Matthias and Nina are such hunky dorks it's adorable.

But why is Nina so sketchy to Kaz??? I wanna hug Kaz. He has no idea what's about to blindside him :/

Nina is my all time fave character in this book. She is the best badass protag I have EVER read.

EVER.

Yay I got new glasses now I can READ even CLEARER woo.

So a heap of character/relationship stuff is building while they're on the ship; but it's taking longer for me to understand the relations.

I feel so behind. I can't believe I've gone into this hot reading Grisha first.

Like who's good and who's bad? Why should I care about a certain person's feelings to this other character's betrayal? Idk?

Okay so basically NOTHING has happened in this chunk, ffs, but there was a funny joke taken to Kaz about a nursemaid.

Question for fans who know better; WHY is there not a glossary for some terms? They're italicised, but not explained.

And some words are unnecessarily spelled wrong; like "medik". For gods sake; WHY DO HIGH FANTASY'S DO THIS. WHY.

Somebody actually answer me please? Sorry, I'm frustrated.

Idk wtf the dynamic is between Matthias and Nina and idk if they have backstory (I'm sitting here going "what the actual fuck is going on" because he wakes up, we don't get told a thing about this guy, and book; he's strangling her) but rn I'm just feeling some Peeta vibes circa. Mockingjay part 1&2.

I'm sad bc I'm confused and feel like a noob.

I like Nina! She's a good voice of reason. She seems like she has some huge backstory.

This entire time I feel like I'm missing out on this big crazy war that happened in the other series… is that the case?

How many of these characters were from the old series?

"When everyone knows you're a monster, you Brent waste time doing every monstrous thing."

This is written really well. I have phased out a few times, due to long descriptions of the setting, but most of it is coherent.

I seriously regret not reading Grisha beforehand.

Okay this is good!

But idk wtf half of these Grisha terminologies were-- maybe I should've read them after all...

Have I read the Grisha Trilogy?

No.

Do I think I'll like this?

Probably not. It has a map. I'm already getting ToG vibes (and you guys KNOW I do not like that series).

Am I reading this because it's so popular on GR and very YA fan raves about it on my feed?

Yep.

I'm about to read The Six of Crows.

Should I read the Grisha series beforehand?

--
This week has been such great reading week: Raven Boys, Illuminae, Gemina… I'm in a ball of 2015 feels.

Jackson what the hell?????

THIS BOOK IT 1000X BETTER THAN ILLUMINAE oh my stars

Wtf it was a multiverse thing??

THAT'S AWESOMELY AMAZING. THIS IS WAY BETTER THAN ILLUMINAE.

OMFG OMFG

<spoiler> I wanna cry for so many things rn; NIK KS DEAD, Kady is FINALLY properly in the story-- and we find out her Dad is alive??? AND THEY FINALLY TALK!?!?</spoiler>

Chills. I have chills.

AYYYE <spoiler>They met up and romantically ran to each other and kissed???? LOVE IT.</spoiler>

Okay this is a great part of the story (so far)

Nik just pulled a Jace Wayland if I've ever seen one oh my god

Oh I recently studied the battle of Thermopylae! That's cool.

Ella is funny but there's so much silliness going on when they're about to be slaughtered ffs I want a coherent plot PLEASE

UM there was an innuendo about vibrating things and I am feeling way to much sexual tension rn for such a tame sci fi read oml

"She stows the lipstick, hefty Nightinggale's gun and departs at the infirmary."

YES BLESS THIS BOOK HAVING A BADASS FEMALE PROTAG WHO CAN FIGHT BUT ALSO APPRECIATE "GIRLY" THINGS

I'm loving this book!

But I really don't care about half the political stuff that's going down. There's a little too much undergoing. It would be more suited for a movie, but with so many documents to read-- too much.

Aw… okay. Jackson is actually really cool. But I have a feeling something shitty is going to happen like he's gonna cheat on her.

Hanna's diary is cute but also super cringey. Especially the quotes. God. Stop. This.

I like the new features. This is gonna be a fun ship to read.

I just hate that there's no chapters for me to read by. I need the boundariesssss!

YEP I ALREADY SHIP THEM LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED

I'm a bit skeptical on a new couple. The summary sounds like These Broken Stars.

I'm gonna give this a half assed attempt, even though I found the first book 5/5 stars.

2: Okay so now I'm confused if I'm meant to be shipping Blue with Gansey or Adam oh my oh my (and Noah keeps disappearing and nobody really cares??)

This helicopter chapter made my heart tighten oml what a great chapter

2: okay so I'm kind of shipping Blue with Adam even though I have been spoiled so many times about a certain somebody being hella gay and I just hope my memory is serving me wrong from multiple accounts.

2: yooo this is getting so intense.

- Whelks is so interesting
- Adam, my bby.

2: I'm suddenly way more interested in Ronan, despite the weirdly worded backstory we just got.

Love Blue. She's strong willed.
