This bad girl can fit so much fucking trauma in it.
Honestly, for some reason I did not expect things to get THIS fucked up in book 2, and it’s my bad, because I need book 3 RIGHT NOW IMMEDIATELY. (But I am now also scared because… what if it doesn’t fix everything? I am but a soft creature, I need things to be okay for these disasters.)
This series is to me what Game of Thrones is to straight white men.
Kudos to my darling spouse for putting up with my yelling at an audiobook while furiously carving linocuts.
