So the thing is, that there was no point to any of this

Good book good book the protagonist is so fucked up on so many different layers it is so fun and fleshed out 

mid. edgy and tryhard 

Challenging and dark, a difficult read. I understand what it was trying to do but it seems like the author found it difficult to be unclouded by bias regarding random mundane things which took me out of the experience. Also I love Harriet and emanuelle they are my children actually. Fuck gus and susanna 

Starts to lag around the 3/4th mark then plummets into such a tender ending. My only qualm is that there's only so many times you can allude to an event before actually telling us what it is. The payoff to narrating that event tho was tremendous, you truly experience love. All of Ammu's insecurities and how holy they seem to Velutha. It makes me believe in love. Some of diction or wordplay introduced especially around the twins was difficult to follow at times, almost as if the author was playing a game we weren't privy to. Reading those lines (which are constantly repeated like a cheeky refrain) felt a bit isolating. Also I knew that the twins were going to have sex and I hate that they did why is sex the only way to "resolve" feelings or trauma girl come on. Incest plotlines r contrived and overdone buss bohot ho gaya. I've started reading an influx of books centered around motherhood and surprisingly this was one of them? Even though I had not accounted for that at all

Mid. Boring. Picked up the pace toward the middle but aggressively lost all momentum shortly afterwards. Drag ho gaya couldn't wait for it to end, a lot of nothing punctured by little pockets of random activity that is seemingly unrelated. I appreciate what it was trying to achieve, the commentary on motherhood was delicious and the most gratifying part to read but then the book as a whole could have been shorter? Like how did you make a book that's only 243 pages feel like a drag

My 4th reread, it isn't as good as I remember it. I used to believe this was my favourite book in the series but nothing can dethrone the cruel prince from that spot it seems. I had a newfound appreciation for taryn and her callousness this time around until the final reveal then OOOOO IH G H H H HJ I WAS seething jude and cardan are my parents frfr i just want them to be happy i can't be a child of divorce im not having it. Not looking forward to rereading the queen of nothing bcz i remember it to be the most.... flaccid ??? of the trilogy
