“Are you okay?” I cried

How on earth is June not on the movie

Phenomenal so far

You really have to be able to root for morally gray/obviously extremely flawed people to enjoy this book, and that just keeps getting clearer and clearer.

Wow. Still a henry fan. I think they’re all crazy though.

Since we already know what happens to one of the main characters, I am scared I know how it happens now

OH MY GOD SECRET SPILLED

I don’t understand why the author told us about the upcoming main character death. It must serve a purpose and I am so curious. Loving Henry so far

Quite pretentious, both the narrator’s inner monologue and the members of the exclusive Greek class. These people are supposed to be pretentious though, and it’s written well enough to be enjoyably difficult to understand.

It took me 3 months to read 10 chapters because I was so scared to read the war chapters. And I was so valid in that. I cried and felt it in my soul.

I have yet to see any plot development, and I am still not sure what the point of this book is. It is an interesting perspective on greed, vanity, and obsession, but I hope the second half of the book is more engaging.

OBSESSED. Evelyn is such a complex character and she’s so smart and this book has completely changed the way I view celebrities and their relationship with each other and public eye.

I am so sad. That was possibly the saddest thing that could have happened. And Mare is now insane which should make the rest of the book interesting. I appreciate that her trauma has changed her, I don’t like when books ignore the fact that trauma changes people, but I do hope she gets some humanity back.

Kilorn is lowkey right that she shouldn’t trust Cal, don’t get me wrong, but the whole confrontation comes from a place of jealousy not concern which is where the issue forms.

**SPOILERS**

Kilorn pissed me right off he has no right to expect her to feel the same way. And at first he seems to not, but then is like someday you’ll fall and I won’t be there to catch you. HUH. Bro HUH. Stfu rn. Kilorn=flop

This is very rebellion war tactic soldier militant vibes so far, which isn’t really my thing. I like Cal more & more.Him and Chaol from TOG are 2 sides of the same coin, however Chaol struggled with switching sides because he selfishly wanted to hold onto his honor, which he deemed possible by staying loyal to his original cause, which is dumb. Cal struggles because his life has been a lie, which is understandable.

I’m excited that her brothers are in the story. It’s feeling like Mockingjay in that it’s turning more into a rebellion tactics and soldier’s orders kind of story, which I don’t love. Hoping the fantasy element stays strong and it doesn’t just turn into a war story

And my instinct to not trust Maven was right too!! He had me so almost fooled by the end but I had a feeling the 4 names he gave were people he wanted killed for his own agenda. He had me mostly fooled though.

I WAS RIGHT ABOUT ELARA BEING LIKE CERSEI AND BEING THE MASTERMIND!!! Genius women who want power and love their son

Elara reminds me of Cersei Lannister in that she has less power systemically and her husband calls the shots officially, but she socially is a mastermind and a manipulator and I think at some point in the future she’ll be calling the shots.

I love Maven!!!! I wish there was a bit more buildup between him and Mare before he kissed her but I also love the confusion it’s causing. I’m scarred from so many betrayal books so I don’t trust Maven yet, but I hope he’s good. Cal is pissing me right off though he can kick rocks. He’s so righteous about his cause and reminds me of Chaol in the way that he doesn’t see the world as in need of change.

I love Maven so far, he seems like a good person and at least seems to care about Mare being safe. I feel like Elara is a genius and the mastermind behind everything. I feel like Cal is going to have some plot twist, he’s going to turn out morally grey somehow.

It started with bran pov, which is so mid. Theon and Robb act like little boys in the book which starkly contrasts them acting like men in the show and highlighted that these things and this responsibility expected of them are happening to literal children. Also Bran catches Jaime and Cersei talking about killing Jon Arryn not just hooking up! The drama
