(123/516) they stopped at an art gallery and Dante read a poem by a dead gay man to Ari and the dead guy’s Mother.

(71/162) why DO COMPUTERS EXIST THERE??? I am so confused about the setting. Also fuck Poe.

(57/162) what about Mr. Poe the banker? Shouldn’t he have inspected the home and interviewed the new legal guardian before just throwing the children at him? They’re neglected and have poor living conditions. ALSO WHY DON’T THESE KIDS GO TO SCHOOL??? This must really be the early 1900s or late 1800s if nobody gives 2 shits about child abuse.

(40/162) why is Lemony Snicket mansplaining what words mean to me? Everyone knows what perished means. Then there’s the baby who just loves biting. I mean, according to the book, a gentle bite means she likes you, and a very, very hard bite means she hates u. WHY??? SHE ONLY HAS 4 TEETH 🦷

(27/162) what is the setting for this book? I’m thinking early 1900s in England. They seem aggressively English. Also why the eye?? Slather it everywhere, I guess. Why not? ALSO WHY IS HE BOTH A COUNT & AN ACTOR? I’M CRYING 😭

(10/162) unfortunate indeed, the children got orphaned. ALSO I REMEMBER VIOLET SIGNING THE MARRIAGE DOCUMENT WITH HER LEFT HAND, CAUSING IT TO SOMEHOW BE INVALID. THAT’S WHY THEY MENTIONED SHE’S RIGHT HANDED IN CHAPTER 1.

(116/516) fucking love this book so much. I have to listen to “Amor” by Këkht Aräkh while I read it tho. It completes the experience. It’s like the song was written for that book.

(108/516)
Dante responding to Ari in the camping trip:
“‘Damn straight.’
‘We should train ourselves to avoid using that word whenever possible.’”
(Pg. 108)

(103/516) I love this fucking series. It’s deep and meaningful. It’s so thought provoking too. The characters are iconic, it’s depressing yet pure happiness, which fits Ari to a T. This series makes me yearn and ache for more. I just can’t get enough.

(84/516) Ari’s gonna go camping alone with Dante. He’s lost and trying to find out who he is becoming with Dante to help him. Also the sisters accepted him, but I wanted the scene to be longer than like 5 pages. I can’t wait to read about them in school. I want Ari to come out to more people. But he doesn’t have any friends.

(68/516) His mother outed him to his older sisters. Outing is bad, but Aristotle Mendoza over here was gonna bottle up all his emotions and never tell anyone anything… so it was kinda necessary. ALSO I WANT TO SEE THE TALK THEY HAVE ABOUT IT AT LUNCH.

(50/516) Ari is obsessing over Dante. I want him to come out to that girl @ school. So he can have someone to vent to about him & Dante’s relationship other than his mom. It’s hilarious that Dante had a lot of internalized homophobia while his mother is an absolute ally.
Dante: I bet it’s just a phase
Mom: No. Ur gay. U love Dante.
Then there’s shit about the AIDs epidemic. Color me intrigued.

(228/243) going to the judge hearing thing. He’s self loathing rn. Hopefully he’ll have a good judge of character and not go to juvie.

(214/243) he’s gonna return the medal. And everyone knows he didn’t purposely whack Joel in the face. Fuck Aaron me Bear tho.

(192/243) hoe is back to his old life. Tsk tsk. Do better.

(159/243) Joel came back. Mc is getting really guilty over his past. The dimwits are planning to do something to Chase

(122/243) the dimwit finally figured out Aaron and Bear r assholes. 🤯 now he’s gotta figure out what to do with that knowledge.

(102/243) I wonder who the girl from his memory is. Also the children clearly stole the Medal of Honor from the old man’s room.

(81/243) looks like we found the old war veteran whose gonna be interviewed for the little competition.

(62/243) Chase the mc joined the film club. Yay, get chummy with the nerds!

(44/243) This bitch is listening to the bitch friends. Become friends with the camera nerd. 🤓 I’m gonna have to read until the mc gets some sense knocked into him. The friends and his father is an asshole. I like the premise tho.

I don’t like this book, I’m not gonna pick it up again. Too mediocre, doesn’t suck me in.

(454/454) I’ve finished! Stepmother died after made their peace. Apparently she was the one cooking with Shiori in her memories. Her brothers ain’t cranes no more. She has to return these fucking pearls to their dragons. I like Shiori’s & Takkan’s relationship. The brothers r kinda slay tho. Then there’s wolf, who will be a problem in the next book I guess. Idk about no brothers in the next book.

(420/454) wtf why do I love it more now? The bowl is gone, her magic is back. She needs to fix the whole her brothers are cranes thing tho. Yuji was killed off. His little apprentice or whatever turned into a demon. It was revealed that the stepmother only ever was trying to protect them. “Poison can be a medicine is disguise” type deal. Shiori got dragged to the holy mountains. Where’s the dragon?(next book?)

(386/454) PLOT TWIST! Her stepmother was just trying to protect Shiori for being killed due to the fact that her magic has the power to unleash the demons in the Holy Mountains. Her weird ass servant was a priestess from the mountains! Now I kinda like the stepmother… actually no. I’m conflicted. She can’t speak because her brothers will DIE is fucking mean. The story makes much more sense w/ this reveal.

(372/454) Zairena was a little killer assassin creature. Kiki found out when some gold ink turned black. Also Shiori and Takkan shared a moment.

(357/454) Takkan saw Shiori with her crane brothers. It was fun for me to read about him analyzing the odd situation. Also the chef was the killer. Damn. Never thought that’d be the case. I thought it would be the weaving orphan whose name starts with a Z. Also the dragons r reasonably pissed at her. The crane brothers mocking her crush on Takkan(her betrothed) was fucking hilarious.

(312/454) Zairena is suspicious. She’s just off. I’m not buying the whole turning into an orphan changes a person act. She’s up to something. DRAGON 🐉. COME SOONER, SPRING. Also will they fight the step mother in the next book? What’s happening there? I’m 2/3 into the book and not much has progressed curse wise.

(301/454) I want a reveal scene. DRAGON, COME BACK.

(279/454) I kinda ship Shiori and Takkan. Her curse is so sad tho. I want a reveal or a dragon meetup. Good thing she learned how to fight and cook on this adventure. Now she can be her own person if push comes to shove. THE DRAGON. COME BACK. How’s she gonna use the spindle, tho?
