I’m bored, ngl. hopefully this picks up soon

it just ends like that?? it feels so incomplete wtf

they’re freaky

random playlist in the middle of the book. what the hell, sure

Walt is sooooo disrespectful, just doing things Hollis doesn’t want. And the way he’s talking about Yulia is gross. God I hate men.

Walt taking control of Hollis’ body when Hollis was nothing but nice to him ?? oh fuck offfff

These chapters are so short. It feels like I’m reading a collection of scenes strung together, instead of a full story, if that makes sense.

spoiler // “The day of that vote, I realized the Written Doors had to go,” he went on. “It was the only way for travel to begin again. For scriptomancy to become important again.”

Mordraig was behind it all bc he wanted the art of scriptomancy to remain important… bruh

spoiler // “You’re worried someone will lock you up for helping my father with the skin scribing?”

so that’s why she did all of that? girl…… 😭

“And now you expect me to simply scoot aside because you asked nicely?”
“I could be mean about it if you want.”

lol

“she forced her arms above her head and moved her hips from side to side like the other singers, pointing her toes, prancing across the platform like a naked chicken in a Midspring parade.”

oh this is soooo embarrassing i can’t even read it 😭

boooooo i really don’t like that their 1st ~moment~ is happening bc they were under a literal horniness magic spell 🙄😒 i wanted their 1st romantic interaction to be genuine, not forced……

i dont really know why or how he came back 3 years later without memories and then in like 1 page got all his memories back, but whatever. it was still a sweet ending

“I wish we’d had a chance together,” he said softly. “Friends from the start, with no secrets or lies hanging between us. I wish that we might have fallen in love the ordinary way, holding hands and stealing kisses under the trees.” A smile touched his face, boyish and simple. “Watching the seasons change, and growing old together…in this life, in every life.”

that was kinda sad 3

if it’s between saving my DAD vs saving this dude who was stalking and lying to me for years with the intention of trapping me into an arranged marriage…… yeah it’s a VERY easy choice lmao

idk why she’s forgiving him so quickly 😭💀

“There were others before Gaari. You wouldn’t remember.”

I'm sorry but this is sooooo creepy!! What do you meeeeean this dude has been stalking and tricking her for YEARS?????

what do u mean Elang is Gaari?? 🥴

i'm not a fan of the arranged marriage trope, but the setup in this book is kinda working for me

these letters are getting creepy 😥

he is all flustered asking her to listen to his music… hihihi 🤭

He got her a left-handed quill! How sweet.

I feel so bad for this Eilidh girl 😭. Also, Maeve got REALLY lucky Eilidh didn’t notice that Maeve gave her the wrong ID 💀.

It always pulls me out of the story when, in a fantasy world, they use the Roman calendar.

the book ending with both Seth and Nina just being insanely successful feels a little…… 🤐 but I mean, good for them.

Jae’s pep talk was really nice. He’s a good friend. I wish we’d seen more of their friendship.

prologue: “Nina Mendez continued to exist, tucked away in the liminal spaces of his mind. Even when he hadn’t realised.”

now: “Nina Mendez would always exist, tucked in his memory, in the liminal spaces of his mind.”

nice callback!

Yiiiikes i wasn’t expecting that!! But honestly, good for them! I think they both need to really process what’s happening and how they’re feeling.

I can’t get over how pathetic Nina is, in the past timeline 😭 girl, you deserve so much better than this asshole!!

my mans just spent like 50$ on gifts for no reason and is wondering if it’s enough…. oh i need him bad
