just like straight up headhopping in here and not in the fun body-jumping way

i'm not saying shakespeare's octavia is a strong character, or that she is in fact anything at all (somethig he did deliberately), but otta has to be like. the pinnacle of chloe gong taking shakespearean characters and making them Strong Female Characters Who Kick Punch Edgy Fist Blows

“Calla’s anger gives way to frustration. There is no reason for them to be at odds. No extenuating circumstances, no rules set upon them. They could simply choose to stop being at each other’s throats.”

see it doesn’t get better just because you lampshade it

“[August] offered a sardonic smile to end the conversation and Galipei shut up in an instant, the same way that mortal sacrifices stilled in the presence of their gods, a second prior to being consumed.”

enough about anton and calla i need more of these toxic homo bitches

she did NOT just use the word speedrunning in the vaguely-90s-fantasy book

"[Leida]'s not the one orchestrating new movement against the throne in the provinces."

wait hey yeah why is calla even worried about that anyway. she hates all these people and she hated the previous monarch adn she doesn't trust august or anton. why are we all so married to monarchy continuing to exist

it’s so hard for me to try to care about how the last book ended. it did not have to. they did not have to death match there were so many ways they could’ve avoided that shit

“For the first time, she’s starting to wonder if the provinces are better at hiding secrets from the palace than she thought.”
