I like how even if the main character is super logical all the time, he’s also shown to be blinded by emotions,

That being said, how could he be so blind ?!
Hmmm…I can understand him though and I like how observant he is.

This guy is probably running the biggest scam of his life but wow, he’s pretty good at it. He’s so good at it that he also convinced himself into this scam.

All that aside, I don’t think he has people fooled though. There’s something more going on and I don’t think he’s the only one scamming here….
I’ll put money on lex. She seems most sus to me

*minor spoilers*

“. . . not doing a DNA test! That boy has been terribly abused, and we won’t subject him . . . don’t want him to think we have any doubts . . .”

First of all, just like the police, I don’t believe this guy is Daniel Tate.

So, I’m confused at why daniel’s siblings don’t want to check either. It’s almost like…they know he’s not Daniel Tate and they don’t the police to know.

“Did you believe me when I said I was some no-name runaway from the Canadian backwoods? You shouldn’t have. I told you I was a liar”

But you also said that you don’t want to lie and want to tell truth for once !! 😧.
Don’t tell you lied about not lying ??

I can’t believe a fictional character lied to me and I FELL for it 🤡.

I realized…I’m more worried about the main character getting caught in his scam than…the main character himself 😑

Story #3 : Night Surf - done (1/5)

What did I just read ? This was wrong on so many levels…like…what ??
Also, what was the point of this story ??

Story #2 : Graveyard shift - done (3/5)

This was more disgusting and gory than ‘scary’ but I suppose it depends on what people are afraid of.
Also, I would never ever ever want to experience even anything close to that. That stuff is straight from the nightmares 💀

Story #1 - Jerusalem’s lot - DNF

I can’t understand a thing of what’s written…I suppose it’s about a haunted house ? But the narrator sounds annoying and I don’t want to read his letters.

Part IV done and FINALLY the plot is starting to resolve.

Like…conclusion is in sight but there is STILL 25% left, how long is this book ? 😭😭

Part III done and I’ve gone from finally putting together what’s going on…to understanding very little.

What’s going on ? So much happened in this part and I’m…confused 🥲

“You could offer her a child.”

WHY IS EVERYONE OBSESSED WITH GIVING BIRTH ?? 💀

Part II done and this part was tragic in many ways, but the plot has progressed a lot too.

Ead is awesome !!
Though, I don’t really like Sabran’s character writing and the way their relationship developed.

I think it’s because I expected something else…something more exciting.

Also, wow..people really speak in riddles in high fantasy. It sounds cool but complicated.

Ok…
I still have no idea what’s going on but I think it’s starting to come together ?

“You can’t ever know someone completely. You’d have to be everything to them, and that’s impossible.”

Wait…is this foreshadowing ?!

I mean, technically I knew from the description. So maybe not. But it’s so cool to see.

“You are in The Priory of the Orange Tree, *Blank*. In Lasia.”

I just love it when the title of the book is mentioned. Just little things which make me go “OHHH”.

*SPOILERS*

I knew there will be deaths but….🥺.

Also, the moral of the story is always listen to Ead. ALWAYS

End of Part I
5 more parts left now.

I think this was difficult to read at first because I didn’t know what was going and I couldn’t invest in the story. It took me at least 20% into the story to finally be interested. I think it’s easier to read now.

That being said…

*spoilers*

The wedding night…IT WAS SO CREEPY. The way the talked about Sabran and her duty. Urghhh 😰

*SPOILERS*

“I’m so sorry, Prudence. I didn’t mean them.”

Hahahaha…nope 😐
Not at all.

There’s no coming back once you’ve accused someone innocent of theft without a valid proof. he hurt her so much and he didn’t even listen to her properly.

And then what ? An simple apology, that’s it ??
Getting falsely accused hurts so much and that’s something hard to forgive.

URGHH…I hate prudence so much now 😑😑.

Like, why is she so mean ??

Urghhh…Prudence is sooo annoying.
Quint isn’t any better either.
Both of them together are even more annoying

I think this is a sign that I should keep away from enemies to lover trope in contemporary romance books.

How did Truyde making the most and the least amount of sense at the same time ??
At one hand, she’s pretty sharp but on the other hand, she’s also pretty delusional ??

Right idea, wrong execution 😓

So many characters, so many titles, so much world building and backstory….

Yet the plot has barely moved forward

“Ah, Majesty, we mortals all have faults—except for you, of course. My master’s only flaw is that he tires himself with worry for his people.”

Same energy as “my weakness is that I’m a perfectionist 😩}”.

2 chapters done and I still have no idea about the plot. I just have some vague understanding of the characters and world building.

But there’s like 750 pages left, so it’s gonna be a while

“The only thing you have to do now is convince other people that this particular piece is good art.”

Ok, but seriously I think this is the only way those modern abstract arts are considered masterpiece.

There’s no way anyone is impressed by 2 squares put together 🙄

2/2/22 falling on Wednesday, a day after Tuesday (two’s day) feels wrong for some reason.
Also, today’s date feels special because it’s two’s day and three’s day is on 3/3/33.

But sadly, today is just ordinary for me.

She took a plate and put two round, spongy rice cakes on it. “My favorite. Idli. You just pour the sambar on top, and the idli soaks it in, and it tastes amazing.”

Oh wow, a South Indian dish, I didn’t expect it.
Also, I’m genuinely curious at how many people eat this way ?

I personally prefer keeping sambar at side and using it as a gravy

“From glancing around at the other students, I saw that it was working pretty well. Mouths hanging open, sighs, frowns, shifting in seats.”

Ok, if I imagine myself in her situation where my islamophobic teacher was purposely manipulating everyone by putting my religion in bad light…
And I look around and see no form of support ?

Yeah, no exaggeration, I would start crying right there and then.

1/25 stories done

..and I didn’t get ‘the lottery’ at all. Is this a critique on something ?

Ok this is simply addicting.
The plot is just fine

But the writing style and plot development is simply AMAZING.
it’s neither rushed nor delayed.
Also, the writing style is so smooth and easy to read 🤩
