a very cool way to reflect the racism white societies are built on. and to whoever annotated this book, please never annotate again.

i like this "with the power of friendship" coded book. only brandon sanderson can take a lighthearted book and viscerally turn it into blood and gore in a second. it was quite the shock but we live and we love and we lie. huck is my goat even though he was a FAKE FAMILAR. not a spoiler.

yeah so that was absolutely devastating. definitely could have been 300 pages longer and it probably would’ve been a 5 stars but i can’t dive into that right now. the ending was just not an ending and was tied up too nicely but the plot just got so much better from the second book. definitely the prettiest book i’ve ever read and im sad it came to an end

shapeshifter by lorde on the hit album virgin is so tori core. was absolutely enthralled until the last 100 pages. i think it lost a sense of direction honestly but i will forever love tori spring as a character because of how perfectly she was made

actual peak. also if you're not reading the author's note at the end, you're reading it wrong. i haven't been this invested in a book for YEARS. i actually dehydrated myself and starved myself through the last 200 pages of the book because i couldn't stop reading it. i felt so whimsical and magical and distraught and like happy to feel those emotions you know? if you look into it enough, which i did, its so atlab core it's not even funny but like not in the way that it's referenced towards it at all but just with similar dynamics but if zuko and katara became a thing you know? the beginning was a little rough with the transitions so i think if the book was like 700-800 pages long it would've been absolutely perfect but i also get why it wasn't and i respect that. also the romance dynamic was just so right until it got a little obsessive because he actually KNEW ! you know i can't really explain unless you've also read the book so lets see if i can remember when book club comes along. if it ever does come along... cough cough ktl and mama cough cough. ugh i can't stop thinking about it.

uhhhh so at the beginning i thought it was going to be my favorite book of the year. it was really good... until the last 75 pages. it just got really weird and kinda ruined the whole book for me. if the ending was changed it would be so good but also this is just coming from a person who hates any gore.

sosososoosososo cute. honestly, the plot was very good in the beginning but i don’t know if this was intended or just how i interpreted it, but it delve more into a romantic plot. like the blushing and whatever it’s just meh. i think it’s more important for middle grade books to cater towards love in a non romantic way and i feel like this kinda pushed the bored but loved it anyway. i think i mostly love it for the tea dragons but that was to be expected
