LESS THAN 100 PAGES TO GO BABYYYYYYY THE END IS NIGH

Every time I think he can’t possibly fridge another woman in this book, he does. Women literally exist just to die.

At this point I am just begging for the sweet release of death

Jay Kristoff is the Joss Whedon of fantasy authors, I said what I said 😐

SWEET FUCKING JESUS I FINALLY HIT THE HALFWAY POINT

Do you have any idea how obnoxiously you have to overuse the word “fuck” for ME to have a problem with it??? 😫

“There are three ways men view the women of the world, Gabriel. Enemies to be overcome. Prizes to be won. Or as people. My advice is to choose the latter, my love. Lest they begin considering you the former.”

WHAT A FUCKING JOKE TO PUT THAT LINE IN THIS BOOK WHICH SO FAR TREATS WOMEN AS NOTHING BUT ONE DIMENSIONAL OBJECTS AND PRIZES 😑

You can tell this guy thinks he’s the smartest person in any room he enters. He man takes half a page to say something that could be in two sentences and it’s the only reason this book is 700 fucking pages.

It’s not even particularly beautiful writing, it’s just wordy for the sake of being wordy.

I’ve started tabbing. Yellow for anything derogatory to women and orange for anything else that makes me roll my eyes and think “yeah, THIS was written by a man”

This book is really going out of its way to remind me why I vastly prefer fantasy written by women 😐
