Agent Thirteen: *punches out a Nazi for trying to assault a barmaid*

Me: *cheers and waves pompoms because that jerk had it coming for soooo long*

I'm happy to report that everyone was right and Ava has gotten past the brief period of being annoying. XD And there was indeed a reason for it, so that's good. I'm being drawn back into enjoying this world and story again. :)

Man, reading about Nazis being Nazis, especially here in the United States, is terrifying and angering. The lies they believed and spread were truly demonic and being a spy amongst them, unable to speak out against it lest you get caught, would be torture. I can't help admiring our main characters for being brave enough to face it and take action.

Okay, I see what people meant when they said the main character is annoying at the start. Take a chill pill, girl. XD Thankfully, I have it on good authority that she gets better later.

I think it's interesting that Agent Thirteen is referred to only as Thirteen at this point. As readers we don't even know who the man really is. I'm sure there will be some big reveal later. :)

I'm starting to make better progress now, so I guess I was just having brain fog before.

I'm not sure why I'm struggling to focus on this right now. There's nothing wrong with the writing style, so it's either that it's hard to read about Nazis trying to infiltrate the US or it's hormone brain fog on my part. I'm going to give it a few more days and chapters. If I'm still struggling, then I'll put it down and try again later. If I'm suddenly able to focus, then it was brain fog.

My review for Sky of Seven Colors is up! https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

And thus we start the book by being reminded that the Hollywood culture of this era was super toxic for women and I already want to punch one character through a wall like Mr. Incredible did to his boss. :P

I got determined to finish last night, so I did! RTC

Yeah, so, I may have read until 1am last night because *FLAILING*. This book is not a relaxing read for bedtime. XD

Also, the giant hummingbirds that you can ride on are not just cool, they're sweet and precious and need to be protected. I want to snuggle one so baaaad. <3

Okay, giant hummingbirds that you can ride like horses are pretty cool.

I don't usually skip to the last pages of a book to find out the ending, but certain things feel a little ominous right now and I was getting concerned. XD It's fine, the ending's one I can be happy with. :)

The power was out for a solid two hours last night due to a storm and downed trees, so I made a solid chunk 'o progress in this. This world is so interesting! I can't wait to dig deeper and learn more about it.

Proce and Von are cute together. I like them. :)

They remind me sometimes of that couple in the movie Encanto. "Are you telling this story or am I?" :P

Really loving these characters and the culture of historical Cornwall.

Well, that started out intense. Gonna be interesting to see where it goes from here!

I really like the seaside feel of this. Perfect as a summer read. :)

Oh my goodness, I loved that ending so much! RTC!

Eeeeeeep, it's getting exciting! (Well, more exciting. The whole thing has been pretty exciting.) XD
