So far I don’t really give a damn about any of the characters, not even Rin. I knew this story would be a slowburn but God this is REALLY slowburn

I feel like the drunkard master was the best student in his academic life. Idk just a theory (I have watched too many Cdramas) 😂

I like the premise so far but the lack of description and details is bugging me. I don’t expect the writer to walk me through Korean history but I still expect her to outline the scenery and stuff. I’m more of a Korean contemporary watcher/reader so I would have really appreciated a somewhat detailed description of the surroundings.

"The alternative causes such a mess. Blood is impossible to get out of silk, and I can't tell you how many times my servant has had to wash questionable stains from this cloak."

Will he ever stop?!?!?

"Don't tell me you've succumbed to my charms," he said over his shoulder. "I assure you, no good will come of a passionate affair between us. You, a small-town country librarian, me, the kingdom's most eligible bachelor-you needn't scoff, Scrivener. It's true-go out on the street and ask anyone. I'm quite famous."

Man shut up

"I wanted to know the name of the girl who almost murdered me with a bookcase. It seemed wise, in case I ever crossed paths with you again."

Someone’s got a crush

"I don't want to inflame the public. They go absolutely mad in the presence of celebrity, you see, and I'd prefer them not to storm the carriage. There are only so many propositions of marriage a man can bear."

God.

"Why did you grab my hair that day in Summershall?" he asked. "I know you didn't do it by accident, but I can't for the life of me come up with a rational explanation."

He’s so touch starved 😂

“I haven't sacrificed virgins for my perfect cheekbones, if that's what you mean. Virgins, in general, have fewer magical properties than people tend to assume.”

What’s with him and virgins 😭 PLEASE

“The sooner we get started, the faster I can get back to tormenting widows and scandalizing the elderly with my nefarious black arts."

This guy *sigh*

She straightened, and the blood rushed from her head. She staggered, overcome by a wave of dizziness. The dungeon had left her body weak. A hand caught her elbow. "Steady, miss," said a soft voice beside her.

I’d rather Nathaniel catch her *wink wink*

You used a demonic incantation to pack my stockings!" He raised an eyebrow. "You're right, that doesn't sound like something a proper evil sorcerer would do. Next time, I won't fold them."
😂

“After all, disturbing the peace is what I'm good at. Most of the time, I do it without even trying.”

If that’s all you’re good at then I think it’s high time you start re-evaluating your life choices

"Don't worry," he assured her, smoothing his tousled hair. "Young ladies have seized me in far more compromising locations. I understand the impulse can be overpowering."

OMG.. he’s an asshole

“With that startled expression on his face, he looked less like a sorcerer who bargained with demons and more like an ordinary young man. His hair was soft, the texture of silk. She didn't know why she would notice such a thing.”

Because she’s a creep

“When he pulled her up, she pretended to stumble, and landed with her fingers buried in his black-and-silver hair. He blinked at her in surprise. He was almost as tall as her, and their faces nearly touched. His lips parted as if to speak, but no sound came out.”

Elisabeth, you sneaky little bish 🙂

“But I only turn girls into salamanders on Tuesdays. Luckily for you, it's a Wednesday, which is the day I drink a goblet of orphan's blood for supper."

🙄

“A wise precaution. We sorcerers are terribly wicked, after all. Prowling the wilds, stealing away maidens for our unholy rituals..."

he’s not making it any better

“He might maintain the resemblance of youth by bathing in the blood of virgins—.” Ayo what 💀

“She hadn’t seen the last of the Book of Eyes— and it had not seen the last of her.”

*DAN DAN DAN*

“That sword was famous at Summershall. It was named Demonslayer.” 😂 are you kidding me?

I should add some remarks, it’s rewind time.

Warner sounds like an asshole and I can’t seem to understand why our FMC is head over heels for Adam???

“His lips are 2 blocks of concrete I can’t crack open.”

Juliette can you speak human? Please?

“Maybe I want to touch you.”

Dude you guys are locked up in a cell and all you can think about is being horny??

“He leaves less than a foot of space between us and I’m 10 inches away from spontaneous combustion.” 😂 everything she says falls under some spectrum of brutality

“I see dead dead dead red and burgundy and maroon and the richest shade of your mother’s favourite lipstick all smeared into the earth.”

😭

“My life is 4 walls of missed opportunities Soured into concrete molds.”

“I have no idea which day of the week it is, what month we’re in, or even if there’s a specific season we’re supposed to be in.”

Wasn’t she counting days or something? Can’t she make a guess?
