“WHEN I SAY I WILL GO INTO HEAVY DETAIL…. AND I WILL. GO INTO HEAVY DETAIL.”
I LOVE. CARDEN. AND. JUDE. idc what anyone says, they’re perfection. Also the way I just didn’t see anything in this book coming. And I was like is he actually cruel or just acting in a manner he only knows how to articulate because that’s what he’s been raised in yah know? Jude on the other hand is a tough little cookie and it not PRESSED by these lol faerie boys tryna come up in here and do they lol thang to the humans. She said “ok bet, let’s get it” *crack knuckles and neck* and she’s a badass.
I just love Holly and how she slowly reveals the pages of a folding story. I appreciate the ways we get each characters background without extensive monologue. I adore how much you can go from understanding a character to being completely flabbergasted at the audacity of their choices later.
Ugh, I just love this book. And I’m gonna read for the fourth time again, starting rn. Bc #amazing
