“That was the first time he sobbed in earnest. Not the cries of someone driven mad with fear, but the tears of someone who understood and was saddened by their own loneliness—the tears of a human being.”

I can tell part of this book has a bit of a cultural wall I can't break through. Some stories shined regardless of that but others felt like a story told to me in passing.

I love this book oh my godddd its so horrible and twisted and miserable and beautiful and so unreal! I feel like Chung reached into my dreams and pulled something out and slapped it on the pages with a full backstory. This ones truly for the girls, the brutal girls.

3.5

The head: 4.5/5⭐️ disgusting but weirdly entertaining, I can’t believe I was low-key agreeing and sympathising with the talking shit head at the end, well written mummy issues™️
The embodiment: 4/5⭐️
Cursed bunny: 4.5/5⭐️ one of the stand outs, love a good revenge story
The frozen finger: 3/5⭐️ I didn’t fully get it
Snare: 3/5⭐️ definitely the most horrifying story of the bunch and it put me off reading for about a month, did what it came to do but it drags on for too long
Goodbye my love: 3.5/5⭐️
Scars: 2/5⭐️ drags on for way too long
Home sweet home: 2.5/5⭐️ this was the most forgettable story of the lot
Ruler of the winds and sands: 4.5/5⭐️ this is like a dark fairytale but with non typical gender roles
Reunion: 2.5/5⭐️ again I don’t think I fully understood this one, somewhat forgettable
