 “The straight autopsy lines, the jars full of organs watching over her, like her own weird guardian angel.” 

“Nope. That was not how you grieved. You did not imagine the person's dead body up for dissection.”

i couldn’t even dissect a dead frog in seventh grade

3.5/5 stars — a fast paced fantasy novel based on different unnaturals in society. a great take on a gruesome and dark story with nita as the main protagonist.

i really liked this book. it’s not for everyone and there is a lot of medical talk, but the plot was amazing and i loved the main characters.

cw for graphic depictions of torture and dismemberment and everything under the sun tbh

This book was like when youre playing a video game and you cant figure out how to progress the story so you just keep running around the map clicking and interacting with everything you can in hopes something changes and it turns out the solution was the stupidest yet somehow most obvious solution and you're not sure how you missed it but hey you can finally move on except now you're stuck somewhere else and the game isnt even fun anymore so why are you still playing?

no i wont read the sequels, thats not how you end a book

10/10 

This book was so good. It pulled me out of a reading slump, and was so interesting. It feels like there is going to be a slow burn romance throughout the series. If you liked Ninth House, you’d like this book.

I did not finish this book… Made it halfway and had to call it quits
