I peeked at this last night and THE FONT IS SO TINY

where tf is my promised "even more steamier" romance bc right now that's kinda all that's keeping me going here mkay

this is a fluff fantasy, I'm realizing

it's good! It's fun!! but it just doesn't have the depth & achingly beautiful quality I prefer haha

NO I HAVEN'T EVEN CRACKED THIS OPEN YET and yes I am disappointed with my butterfly brain

oh gosh all the stuff I didn't like is doubled here and it's starting to grate

"even steamier romance"

😏😏😏😏😏😏

Crawling out of a social block for personal reasons I hope won't make a reappearance??

So here's links to my Bookstagram & Twitter

all right, this is getting a bit more interesting now tbh

already found out a MAJOR spoiler (accidentally) and so I'm a bit salty but also wondering if I'm gonna cry

honestly this is coming across as a bit more juvenile than the perspective of a graduated 18yo with apparently crippling debt??

It's good and great but WHAT ABOUT MY SHIP

could be the digital version of the ARC but this seems to be faster paced than the first?

I have hope for the redemption of a certain someone and if I don't get that tbh I'll be okay but also really salty and disappointed

I . . . don't want this to end so if I stop reading it that means it will never end!! yeah, good plan *nods*

'If there were no compulsory sexuality, aces would not need a community to support us. It would not be so meaningful for aces to find each other and realize that we're not broken.'

the author is REALLY hitting well on the topic of asexual views/minds in a hyper-sexualized society

I can't get more then 2 pages into this without cringing

this is just . . . really well-written

“I grew up thinking monsters could be slain.”
“Ah,” he said. “And I grew up thinking people were the monsters.”

“Pain doesn’t make a person weak or strong,” she said. “Pain just—is. It’s not a purifier, it’s part of living.”

so far this is more of an easy read than all the other books on asexuality I've read before so that's nice

dear Lord only 2 pages into the story and I've already cringed through, like, four different things

w h y am I reading this again??

“Her mother,” said Ryn. “Likely a frail old woman.”
“Clearly,” said Ellis, “you have not spent time near older women. I’ve met ones who could bring down a dragon with a glare and a sharp word.”

Ellis knows what's up

'To most people, death was the worst thing.
After years of digging graves, Ryn had little fear of death. Death was quiet and stillness. It was fresh earth and wildflowers. It was coin in her purse and a hole in the ground.
No, the worst thing was uncertainty. When her father had vanished, it would have been a relief to have had a body, rather than just questions.'

'There was something about siblings—a language that was half memory and half glance. Jests and jibes. They were a tangle of love and resentment, and despite their differences, Ryn knew he would defend her to the death.'

sibling relationships written proper is a rare thing in books tbh

'She held up the chicken—she had it upside down by the legs, and the bird had its wings extended, but it did not flap nor try to escape; rather, it looked as resigned as a bird could. “You forgot one.”

chickens do be like that

'No warrior could stop the dead.
But perhaps a gravedigger could.'
