@ysladiaries fair point, i really should have judged the book by its cover haha!! i do see the charm though, i'm a sucker for anything remotely fairytale-ish. i just thought it would have a little more bite?? or at least characters with a little more going on idk
i'm on ch 18 and im kinda disappointed, ngl. i expected this story to be much more raw, but it feels surprisingly childish instead? like where is the mess? why does this feel like an episode of my little pony
@doemiralover i've heard so much praise for it already! i think it's one of those books you have to approach with enough room in your head to actually surrender to it a little. otherwise you're probably missing half the point. definitely adding it to my tbr!!

@doemiralover oh man, those are not exactly promising prospects for me ๐ but if i'm already suffering through this one, i might as well read the second book too. would be a shame to waste all this misery. what would you rec? i'd love to hear your favourites! maybe we have the same taste!!
@jcksapple oh and i genuinely thought i'd researched this well enough ๐ญ i had no idea there was a prequel! good to know though. so does that mean this isn't a soulmate story either??
@jcksapple i hope so because otherwise we're going to have a problem!! but i have a feeling he has a pretty melancholic, sentimental side too? at least that's what's being hinted at? now i need to know if this is about saving him or the classic supernatural being discovers humanity etc
@jcksapple i'm having fun so far but the worldbuilding is currently just me nodding along like i understand haha??? my only complaint is jacks calling her ""pet"" i generally cannot stand those kinds of pet (pun!) names, they trigger me on a molecular level, like bro just stfu
@barelyhanginonn hey, have you read this already or is it new to you too? i'm quite fond of the fmc so far. she's got this ridiculously pure soul that somehow makes her funny to me idk haha? & the whole fates thing has definitely caught my attention. no idea where it's going yet but i'm intrigued
@literarei es ist doch immer ganz nett zu sehen, wer was liest und so tut! ist wie das moderne "aus dem fenster schauen"! wir menschen sind am ende doch auch nur von anderen menschen am meisten fasziniert, ig
@literarei ja, ich hab dich bisschen gestalkt, sonst wรคre es vielleicht weird, dir random auf deutsch zu schreiben haha! hoffentlich bald! momentan will ich aber etwas eher leichtes etc lesen! vielleicht hat bis dahin der gute grrm winds of winter fertig
