I can't express how much I needed to hear this. All of this. I am so thankful for this book. :')

*is only a few chapters in but knows it's going to be a favorite*

The amount this book is making me snort because it's funny should be a record XD

okay the kissing is a little mushy for me but their banter is epic

I may have fallen asleep twice reading it but that's also because I'm tired XD

this story about death

I started reading yesterday and I meant to not read more until after classes today but the vibes are fun in this book and it's far more exciting than being productive XD

Mmm yess I like this book. It's sad and cool.


But Eva is 16 and Eli is 21 so I kinda hope they don't like each other romantically unless a few years pass? I think I heard there isn't romance in this book though so *shrugs*

Also these poor characters *hugs*

*stares at the wall* oh. Pure pain and grief. Yup. That was chapter 1 and I'm feeling it. Woah.

I wanted to be sad though so it's perfect D':

and the prose in this book though :O

I know I'm reading multiple books at the same time but I really wanted angst and I think this book has the vibes :D

Ok so if I were Enhanced maybe I would want wings because I'd just fly to work or school or home. :D

Also chapter 1 with those rude customers:
*gets flashbacks of a few retail experiences* XD

Woah this is a little more violent than I expected, but I am enjoying it (the storyline, not necessarily the violence).

“I hate parties,” he muttered beneath his breath.

I already love this man. XD Can't wait for Queen of Shifting Sands!!

AHH YESSS I SAW THIS COMING! OK well I may have gotten a spoiler for it a few days ago but I still feel smart regardless bahaha

All the foreshadowing *chef's kiss*

Don't make me fall in love with these characters just to have them die later, I am begging you Sanderson. I remember book 1. :'(

This part is giving me the mines of Moria vibes from the Lord of the Rings movie --- except make it sea monster. :D

*Is only halfway through but* This book. I like it. Another! *throws it*

*Queen of Shifting Sand appears*

Yessss.

Seeing the creepy stars kinda feels like an out of body experience mixed with a terrible migraine.
10000/10. I am afraid.

Sad vibes. :( But like I knew it would happen and it could have been more sad.

"Like a compass, I’m the needle, and she’s my north, always dragging me toward her." :)

OooO so the mermaid is coming back in the story but is actually spooky. Cooool!

Bruh people are horrible.

Ok I like the boi witness a lot more in the book then the movie!
It's so cool seeing the differences in movie and book!
I also love how there are so many horrible things that almost everyone is okay with (except the pov characters and a few others) but it is so clear that it is not good that the readers can tell. *Applauds*

"A town just ran over him," said Hesther. "I shouldn't think he's very well."

Bahahaha XD

"He smiled faintly like somebody who had never seen a smile, but had read a book on how to do it."

Gold line! :O

"I don’t sleep much."

me: relatable.
XD (hehehe I actually probably get enough sleep I just talk about it a lot as if I don't)

If the mermaid doesn't get justice in this book, I call for a petition for a short story where she is freed.
*nods *
it is necessary.

The siren scene is a bit uncomfy. :(
it's supposed to be but D:

the first few chapters: Cyrus getting beat up by Nerissa
me: poor dude :(

This book is so cool! I'm like learning so much from all the twists and epic worldbuilding, all the tension and then I'm grinning because the characters are so fun!

I wanna write as cool as Brandon Sanderson someday.

Me: I like you
The character: Dies
Me:... ok but I haven't seen the body yet so maybe not dead
Me: *mildly annoyed*

It's cool seeing the similarities and differences to the movie!

Crow boi is 19.
I'm feeling old. :O
