i KNOW i should give lovely war the attention it deserves (shes lovely don't get me wrong) but how could i abandon ruthless vows when libby FINALLY delivered the audiobook to me after FIVE WEEKS?!? 😩

"The sound is a discordant mess, but pregnant with anticipation: from this chaos, order and excitement will come"

that's such a weird metaphor 😭

this is the most difficult decision of my life 😞


DO I READ RUTHLESS VOWS OR A SONG TO DROWN RIVERS OR LOVELY WAR 😭😭😭

pausing divine rivals for a minute to read this! (lie: ruthless vows wasn't available on libby rn 😞)

i was expecting it to be a traditional ww1(?) story, but i'm surprised to find a fantasy element in here!

SO THAT WAS WHAT HE SAID IN THE LETTER SHE NEVER READ 😭😭😭😭😭

what just happened???

4 👏 more 👏 chapters 👏

ik i said this before, but i am obsessed with ross' portrayal of war. she explicitly shows the stronger, more powerful side using all the force they have to kill innocents, while the rest of the world CHOOSES to fight for what they believe is good and right and humane. honestly it resonates so much with what is going on in the world nowadays. unfortunately, there is so much that there are injustices we never hear of.

im actually obsessed with how this part of the book is set in the trenches, the descriptions seem so realistic and wow

STOPPPP this is so cute 😭💞

the way my chest collapsed with the same fear that iris' did

He sent the terse message. He paced again as he waited, and when Iris remained silent, Roman grimaced. This was it. She was done.

ladies and gentlemen!! i present to you, the first text message conversation !! 📜 💬

dude i'm actually so excited to start this series - especially since i'm in the dark academia mood 🌑✒️💫📷🕰️📜

i would like to mention that i am reading the harpercollins version of this book !! 💞

ooooh ik what's coming up 🤭🤭

halfway of halfway done 💪

i need details on this master corbenic thing NOW

ok plotline is really fun but effy's starting to be a little, tiny tiny, miniscule, minute bit annoying 😩

really hope she gets better coz i really want to love this book !!

ok ik i'm only 7% but i am HOOKED 🤭

i really love the fact that rather than having this boring, long time set for world building we're moving at a fast pace thru the actual story AND learning about the characters at the same time 💞

pray for me this is the fourth book i am adding to my cr because of my horrendous reading slump 😭 🫠 insha'Allah this one will be good 🤧

started this ages ago and realised i never added it to my cr?? 😭

Remember, they were real people. They aren't just statistics.💔

unpopular opinion: books where the best character dies **at the end** are actually amazing because sad endings are way more interesting than happy endings

can we plssssss skip the world building 😩

i thought joost and anya were supposed to be main characters 😭

“Because you’re thirsty? Because you’ve never drunk water? Ever?” Her words were rippled with the hint of a giggle.

zayneb nooo that's not very halal 😭😭

now i want a cup of strong karak and a warm flaky paratha 😩

I didn’t know then that Mom and I would be making her fries together only a few more times that year. Before she left us. They really were the best in the world. She really was the best in the world.

i don't know if I'll be able to look at french fries the same way again 😭 this is so sad :((

"I wished that I could kick you. I wished I could slap you."

for context: taryn's saying this to jude.
