I'm getting some Diarmuid feels here. If this goes pear-shaped, I am going to be INCONSOLABLE.

Shout out to Catherine the Great and Tsarina Elisabeth! Bonus review star to Bardugo!

This book started a little stale, but the last chapter has officially redeemed it. Sturmhond for President!

I can't tell you how much I enjoy reading series where the GIRL has the special powers and the boy is the 'ordinary' one trying to keep up!

This is not the book I was expecting. IT IS SO MUCH BETTER.

I don't care how much Judith's family has suffered. If they don't stop calling Judith "Worm", I'm going to lose my damn mind.

This shit is heavy.

Alexander McCall Smith is responsible for 99% of unfortunate raining-on-my-face-inside-my-car incidents.

I feel like the sequel is a little too heavy handed with the *~drama~*.

True fact: Guerilla warfare is the key to my dystopian heart.

*dolphin noises*

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHGGGGGRRRRRHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was real into Mal until this Darkling guy came along. Mrow.

I KNEW IT. Let the record reflect, that I am the most crime-solvingest librarian of all time. ALL TIME.

...and suddenly, THE PLAGUE.

dun dun DUUUUNNN.

Oh yeah. I can spot a historical murderer at 100 pages.

Pretty sure I figured this one out...

I'm having a hard time moving past the TOTALLY ANACHRONISTIC dress on the front cover. IT'S 1665 FOR FUCK'S SAKE. Unless Lucy is walking around in her underwear, and so far she doesn't seem like that kind of gal, IT IS ALL WRONG.

IT'S ALL WRONG.

"You want to know what's preposterous? That widow's peak is preposterous. God. It really makes you feel the sad dearth of widow's peaks in daily life. We could, like, use him as breeding stock to seed widow's peaks into the populace."

Zuzana is the best.

"Can you believe him? Does he think if he just dangles his boy bits at you like a cat toy you'll go scampering after him?"

I'm already in love.

I'm all for self-publishing, but please, for the love of dog, get someone to proofread your galleys. Quotation marks all over the damn place.

This book is totally going to fuck me up. I can already tell.

I ensured that men who fathered bastards had to pay for their children and that the women who bore them were whipped. If a maiden was raped, who but a midwife would stand with her against her assailant? Who better than a midwife could recognize the signs of bewitchment and find the witch's mark? Without midwives, lust would reign, and order would turn to chaos.
