but katniss makes it worth it with her inner monologue and trauma :)

ngl i forgot how many of my favourite characters died during this series FINNICK NOOOOOOOO I LOVED YOU 😭

ok so this book was a step-up from the first lol i rate it 3.8 stars

capitol spiciness up, also i paid close attention to the segments talking about haymitch hahaha i’m scared

time to see katniss be traumatised for the entire last book here we go

first book done - solid 3 stars. bit overrated ngl and my favourite capitol trauma escapades happen in later books but still pretty solid

ya stereotypes exist for a reason……. but all things considered katniss is so funny to me whenever she assumes people are trying to undermine her like girl he gave you cookies it’s not a threat 😭🙏

let the games…. continue????

time to re-read this classic trilogy so i can get to sunrise on the reaping :)

i have many questions

3.4 stars, only rounding down to 3 because i am very confused cardan noooo i trusted you :(

welp she just girlboss gatekeeped her way into marrying cardan damn

but like fr imagine cardan figuring out his newly wed wife murdered his brother like what 💀💀💀

i dunno how jude’s gonna girlboss gatekeep her way outta this one 😭

SORRY BUT THIS ENDING WAS SO GOOD WHAT

i give this book 4.5 stars rounded up to five, originally it was four because i can’t do physics to save my life but i considered that a skill issue on my end lol

that ending was genuinely so hopeful and beautiful and i love the bittersweet tones throughout the book it was so good AND 10/10 BROMANCE WE LOVE GRACE AND ROCKY

time to watch the movie hehehe

OMG OMG OMG HES GOING BACK FOR ROCKY IM SO HAPPY AAAAAAAAAAAAA THE BROMANCE(??) CONTINUES DJSKDNEJSKDHDKAKKSSJJD

“I’ve gone from ‘sole-surviving space explorer’ to ‘guy with wacky new roommate’” THIS HAS SO MUCH WHIMSY AND I LOVE IT

i’m falling head over heels with an alien called rocky that was NOT on my 2026 bingo card 😭

rocky and grace are gonna be in my top duos in fiction for sure

this book has just the right level of comedy and existential dread, it’s scratching an itch in my brain

ok but him panicking thinking “oh no i like kids” to the relief of “OH THANK GOD I’M A TEACHER” is comedy gold hahaha amnesia is the best

i have a premonition this book may be the beginning of my next hyperfixation but let’s just continue for now lol

yes i’m reading this so i can watch the movie, yes i want to understand why markiplier is gonna crawl out of an ocean of blood into ryan gosling’s arms and yes i’m reading this when three huge ass assignments are due tomorrow 😭🥀

meta moment: i hate that i love this smut scene

she can fix him: mean faery edition

time for the “i probably shouldn’t like him bc he’s an asshole but also mmmmmm” experience to continue

great book, i give it 4 stars - only negative was that ironically, hark and jelt’s relationship could have been “fleshed” out more (ha get it) because we get told they were close but never see it lol

very enjoyable :)

quest is the very definition of a plot twist and i love him for it

bro i completely forgot that jelt gets transformed into a weird octopus monster thing 💀

this book is actually peak, it has:
- great world-building and lore
- a likeable main character (WOOOOO)
- super interesting character dynamics
- great prose and plot

side note: i find it funny how i wasn’t able to read harry potter at age 12 but somehow this book passed the sniff test 😂

re-reading this gem, i remember REALLY enjoying it back in 2019 so i wanna read it again from a not-12-year-old perspective hahaha

yes i just read all eleven of these in two weeks, what about it

will treaty my beloved
