it was amazing
bookshelves: all-time-favorites, arcs
Read 2 times. Last read July 26, 2024 to August 1, 2024.

you don’t understand how over it had to be before we could be this back

With so many emotional reconciliations, confessed feelings, near misses, and epic confrontations it’s no wonder i spent most of this book being stressed as hell and waiting for the other shoe to drop (basically the bone season experience amiright?)

the dark mirror is certainly a long awaited sequel but it’s heartrending and masterfully plotted and deserves to be read over and over again

i already cried my eyes out to chapter 13 (samantha shannon when i catch you…when i catch you samantha shannon) ch 23 - 25 you are beloved by me

also maria channeling frodo baggins was so hehe

thank you to edelweiss and macmillan for the arc:)
