Read 2 times. Last read March 31, 2022 to April 18, 2022.
All the stars. All of them. Perfection.
This is one of the most spectacular feats of literature I have ever had the honour of reading.
I really could write a thesis on this opus. Don't worry, I won't, but I will say this: I have never read a more magnificently paced story in my entire life. I have no idea how Sen did, especially given this is no short fanfic, but I was suspended in a state of such intensity the entire way through, from start to finish. It was like being grabbed at the throat and then instead of that grip loosening over time, it tightened.
I hope one day Sen is able to remake and publish this as original work because she deserves a veritable treasure trove of riches for her talents.
Now excuse me while I go cry about this again xx

"Holding it together. Sort of. It’s such a different experience re-reading it. This book legitimately put me in such a state of anxiety the first time around that when something super scary and stressful happened in my real life the day after I finished, I had a full blown panic attack at work 🙃"

"Have only read a teensy bit this week. As I head into the final act, I want to be sure I’m in the right headspace.
A reminder that Saturday at 18:00 BST // 10:00 PST, Hannah, Kierstan and I are doing the next live for the Manacled buddy read.
This week we’re discussing the Flashbacks 🖤"

Yes it needs to be. Real book. It could easily be a stand alone about a war in the magical realm & the casualties of war. It says so much about war, fundamentalism and what makes a hero. Like it obliterates the notion of justice, a good war & heroism with out actually being polemic or preachery.

Literally couldn’t agree more I could write a thesis on this lol
I cannot stop thinking about this book. It has taken over a big part of my brain. After finishing this I have been consistently reading other books and I have hated all of them. Nothing makes me happy. I don’t know what do. 😭
