"My madness recognizes yours; just like my essence recognizes yours." π€
What a journey that was, friends. My mind was all over the place for a good part of this book and for the first 20% I had no idea what was even happening. I completely understand why some people might drop the book after that or around the 40% mark - it caaan be a lot. We have a story that is so interconnected, three timelines centuries apart, everything coming together throughout the book. And this book is... 700+ pages long. I get it.
HOWEVER, after 30-40% I was a goner, I simply HAD to know what was happening. The glimpses of the MMC?? Don't even get me started on that, I fear no other mmc will ever be able to reach that level of devotion. π
It's so difficult to talk about this without spoiling or giving away anything but at the core of this book is a love story which is tested and attacked, a painful and truly heartbreaking one. But one also full of love, devotion, and light even when there's darkness.
There are several characters, however not all of them were memorable tbh. Most of them were there to cause issues and annoy (me). The emphasis is on the main characters rather than an ensemble.
"Memory or no memory, it's your presence alone that completes me. Never doubt that." π€
I highlighted SO many quotes - usually, I don't highlight as much when I'm reading a kindle book but I was like a kid who discovered crayons for the first time while reading this.
In any case, I will now have to exist knowing I will never have a love like this, how wonderful π₯²
This is definitely not for everyone but I definitely enjoyed this one. π€
Special blend of romance, horror, fantasy, and paranormal! Aka all of my favourite genres together, just for me <3
π« other special quotes:
"I would have waited an eternity for you."
"What's in a name love. You would be mine under any other name. Just like I would be yours."
"How could I want anyone else when I am only because you are? I exist for you just as I exist because of you."
"Before you I was chaos and ruin"
"Until you, I thought life and suffering were synonymous."
ANYWAY I LOVE THEM BYE π₯²π€
