this man is such a good writer he got me feeling attached to a random snake after like four sentences

BECAUSE I NEED HIM LANDRY 😫😫😫😫

“I have faith in your brother. I had it when he was my friend. I have it now.” 😭😭😭😭

every time I think we’ve lost Tom forever, Kalin refuses to let him go ughhhhh my loves

“Did you just spring up from my own head because I couldn’t see myself through all this without you?”

“I’ve wondered that too. Only the other way around: that you’s the one who sprung from my head because I couldn’t see myself through death without you.”

I love them so muchhhh

“Kalin never did understand the feelin that came over him when Tom had vanished. He’d gotten tenser and tenser, while at the same time feelin increasingly detached from everythin in a way that left no space fer anyone else, not Landry, maybe not hisself, not even the horses.”

screaming crying throwing up this is so romantic

TOM AND KALIN AS ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE I’M SOBBING WTF

“which was where he stayed, him and Ash, the two of them like a sliver of moon set free to wander the dark, a thinning harbor of light, whether there was sun or not”

MZD has such a way with language and this book has some of the most beautiful prose my gosh

i love my little canyon trio so much and i am so worried for them (even tom, like i know he’s a ghost but that’s my son)

Kalin describing Tom as “both a comfort and a curse” and having eyes “maybe brighter than a sky full of stars when there ain’t no storm” as a ghost, am I the only one who ships them??
