Wish I liked the characters

I have thoughts and all of them are equivalent to just shrugging your shoulders

Thanks to Mia for letting me borrow her copy of this

Ch. 1 thoughts because this is due back @ the library:
- I think everyone who loves this book is pretentious (just like the characters) but I also know that’s probably the point.
- as someone who was raised to question everything, I am skeptical of everything this “professor” says because no real professor would say that multiple POVs and ideas make a young mind “confused”
- kinda wanna annotate this book

“Could he be an animal, if music moved him so?”

I actually love space food

Had to make sure there wasn’t gonna be a third book bc if there was I have a feeling this wouldn’t be considered YA anymore

Take 2: can we PLEASE stop with the tiny font i literally can’t see the words

1) there are times when this is misogynistic, and times when the book treats her as a human being (gasp) so idk where we’re going with this. Fingers crossed.
2) he’s 26, okay…she’s SEVENTEEN??? She fell in love and wanted to get married at 16??? Trying to keep in mind this was written in the mid 19th century

I’m loving that I’m reading a bunch of books about feeling lost in your life that are not hopeful at all

(Spoilers) I’m sorry if a strange man essentially forced his way into my house, wouldn’t take no for an answer and then offer me the thing I want most in life I would say NO TO HIM??? I wouldn’t LEAVE WITH HIM?? Also, what’s with the homophobia it’s 2024

Read The Devil and the Dark Water first

So far this book is This Is How You Lose The Time War meets Wilder Girls meets something else but idk what and like everything Stuart Turton has written I LOVE it
