I knew this book would be depressing but I didn't know it would also have a jerkface husband in it. Bertrand, you're awful and your name is weird. Yes, I went there...xD seriously though, I feel so bad for Julia right now. That reaction to her news must have felt like a knife to the heart; I know I was angry, can't imagine how she felt.

So far this book is only reinforcing how terrible I already thought Levana was. While I admire how she actually takes her role as queen more seriously than Channary, there's not a single other quality in her that is in any way likeable. Even though I know what she does next, I'm kind of afraid to read on.

Poor Evret. Levana is so lost, naive and delusional. I felt bad for her at first because Channary is a witch but now she's gone too far.

"Monogamy. Faithfulness. True love. She did not think she had ever witnessed it before...But to be so cherished-what a dream that must be. To have a man look upon you with such adoration. To feel the press of fingers on your back, a silent message to all who saw that you are his and he-he must be yours..."

Ooh I love that!

Never tell yourself, "I'm just going to close my eyes and listen to the audiobook for a few minutes," because then you drift off into a sort-of-sleep and wake up disoriented, not even realizing you had fallen asleep in the first place, having no clue as to what's going on and find yourself unable to remember the last thing you heard...think I need to sleep more.

I am slowly making progress through this...though not enough. Need to finish it by tomorrow night for class. Not enough hours in the day get everything done. College... xD

I've been trying to so many years to read this book but I always seem to get distracted by other books and forget about it. Going to finish it this time though! Making it a mission to read all the books I own.

I have mixed feelings going into this. I have really enjoyed the first three novels in this series, despite how historically accurate or inaccurate they may be, but the reviews for this book are either really good or really bad. Also, the opening of the novel so far did not impress me. We shall see how I feel as I get more into it.

I figured that since I just finished 'Emma' and 'Persuasion' is the last major work of Austen I have to read, I might as well do that now. Austen still has yet to disappoint me, looking forward to this!

Enjoying it so far, though I have to say, Emma was kind of harsh to Harriet about Mr. Martin. I feel bad for the guy really. I understand that there's the whole social class system Austen's characters need to abide to though. I am just really glad that that type of thing no longer pertains to modern society, for the most part.

Finishing this today. I have to.

This book may be overdramatizing the whole "White Purity" group thing just a tad, then again, this was written in the nineties when I was just a kid so maybe it's not, but it is unfortunate how there are people who still hold such racist ideals even today.
