Eldas is slowly growing on me, but I'll say it again, HARROW IS MORE INTERESTING

'velvet'

god the amount of trauma I have from certain phrases and words all thanks to sjm?? maybe I should sue . . .

okay that was well done

look I know faeries are treacherous lil miscreants in any proper rendition . . . BUT DON'T COME THIS HARD FOR MY FAE BABIES OKAY THEY'RE MY FAV MYTHOS in this house we treat fae with appropriate caution and respect

well finally some progress on the snotty behavior of Eldas

he's still boring though

'But I can see angry sharks swimming in the cool pools of his eyes.'

what a ridiculous metaphor

okay I need a break from this . . . and for Eldas to stop being so weird and look-down-upon towards Luella

proof of my asexuality: if I was swept up whilst enraged . . . I would still be enraged, not suddenly thinking about the tingle of skin on skin wtf

why is Harrow more interesting than Eldas

*cue the 'What's Wrong With Me, Why Do I Feel This Way' music track*

'Mer, vampir, fae, dryads, and more.'

oh my!!

no no no no a fantasy book did not use the word "heck" AGAIN please stop doing this to us

'I know his tall ears can hear me.'

that's actually really funny line and I greatly appreciate it

Luke is hiding something, that man-child full of assumptions

'for those who need a break
and a second glass of wine'

wow yes this is speaking to ME

I'm so flaky bc hard right now holding physical book AND my newest free trial of KU is gonna run out . . . so time to read ALL the Elise Kova books lmao

it's been six years since I read this ONCE when it was first released so let's see how it's held up throughout time bc it comes highly recommended from a dear friend (yes Mary, it's you) but at the same time it has so many low-rated reviews?? what a conundrum . . .

NOW LET'S SEE WHAT I THINK OF IT ALL

well that ending was a bit pell-mell messy

I see this is the night of the kisses but most of them unwanted??

ew I don't ship THAT nope

well, I was full steam head . . . until the weekend hit and I forgot about this until back at work haha

this is so good it made me break my current streak of read at work, binge Netflix at home by instead continuing to read this after work because YES IT'S THAT GOOD

this is such a fun scene and I know, if this is to follow the tropes, all masquerade balls have spiciness to them

"I need you to stop looking at me this way."
"What was is that?"
"Like I'm something you want to spend a long time devouring."

ahhhhh this is book is giving me EVERYTHING I love in fantasies—political tangles and plotting, angst, SO MUCH UST, and a wonderfully-revealed, sprawling and diverse world

'The mask of anger cracked, and I saw something else. Something more than duty. Something I wanted to reach for.'

I ship it

oh so it's like Infinity Stones but instead of collecting powerful rocks it's collecting witches

interesting

there's a constant flow of information given at any time BUT the way it's given doesn't really feel like dumping or a glut which is a special, certain type of talent I applaud and admire and can only hope that one day I can write in a similar way

well I'm utterly hooked

the political machinations in here is lovely

enemies to lovers or bodyguard romance?? idk both sound great
